kick outees
Walking towards the North Car Parking Lot with Joey, I realized how desolate the school was today. Yeah, just today. It then hit me that it's the last Friday of the formal semester, and most people didn't have classes anymore. Pity, I will cease seeing a whole bouquet of faces once the yearly QPI is computed and finally released.
Had an interesting talk with Panunch over dinner lastnight. It touched on how worried we both are for certain people we care about, and this worry is a sort of paranoia because most of them aren't really under 1.8. Imagining "chill sessions" at SOM Mall without a couple of familiar faces just wouldn't be the same. Concerns about people not being able to afford the next term also disturbed us since it's actually these people who deserve to be in school. Branching off from that, we discussed the benefits of the grade cut-off which was mainly... tantatantan: eradicating the lataks which are stupid and do not, in any case, deserve to be in an environment where they should be gone. As concluded last night, if they really are stupid, they could at least try studying.
Angelo says I think too much. I have high standards which when left unmet causes a severe dragging through the mud of disrespect. I do not respect those who do not generate it, and the task of earning it involves intelligence, discipline, and the execution of a proper upbringing. I have no respect for sluts who can't respect themselves, I have no respect for airheads who can't tell that "stereotypical" means "the norm", I have no respect for those who freeload and do not know the virtue of fairness. Gio says I can't expect much out of the world, that to set my standards on it is futile since I demand perfection. The dilemma of whether or not I should sympathize with these kick-outees (or soon-to-be kick-outees) remains circumstantial.
Like in the case of one of my English blockmates. I believe he deserves sympathy since it is evident that he really is trying, he was just born mentally retarded and slightly autistic. The fact that he has a say in the matter and tries to make the right decision, yet is hindered by a defect which overpowers his own will, commands respect. In certain cases, however, the person is just too stubborn to save themselves from disgrace. Believe me, I have met a handful of this type.
POST SCRIPT:
MM, Angelo, Sam, Ching, Jo, Jika, Chris, Miguel, Migz, Phil, Ysab, Aziel, Lester, Panunch, Charls, DQ, Anjo, Sharky, Jovic, Louis, Joey... I can't be any happier that I ended up befriending you guys. Given our individual personalities, I DON'T have to worry about losing any of you at the end of this sem due to grade concerns. Yeah, you're all assholes. I'm confident you could pull it off at the last minute. :P
