It is a bad sign...

...when you snap a pencil in a lecture, then have to hold your breath until you feel dizzy to keep from shouting at the lecturer in frustration and rage, yes?

Yeah, I thought so too.

I don't think I'm cut out for the study of literature. In any language. Particularly when the lecturer sounds more like he's giving a paper than talking to a class.

And he seems to think that poetry being 'divorced from logic' is a good thing.

Ambiguous I can get behind. 'Beyond logic' tends to equal WTF?

I don't understand the view of something that's - for all practical purposes - damn nigh incomprehensible as somehow good or more worthwhile than something that's accessible. Incomprehensible is intellectually lazy, elitist and insufferably damned pretentious (for 'damned' read other, stronger expletives that I will not start saying because then I'd find it hard to stop).

I will not starting hitting things and screaming, alright? I mean, I'm beyond that. Really.

Venting finished. Completement fini. I'm going to go and work on safe boring grammar now.

Why is everyone still looking at me funny?
