Normally I'm pretty accepting but today I realised sometimes I'm not. I attend university...and while I think anyone who wants to work hard to achieve tertiary qualifiactions should be able to attend and be supported regardless of their perceived intelligence level(e.g. I have an IQ of about 169 but I Also have a learning disorder so need extra time to complete things and a bit of extra support but I always produce excellent work if my needs are met so lectureres are willing to be flexible). too many of the people who attend my university only do so because they were accepted or their marks were high enough. Many of them don't deserve to be here and frankly alot of those are too stupid to be here. when you hear them talking you can tell they don't understand what a privelege it is to be part of the university learning process. And the way they talk about the people they think are "beneath" them just makes me want to perpetuate violent acts. also when they stand around critiscising what other people are wearing etc It pisses me off to the point where I actually do comment. I hate them and wish I didn't have to share my education experience with them because they are too dumb to learn the right stuff! (i.e. they are my intellectual inferiors and Given the choice I would have them banished).

Soak up the learning, and learn what to just let slide off you like water off a duck's ass, Boris. You're learning; they're just getting a degree. Yours is the more valuable education.

I know. I felt that way, too. I dropped out of high school, worked full-time jobs, sometimes 2 and 3 jobs at a time, and dropped into college at age 27. It was an awakening. I was there to LEARN, to learn everything I could about everything. Others just seemed like they were there to go through the motions or have something to do between parties. And while I hated them for that, I couldn't blame them, because if I'd gone from high school to college, I'd have done the exact same thing, and likely would've flunked out!
When I went, I *KNEW* what a privilege it was, and how lucky I was to be there. Wish I could finagle a way to go back. I guess my problem was, I never had a career path for my degree plan; I took classes that interested me, for the sake of knowledge and learning. I don't have a practical application for analytical geometry most days, but I'm glad I learned it anyway. Ditto all those political science courses and history classes.

I spent most of my time sleeping, not because of parties, but just... because. I get tired easily for some reason. I try not to, it's kind of rude, and I wanted to learn also, but if I just sit down for a little while anywhere, I pretty much am falling asleep in a couple of minutes. I never could help it much, and back then I was actually GETTING full nights of sleep.
I liked to pretend I got tired so much simply because I had an alter-ego who stayed awake fighting crime all night. I have a horrible memory, so sometimes I find bruises I don't remember how I got, so I just shrug and tell myself that excuse.

Nobody needs to attend college to get a diploma. Dictator Saddam Hussein Obama Bin Laden said so.

PEACE John Lee, executive producer,
Due to the enormous number of requests for interviews regarding the CIA Columbia Obama Trial, I am scheduling a Press Conference for Friday, 21 May at 4 p.m. at ATLAH World Missionary Church, located at 38 West 123rd Street, New York, New York 10027.
I will not be able to do any individual interviews or appearances until the Press Conference has been completed.
Thank you for your interest in the future of our nation, and the results of the trial.
To the listeners of The Manning Report, I am extremely exhausted and will not be broadcasting again for a few weeks. Continue to visit our website daily for news and information about our effort to present the guilty verdict to the US Department of Justice.
In His Royal Service,

Discuss these and other facts of history in class, and see how fast the Operatives attack... Ever had uniformed cops with guns and active-duty uniformed soldiers sit next to you in class?

Ah-ha, so YOU'RE my secret identity.. I wondered where I left it this time.
The scary part is that's half believeable.

I'm sorry you are having sucha hard time Boris...If you are smart enough to get an ed-ju-mu-caton you should be smart enough to realize that by far the vast majority of beings on this planet are vain, shallow, vapid, animalistic prigs. There is no fix for them. College does NOT guarantee you will be in more intelligent company. Hate them ALL the time and your life becomes comfortably worse and then eats you from the inside out. As I was tellin' someone else the other day "Frustration! Baby-you got ta breathe!
Pie??? Are you talkin' cherry or 3.16?

I don't hate em all the time. Usually I ignore em, and luckily I have a diverse group of friends to keep me sane at Uni...I've just had a couple of consecutive days where I've been around students spouting their vaccuous asinine perspectives and the attitudes weren't directed at me but they still irked me enough to stimulate eye rolling and acidic comments. I'm actually more irked about the fact that I really do beleive I'm more evolved than alot of people (not any of you :-))and that level of arrogance in myself disturbs me but I can't annihilate it some days.
