Urgh, why are some people so stupid? I wasn't looking forward to English class because we were going to go watch some stupid war movie and I usually find those movies pointless. However, I would go watch five hours worth of them just to escape what happened in today's session.

I mean, seriously people, you're in college now. And like you're supposed to be kinda smart and kinda hardworking if you can get into UMich you know--it's not like you're in some community college and stuff but seriously...urgh. Listening to people whine and complain about not being able to write 7 page essay for an hour an a half is not my idea of being productive or a particularly engaging class time. It's your own freaking fault if you box yourself into some paltry subject matter. We can have outside sources--you can delineate from the prompt. There's so much freaking freedom that you could write twenty pages worth on any of the issues raised. I mean, seriously, I can't believe this girl was complaining that she couldn't find enough resources on women and war. Plus like all these issues could easily be fixed during GSI office hours or you can go to Sweetland--there are so many possibilities open. Don't moan about your own issues and waste everyone's freaking time! I already printed out this one girl's essay who was complaining about subject matter and...seriously...she had like huge six paragraph long block quotes which were in dire need to be addressed in itself but like, in five minutes me and this other guy gave her enough ideas to write another ten pages...I mean just suck it up and do the work. If you used half that energy to find out ways to complain about a 7-9 page paper as you were trying to think of a decent subject to write about or doing the research then you wouldn't have this problem.

This is something I expected out of my loser sociology class from senior year, not from a second semester English class. Urgh, grow up people.

Look, I can act childish if I want, but that's not the same as being childish. I mean, I would like to think that there's a difference between me just acting silly and playful than other people who are just whining and trying to weasel out of work.
