Because I'm me and refuse to be anything but. I study English at
university because it's my passion to work with language and learning, and
fascinatingly enough university provides so many different situations for
Bitchiness to surface.
For instance when a classmate of mine who works hard (respect for that) but
gets fairly low grades nonetheless, expressed that she almost despised people
who get good grades, "they don't even work for it" she said. I told her just
what I thought of that view, especially since I'm one of those who get good
grades, but like hell if get them by sleeping all day! She immediately
back-pedaled and started listing redeeming traits in people, but the battle was
lost, she and I will never get along again - I do not tolerate people who cannot
accept that some people are better than them at certain disciplines, and
especially not when they get hypocritical about it. As if getting good grades
means that you're breezing through. Pshaw!
Additionally I figure I shall have to try my hand at politics now, because
the student council at our university is breaking every code of conduct and
every legality there is concerning councils. I cannot remember a single point of
the 'council legislation' in Denmark that they haven't broken or at least
skirted. And to think people don't care because "it doesn't detract from their
studies", maybe not, but the money they have mandates to spend could be spent on
better things - I will not stand by and watch that happen.
And if there's one thing I can't stand it's people who complain about not
having enough money. In Denmark we have the highest financial support for
education in the world(as far as I'm aware) and while keeping up with my studies
I teach classes twice a week, sing in a choir, and clean my folks' house to earn
extra money, and I just recently managed to pay off all my debts. With this
background firmly settled in my consciousness I have all the confidence I need
to react very harshly next time a chain-smoker, who blows immense amounts of
money on parties every week, complains that she has no money. Get cheaper
hobbies or work more - like the rest of us do when we want more than we have.
And as long as you make more per month than I do and still can't make ends meet,
do NOT complain to me, because I will NOT be sympathetic.
