No, I am not talking about my weight. Gawd, it really bothers me how one of my friends constantly tells me that she is fat when in reality, she isn't. This would be the moment where I would crack a joke - she isn't fat, but she is pleasantly plump! But in fact, she's as slender as me (thin is a four letter word. some four-letter words do not belong in my world.) That's one reason that I don't have many friends that I can drag with me to Waterworld tomorrow. My friends either are too afraid of their body "fat". Others are afraid that their skin would be too pale. But there are some people with valid reasons. Simply put, "I don't have a ride!" That's right, I won't give you a ride. My sister doesn't want me driving, but then I don't want her driving either.
Rather, I felt like someone was pounding me in the stomach today. Yeah, I felt a little sick in the morning.
Omg, but check this article out. This system is pretty screwed up. It's absolutely no wonder that my astrobiology professor is charging me with "cheating" on a take-home. However, I must admit that I was pretty ignorant of the fact that it was "highly recommended" that I not work with fellow classmates. I'll claim ignorance then. I just don't want my hope of majoring in computer science (a hard major to get into) slip away.
Unfortunately (and fortunately), I am discovering that I am questioning whether my twisted actions were really valid. Do I really need to fall back into comformity? Do I really need to be like everyone else? And yet, being "normal" makes life seem brighter.
That sweetest thing...
