I wake up and actually go to my Theatre History II class today and I am reminded of why I HATE going to that class.

A friend of mine describes it as "People discussing topical issues without any knowledge of the issues themselves." This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine. If you do not know what you are talking about then SHUT YOUR MOUTH! I mean it! It takes A LOT for a person to admit that they know nothing about a topic and not speak. Especially, in this day and age. Maybe it's just me but I'd prefer not to open my mouth and accept that I don't know something about an isssue and then go inform myself about the issue before I open my mouth and sound like a complete idiot.

Example: Today in class a fellow student of mine decided to make the gross generalization that "It is the school systems fault for students bad attitudes." I am sorry hold on ten seconds.

My mom who has been a teacher for over 30 years would highly be offended by this statement. (Which pissed me off to begin with...)

Just because you complain that teachers treat you differently doesn't mean all teachers treat you like that. It is your OWN attitude that gets you into trouble. So YOU better cope with it and not bitch and complain. Your life is so hard because you didn't get an A but that football player did because he plays football??? Well, WAKE UP that is the real world. People get treated differently. I don't agree with the different treat of others but I sure as hell can accept it. It is a reality that isn't going to change anytime soon. The only thing YOU can do about it is recognize it and then not do it yourself.

I know I just completely ranted the hell out of that but I got really ticked off at 9am and that will probably ruin the rest of my day. I will try my best not to allow it to do so, but I can't make any promises.

People who cannot/will not allow themselves to rise above their circumstances really piss me off. Stop complaining and DO something. You don't have the right to complain unless you have DONE something about it. Until you have failed SHUT UP and even then get over it.

I also hate when people just spout off knowledge in class.

Example: We were discussing Dr.Faustus and someone just had to talk about DANTE. I am sorry but we are discussing Marlowe not Dante. It wouldn't have bothered me that much but the class was becoming a religious discussion and I couldn't help but raise my hand and point out that the Inferno was a POLITICAL SATIRE. It isn't the end all be all of where you go when you die!

Religion in general today is kind of pissing my off. I do not pay to come to school to discuss it so keep your mouth shut.

**NOTE!!!**
So after I wrote this entire post I went to my World Theatre Studies class at 1pm. We were watching Hedda Gabler and I stated my opinion of why I think she kills herself. Which is clearly supported by a comment Hedda makes about herself.

I said that she couldn't survive in this world because she was brought up only by her father and surrounded by men her whole life. Not allowing her to truly act like a woman and be accepted by women of the time period. Yet, men of the time period could only admire her because in that age she was essetnially property. She was liked her for great beauty. I don't know how many TIMES Ibsen talks about how beautiful she is in that play. ANYWAY apparently I said the wrong thing and I was DEAD wrong and 3 idiotic guys in my class were like no she just couldn't survive. They kept saying it had nothing to do about sex.

I'm sorry isn't Ibsen known for his revolutionary feminists concepts, i.e. A Doll's House. IDK maybe it's just me being to stupid to read a great work??

Anyway, I could care less that the 3 of them didn't agree with my opinion (everyone else did and most importantly I did ). But the thing that reall grinds my gears is that I raised me hand in that class to wait my turn to speak. Held it up for about 3 minutes. Politely, waited my turn to speak and as soon as I opened my mouth I was verbally assaulted. Plus, I was even allowed to finish my point. People who don't RESPECT a person's opinion really really really PISS me off.
