Today has been a very Bad Day. Mostly for 2 reasons:
1) I have been despicably foolish and absent-minded (forgetting to bring hum paper to prof's mandatory apptmt, looking for a room in the wrong building, missing 2 questions that I should have gotten on the Bio quiz, and just utterly failing the Ling quiz where I shouldn't have). Also have been shy and timid. bah.
2) Pretentious people. ("Well, you didn't read Wu Hung's book, did you? I guess it's okay since you're just auditing, but..." Hel-lo, I think it'd be hard to find 2 people in the class who've actually read the extra reading. We have a hard enough time slogging through the archaeology book that's posing as an Art History book, and sometimes feels even more abstruse than Nietzsche. And you expect the 40 of us to go fighting for the 2 books on reserve in the large sleep-inducing radioactive library? Also, you may not realize it, but it's an undergraduate survey course. You *do not* announce 2 days beforehand that Friday's discussion section is extended for one hour and is downtown at the Art Institute. You do realize that it takes $3 and 1 hour for the round trip transportation, and $6 for the ticket? And we had other things planned that day. God, I'm seriously thinking about not going. Oh, then there's that SS-LBC lady, who has no idea what she's talking about, but I can't prove her wrong, either.)
Well, now I feel a lot better. Yeah, I know these aren't really big/impt annoyances. Which is why today is a Bad Day, not a Hellish Day. So not pissed at the ArtH ppl anymore. Have learned acceptance of fate. Still a little pissed at self for being idiot and for being immature and whiny. It's just sad that it takes so little to make me happy (like finding an indoor route through 3 buildings, short walk across Botany Pond, scanning slides...) And yet I allowed myself to get that annoyed. Oh well. I'll just leave it at "a Very Bad Day", and hope that tomorrow doesn't get any worse.

I guess I can vent once in a while, especially if I realize that I'm being whiny and venty. Besides, that's what LJ is for, right?

I'm sorry about the pretentious people, they seem like a lot, but you're gonna think of them someday when you're successful and famous and be like, hah! If they could see me now they'd kiss my ass.
And yes.. venting is very very good..
