I am SO blogging this

Eloise (my new laptop) and I are out and about today, and so I have the fine opportunity for sharing some of the Very Valuable Things I am Learning About Humanity with all of you lovely people in real time. yeay.

For example, two rather egotistical undergrads are sitting in the cafe next to me, studying for some sort of Philosophy Of Science exam. They are spending most of their time Talking in Very Loud Voices about how much smarter they are than their professor, who is "Far too insistant about everyone else adopting his definitions for words." It should also be noted that their profesor "is British, so there's no way we can expect to understand him as if he actually spoke English." And that in general, they find his english to be "exceptionally poor."

Also, complaning about how the sample questions on the study guide are 'ridiculously vague' and proclaiming that when the professor is SO STUPID they Just Don't Care. Oh thank god, they have just declared they should stop studying because "At this point, it's just pandering," "well, there's not much difference between pandering and understanding."

Poor, poor undergrads. Their time is so wasted here at college, doing an undergrad degree. There really is nothing they can possibly learn here. It's too, too bad and sad that they don't immediately recognize the brilliance of Some People and admit them into grad programs straight out of high school.

I told Jesse that we should also Talk In Loud Voices About Stuff That Makes Us Sound Smart, and his response was "I like hot dogs." Then we spat our tangerine seeds out on the sidewalk and wiped our drippy tangerine-juice-hands on our jeans.

I am so glad that I am not 20 and an arrogant little snot-rag any more.

Also I am glad that I do not teach philosophy classes.
