As I'm writing this, the skin on my left hand is tingling from moving the fingers around. The skin is still slightly swollen from half a cup of scalding hot tea being spilled on it after someone bumped into my elbow while I was getting a spoon. The girl threw an apology over her shoulder and we made eye contact. It was long enough for her to know that I was pissed and the hot water fucking HURT, especially after I did say "fuck" when the water came into contact. But no, she didn't stop. She didn't spare the one minute to double back and make sure that I was okay and that all I needed was some cold water on the skin and a proper apology.
Seriously, what is wrong with the end of the school year that turns people into a bunch of discourteous animals? Everyone is busy. Mount Holyoke contains simultaneously the rudest and also the most polite group of people I've met.
