Of hell week and stereotyping...

I might get upset over the most trivial things but one thing that really gets me mad is a person who imposes his stereotypes on other people... I know that everyone is guilty of having stereotypes; I also have my own... But i really really hate it when someone imposes theirs on you... It doesn't matter if it's good or bad/ popular or not... It's because i feel smothered...

People who impose stereotypes usually haven't felt what it feels like to be labeled or "classified"... It's usually because they go with the popular culture of the day... It's not a nice feeling... It destroys your sense of freedom and self-expression... While it doesn't sound that bad, let me tell you, IT IS... I dunno, but of all things, this really pisses me off...

I hate it when people say that guys should be like this macho-thinking and nothing else... That these people are like this and they're bad... And worst of all..? People who think that anything/anyone that doesn't go with their "flow" and thinking are INFERIOR to them...

I'm sure not all of them mean it... after all, it's in their subconscious, just molded by their environment... (although sometimes, it borders on insensitivity and becomes annoying...) but the thing is, some give a defiant "superior" downward look on others... i hate narrow-mindedness...

Well... sorry for the rant... I know I'm guilty of some of the things I said but I'm just pissed off...

Man... I'm never going to cram again...

When I hear the upperclassmen talk about "Hell Week" i can always hear that subtle mix of despair and pride... I really didn't get it before...

But as with all the bad things in the world, you have to experience it first hand to understand it... While it wasn't as bad as the upperclassmen were talking about, it was still bad... It's not really the workload that'll surprise you but it's that psychological weight that suddenly descends upon the school...

I dunno... It's hard to define but there seems to be a heavy atmosphere at school... It's like people are very relaxed even though they have tons of work to finish... People are also seem to move much more slowly... It's as if everyone is waiting for sign of impending doom...

Well... That's hell week for ya... ^^_
