[…] my friend, that was mentioned in my last post. She shows up and sits down next to me. Now, by this time, the lecture hall is almost full and […]

Blah. Some people.. right? I mean.. I did decent in high school. In college, I will admit that I didn’t study like I should have.. BUT I also didn’t go calling random class mates bitching about how I was going to fail. Atleast you didn’t baby her 🙂

I see people exactly like this all the time at my university. It drives me crazy. I think it’s because freedom gets to people’s heads. They’re not accountable anymore, because they don’t have to bring home their grades to their parents (who might punish them, or at least be very disappointed). So, now they don’t have that incentive to do it, so they don’t.

Me, I’m obsessive about doing well. I freak out if I get a B. Unless of course it’s in math. Then I’m ecstatic. xD

Wow that’s ridiculous. However, it’s her own fault and she’s brought it on herself. I saw it all through college – bright people who are very good in school who just can’t manage their time when there isn’t a giant list of rules and consequences at every corner like high school.

Ugh.. that is her own fault, and her own problem. I wouldn’t have any sympathy for her either. In HS i can see people doing that because hey they are kids and blah blah blah but hello its College…. people like that I wouldnt help only because they did it to themselves.

Hmm. I knew girls like this when I attended High School. I stopped riding the bus and caught rides with my brother instead when my friend kept asking for my math homework so she could cheat off of me. :/ Some people are just lazy and don’t deserve the privilege of the education that is trying to be provided to them.

Huh! Funny girl, that. She’s probably feeling rather ashamed of herself – I’m guessing she knew she was great in high school. I don’t know whether to feel sorry or just.. disgusted?

But hey, I never really did good in high school, and I wasn’t competitive at all (academically, anyway.. I hated that bitch who waved at everyone as if she was friends with them.. bull). I had pretty bad marks so it made sense to say I was failing and I would fail.

Even going to a gifted/talented school where we were disciplined and had our work marked so strictly – I still didn’t do very well.

But back on track, being lying doesn’t deserve sympathy, but being stupid.. depends.

I don’t think I’m competitive at all. Used to be I’d aim for at least a C, but now I’ve upped it to at least a B. It irks my parents, but hey, a B is still good pickins’.

Slackers deserve to fail. That’s what I tell myself, haha.

I’m the same way in schools. If I can’t be perfect and have an A, I feel like there’s no point in the class. I’m way competitive with my grades and used to be even worse in high school.

Uhg. People like that… make me frustrated. It’s one thing to skip lectures and study a lot on your own time and get good marks, but to just slack off completely and expect to do okay, that’s just dumb and lazy.

You were nice to give her two minutes of her time, at least!
