(no subject)
I got my grad pics today, well the proofs. Not as bad as I had expected them to be. I got six pictures taken and I think I like four of them. four out of six pictures! That's crazy. I never take good pictures, and I'm not saying that these ones are that good, but the fact that I'm happy with four of them says something. I was showing my mom the pictures when I got home today and when we were looking at them, I started to think how bad i looked. I look fat and ugly...or evil as khalid chooses to describe my smile. harsh
Still waiting on guelph's package to arrive. Every other university i applied to has sent me info. I get all excited whenever I get mail from a university. I'm such a dork. OOOOOOoooooOOOOO i got into the economics class for next semester. Yay, no virtual school for me, but I did lose my spare, which would have been my favourite class. oh well, I'm just happy because everything worked out quite nicely for me and I won't have to rely on my chemistry mark for next year. But that spare would have been mighty useful.
We had a class discussion in philosophy this morning about identity. Somehow, we ended up talking about how if you're really interested in someone else and you really hit it off, but then the other person comes out with a ridiculuous opinion, you have the option to deal in a few ways. the first, is to change the subject entirely. the second, is to state your opposite opinion, while trying to defeat the other person's opinion, in a subtle manner. and there was a third one that I can't remember now. I just sat there thinking, why not state your opinion clearly and find out why the other person thinks in a way that is entirely different from yours? that's what i would do. Why should one have to hide their opinion just because it's different from someone elses? Even if you really want that someone else to like you, you should feel comfortable enough to express your thoughts freely, no? I was wondering why no one in the class said anything like this. Why aren't more people straight forward and honest? So what if a few feelings get hurt, there's always a tasteful way to say what you think without insulting someone. I think it's more insulting to never be challenged by anyone. The teacher made it seem like you should not directly state what you think, and people agreed with him. I dont get it. You don't have to be rude about it. There was something else that annoyed me about that class this morning too, but it escapes me now.
Calculus test moved to thursday. yippee..too bad i'm still going to fail it.
miss the boy...*unhappy face*
I feel like going to the circus...haha
