Love/hate relationship
First week of semester is basically an entire week of classes devoted to the professors telling us just how much they are going to work us and how often.
A small part of me craves deadlines, though. I wonder if that is the same part of me that causes anxiety thinking about the future.
Interesting...
Today, I also learned that I clash with highly self-assured egocentric intellectual types. I didn't know I had a "type" that I clash with, but there is no other explanation for me getting so easily flustered from talking about a difference of opinion on a sensitive topic. These people can sometimes be condescending with their intent to share information. It comes off as "holier than thou," which rubs me the wrong way. I can often avoid clashing with them if I want, if I am okay with coming out of it feeling like I gave up. I think it's called "taking the high road," which I do a lot. Sometimes I am tempted to prove people wrong who I know are wrong, but that doesn't make me any better.
I become a better person by being able to stop and think about my choices
