so i've decided that there is an unequal ratio of uncool people to cool people at occ.
take my english class.
there's this really AWESOME old guy who's in my class. he's such a dick, but he's so COOL. that's what makes him cool. he was asking the english teacher about what audience we should be writing our papers to, and she replied that the class should be the audience. immediately he gave this awesome sigh that suggested the entirety of the class were morons, which they ARE. it was soooo cool, because you know that he has every right to think that way. this guy must be in his late 60's and is taking a composition 2 class. the thing is, he's really smart. you can tell. he probably can write like an english scholar but instead is stuck in a low-grade english class writing about poets that he probably doesn't particularily care about. it's strange how sometimes when i'm in a class with some people i feel that i really appreciate them, and this makes me be on somewhat of the same wavelength as them. i relate, but not in the way that he does. i'll admit i can't write like my sister, but i think that i can write a very respectable paper. the people in my class do not know what's up. anyways, this totally awesome old guy seems really insightful, he seems like he listens the majority of the time and when he talks that it's kind of a big deal. i don't know, some people at this school are a breath of fresh air. the dick-ish old guy is a breath of fresh air.
then you got these bored annoying middle aged women who are in this class because they think too hard. there's this older woman in my class who thinks too hard about EVERYTHING. hell, she thinks too hard about what she says herself! she's always interrupting herself in the middle of her own sentences and thinks that she "gets" it. which, even if she does, she's so caught up with what she "does" know, that she can't comprehend what she "should" know. i'm not trying to be a twenty year old self-righteous girl, but c'mon lady. We were discussing an article we read and i explained how i didn't agree with what the author was saying at all. this woman proceeded to then de-rate my opinion by telling the class that "you realize things when you get older, and blah blah you'll understand it when you're older, blah blah blah..." guess what, lady, i may be only twenty but i am NOT ignorant. it was just pretty annoying, i suppose.
anyways, there are plenty of wierdos that go to occ. i think i've realized this already in only two weeks into my summer semester.
