I realized today how scared people are to stand up to what they can't deal with.
I wrote a letter to a professor of mine constructively stating that I pay to be taught and he does not fulfill that notion. I didn't write it with hostility or ignorance. It's the end of the semester anyway and there's not much he can do to change anything either. It was more, I was troubled for the classes he teaches in the future. I signed it "Thank you, a concerned student."
So I passed it around to my classmates with a separate piece of paper that said "Please read and sign if you agree" 10 out 15 signed it, one of them erased their name. I gave it to my professor and he was a complete asshole about it and that's partly the reason I waited so long to do it. He's always shot down any students questions which is ridiculous considering in order to learn one has the right to inquiry.
I wish people would acknowledge their faults and I wish people would not be scared to stand up to what makes them unhappy or struggle. I understand that there will always be struggles in life, but I feel that we need to fight through it in order to accomplish anything. I am glad that I haven't let apathy get the best of me.
With that aside, I got hired at White House|Black Market. S. Olive doesn't want to let me go and I wanted to leave my options open for coming back in the fall. I will be working three jobs this summer and going to a summer class. It will be crazy but I want to keep busy and make money so that I can move.
I wonder if I'll get burnt out from working, but I think that if I didn't it would be too difficult to have initiative for school in the fall.
Anyway.. It's the same old shit.
