i learn a lot of things in class.
for instance, today we talked about how technology and the changing socio-cultural environment are affecting how human beings interact with each other.
somewhere along the course of the discussion, teacher mentioned how people are becoming more and more withdrawn. one example given was how people who commute to and fro work everyday used to know everybody in the train or bus (public transportation here follows a schedule, so people tend to see the same faces all the time). she said, "nowadays, nobody even seems to be looking at each other, much less interact. everybody's preoccupied and shut off from the world with their newspapers and books and headphones..."
headphones = antisocial...
oh, so THAT'S why i've been lusting after that iPod nano lately.
...
here's something else i've learned today:
i don't do well in classes that deal with abstract theories and discussions.
i like the lecturer, i really do. she actually reminds me of one of my cousins - same little frame, same cute smile (with the retainers), same mannerisms, same expressions. she's also friendly and approachable. it's just that i sit there and listen to all this vague talk and i just don't get any of it. the ideas presented seem simple and straighforward enough ("health is... health" - doesn't get any more direct than that, does it?), but you just know, know deep in your bones, that the very first question you'll encounter in your test will be something along the lines of "what page of what study listed as one of the references in this journal's footnotes did this particular quote come from?".
i hate it.
come to think of it, i don't do well in classes that deal with logic, processes, problem-solving, statistics and cold, hard facts, either (that really is just a nicer way of saying i suck at math and science as well).
we can therefore conclude that i'm not really a schoolgirl kind of person.
except for the uniforms. i wish i could wear a uniform. for some odd reason, school uniforms had always turned me on when i was younger.
...
it's a day of life-changing realizations.
it's funny how i get berated over something i do and am, and then witness that person turn around and do the exact same thing.
labo.
...
one more thing i learned today: i'm a sucker.
"... i got to see The OC yesterday... i love summer... plus, summer does sort of look like you..."
i don't look anything at all like summer, that's a mammoth lie right there. still, just like that, i'm in love again.
i want to kill myself now.
