The Idiot Ship sets sail, Ahoy!
As you may be aware, I am currently taking a course at the U in order to fulfill some prerequisites before applying for a Masters program. A few of my classmates are in the same boat as I and over the course of the summer, I've noticed something: Post-grads? Cool, for the most part. Undergrads? Morons. For the most part. Some of them are okay, but dude, if I was that annoying my sophomore year of college? I sincerely apologize to all my professors.
Anyway, we're gearing up for our final project/class presentations and I wound up in a group with one cool post-grad and one very annoying undergrad. This kid has been killin' me since day 1, for serious. He's just a moron. Like, "I have the syllabus in front of me and I heard what you just read directly from the syllabus and I repeated it back to you but hang on... you want us to do what for our papers?" And we have to present on an interpersonal relationship in any television show and expound on the communication concepts exhibited therein, i.e., self-disclosure, persuasion, conflict, interpersonal needs, etc.
HEL-lo! I just so happen to know of one interpersonal relationship in particular that would be perfect for this project. Not only are all these concepts abundantly clear on this show, but I have all the episodes on tape and the capabilities to easily create a montage of scenes. So I'm explaining the premise of Smallville to my group members and post-grad is all cool with it, but what does undergrad moron think? Well, first of all he's never seen it. Aw, woobie. Remember before? What I said about having all the eps on tape? Secondly, he's afraid it'll be too "sci-fi" and the class won't like it. Um, hi. You're a fuckwit. I didn't even comment on that. Finally, he suggested we opt instead for an in-depth analysis of the interpersonal relationships in - are you ready for this? -Everybody Loves Raymond.
Fuckwit.
So I'm just going to have to put my foot down on this. There is no motherfucking goddamn way I am doing a project on Everybody Loves Raymond when I have the chance to talk about the romantic undertones of the Lex/Clark relationship in an academic setting. As the Apostle Jordan, it really is my calling and duty to spread the Hoyay Gospel and fuckwit undergrads shall not stand in my way. Any advice on how to deal with this child?
In other news, I totally found my wedding photographer! And she's open for my date!
