What should I write today? By rights, I shouldn’t even be writing. I have an exam tomorrow and I should be studying, but oh well, procrastination is my specialty. I’ve been lurking around the forums this evening, trying to guage people’s characters. I’ve given up waiting for a reply from my friend’s enemy, the one who has condemned me by association. (I’ll call her C, for convenience. I don’t like mentioning names)
I sent her this completely diplomatic reply saying I wasn’t interested in her grudges against my friend (whom I’ll call B, again, for convenience), but she’s free to discuss my inadequacies. Either she’s not interested in arguing with me about me (which was our original topic) or she can’t think of anything to say to that. At any rate, it doesn’t show C in good light, especially since she’s been saying nasty things on other forums about B and my other pals. However, I haven’t been mentioned, so I really shouldn’t be caring, even though I do care. I’m loyal to my friends, and I’m protective in a way. She’s been downright horrid to some of my other friends from B’s forum. I guess I can safely say she’s the first person I’ve ever labelled a b*tch, except then I’ll feel guilty because female canines don’t deserve this sort of association.
Anyway, that was a whiny feminine rant. My life is boring, and I have no social life 😉 Everything is centred around the academics at the moment. Exams suck. I don’t think they’re accurate tests for how much a person actually knows. I mean, I’m all right when it comes to pressure and working under pressure (most of the time) but some people just can’t deal with it, and while they might be utterly brilliant, they just lose their ability to process information under pressure. That’s rather unfair to them because people whose brains are equipped to deal with this sort of pressure get better results than the truly brilliant ones.
