Working out and Missy Higgins to the rescue

I must say today did not turn out all that well, got an 89 on my first math test which is not bad but when I deserved a 95 its kinda bullshit. This tiny little russian man, who not only does not understand basic enlgish but also disagrees with the text book he chose for the class, has the gall to try and argue the meaning of specific wording of his grading rubric. Basically he has this little sheet of paper that says what he looked for in each question and apparently he didnt mean anything close to what was written but he tried to tell me thats what it said and then explain things to me that im 99% certain I should be explaining to him. I may not be the master of word meanings that Clinton is, but by god no one who can't properly conjugate a verb in english or use pronouns properly on a semi regular basis should be telling me what something says. What ever if there is kharma he'll be deported on some very minor technicallity in the writing and if there isn't well screw him. On top of this I was frustrated to find that I had forgotten to pack a book I needed to use through out the day to complete homework for a class in the afternoon, no I wasnt slacking its some reading that we discuss and its much easier to discuss if I read it that same morning, and after some consideration of driving home I decided to screw it and just get on with the day. So the only thing that saves my day was the gym even though I hadn't eaten enough and couldnt do some of my usual things at full intensity it was good for me and the perfect Missy Higgins song came on when I got into the car, Warm Whispers. So humanity owes Missy for this one:
Humanity:3
Evil:0

I've started to realize that I hate people, most of the people I hate anyways, on an intellectual level not an emotional one. Most of the people I hate are probably good people who mean well, but in the class room some one needs to either cut out their vocal chords or thoroughly lobotomize them because frankly enough is enough, everyone makes mistakes and misses the obvious from time to time no one is perfect, but come on this is college for christ sake. I don't think by any means I'm perfect or that im better on the whole than many people, but one of gifts happens to be my intellect and sometimes its insulting on a purely intellectual level the things these people say. Now I may sound arrogant but heres the thing, I am musically challenged, I dont know why I just am, and because of that I stay clear of advanced band courses and the like. I'm not a big built guy so I don't try to powerlift at the gym. Some things we just arent supposed to do, like take the higher level enlgish courses. I don't care what the placement test said, your not fit to be in this class and you should realize that fairly quickly. The point is though that out of the class room I can be friendly and cordial with these people, I can't say that I call any one that I view this way a friend but there is no animosity outside the class room. But please I like school, I like debating, don't ruin it with your babble, your racism, your xenophobia, your sexism, or your down right stupidity just don't say anything try listening for once and maybe after a few weeks you can make your first foray into the debate cautiously but succesfully. In the mean time, Shut Up.
