"And I'll Never Let Him Go and I'll Never Be Alone..."

Ohhh, to-day was a cake made of badness--a triple-layer Bad cake with Bad frosting and a Badberry jam filling. I hate filled cakes.

Woke up at seven for Anthro, seriously considered skipping, did not skip, got my exam back, and then got into a fight with the professor. >_< Because she stated that band societies were totally egalitarian, and then went on to say that in band societies men were considered expendable. I asked how they could then be egalitarian. She said because men's work was valued as much as women's. I said that wasn't what I was asking. She said that I was missing the point. I said that it didn't seem possible to state that a society was egalitarian and then say the lives of a portion of that society were valued less. She said that they didn't see it that way. I said that it wasn't a question of how they viewed it, it still wasn't egalitarian. She said that I just wanted to argue with her. I wished that I had skipped class after all.

...anyway, I did skip French so I could work on my philosophy paper, which is due Friday. I worked on it for six hours, stopping only to go to Religion, and to go to supper at the Chinese restaurant with Charlie, Liz, Phil, Matt, Shawn, and Liz's friends.

Shawn was surprisingly nice. Charlie was an asshole and made me have an anxiety attack. Then we went to Wal*Mart and I had another anxiety attack because Wal*Mart is fucking huge and I had to go sit in the foyer and breathe into my hands. Charlie was so asshole-y that he actually apologised for his behaviour, something he has literally never done before, and that includes the time he punched me for surprising him when I was a freshman. It did not help, incidentally. He is no longer a Safe person, and honestly this is a time I can ill afford to be losing Safe people. I don't get them all that often. Now I feel sick to my stomach when I'm around him.

Then I worked on the essay until eleven, when Michelle kidnapped me and we reached the high point of the day, which was her reading to me and Maggie (we finished our book!). And now it's one a.m., I haven't checked any of my sites, I'm still not done with the goddamn essay (I have all eight pages of text, but I still have to organise and clarify and basically make them not suck), and I need to get to bed because I have therapy to-morrow morning which I probably need, not least because I really don't want to go to it. I am going through one of those squicky periods where I really really hate talking to a therapist.

...I am going to go lie in my bed and hate everything. I haven't even gotten any other homework done for any of my other classes because of this.

Oh god is there anything about your anthro prof that doesn't suck? *clings* Good on you for standing up to her.

I don't know oh god. ;____; to-day she told us that women are seen as polluting and are not allowed to touch the guys' stuff, BUT THEY ARE STILL EGALITARIAN OKAYS. eugh.

Someone in the department ought to be informed about this lousy anthropology teacher. She is quite lousy. Do you guys do faculty evaluations at the end of the semester? I have no idea if that's a universal policy or a weird thing we do here.

More importantly: <333333 *hugs <3 and <<<3. And a snuggle!

idek, if she's tenured we can't evaluate her but if she isn't we can.

*clings*

as made of fail as your professor is, i'm proud of you for arguing on your own behalf -- which i've always thought a large of academia was learning to do, so honestly. she must be deliberately obtuse.

i'm glad there was surprising niceness from shawn -- and sorry there was asshole-ishness elsewhere. you're right, you don't need to deal with that. *hugs*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2010-03-17 01:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It makes me deeply uncomfortable to do so, though. I got all sick to my stomach. >_<

Shawn has his moments! Sigh, Charlie.

i get that -- confrontation of any sort makes me ill. and you shouldn't have been forced to the point. but i am proud of you.

well, he has songs! but sigh, indeed. *brandishes fist at charlie*

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2010-03-17 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
yes. Ugh. I hate it so much.

He does! & the songs are good, I am thinking of asking him if he will do the next level of Silent Hill II with me to-night.

*just hugs* Good for you, for arguing your point even when she was making it very hard for you.

*snugs*

Oh, I understand those squicky periods all too well. But I think that whenever I tried to objectively listen to what was going on under that, it did probably mean that I needed my appointment. Hang in there.

Also, Cecilia post didn't make it up last night, but I will wrap my brain around being evil & angry today. -_^

Good on you for speaking your mind with the Anthro prof!

I ended up skipping, although I was honest with her about why I skipped. >_>

Yay!

...wait, she's an anthropologist and thinks that a) it's possible to know for sure how a society other than one's own sees itself, and b) it makes a difference how egalitarian they *thought* they were - when let's face it, nearly everyone thinks they're being fair to other people (and it's those bastard whoevers who don't appreciate that). Human nature, innit...

[identity profile] rainbowjehan.livejournal.com 2010-03-17 01:30 pm (UTC)(link)
...yes. I really don't like her.

Well ARGH. *hugs you up*
