Adrift in a sea of douche-baggery...
[After discussing this with the others, we decided that this post would be better spread over two or three sections, instead of one giant post. So, enjoy part one now, and look for part(s) 2 (and three) in the near future]
A brief disclaimer:
I’ll go ahead and say it—I’m pretty much a complete asshole. A lot of the things I think about people are solely attributable to the fact that I am pessimistic and mean. Now on with the show…
I am in awe of the plethora of complete and total idiots in this supposed institution of higher learning. Furthermore, this is no mere undergraduate collegiate assembly we are part of. This is Law School, which is purported to house the smartest of the smart students. If the above is true, then in reality, I must be in a mental institution strapped to a bed and heavily medicated for psychotic delusions in an unsuccessful attempt to dissuade this horrible alternate reality. Truly, I would almost rather this all be in my head, because then the pain I feel every time some of these people speak would be imaginary as well, and maybe the drugs will work some day… Alas, this is not the case and my reality is indeed the reality.
Please find attached a list of general complaints regarding the asinine comments and general stupidity of aforementioned classmates:
There is one guy who always has to comment on the class discussion, but who is never right, and only in two particular classes. He will one day be the world’s be defense attorney (in his mind). In reality, he will be the world’s be used car salesman. What baffles me is that in two of our classes, you simply cannot get him to shut up. He will talk over and continually interrupt people who are presenting assigned work. Again—he is never right. If called on in the other two classes, however, he is completely lost, blatantly looking at his neighbor’s computers trying to find the answer. They offer him no help. He is always at least 5 minutes late to class—every class—but that will be discussed in another post. His views are often based on misreadings of the text and complete misapplication of law, but he will do whatever it takes to get you in this car today.
Another person whose physical proximity and classroom contributions metaphorically chap me in unfortunate areas is, as another student politely put it, “a pompous asshole.” I have recently relaxed my intense dislike for this person as I have come to find that his ridiculous comments in class and general absurd nature are attributable to a complete lack of any sort of social awareness or understanding whatsoever. Where I once found disdain I now find comic relief. I have his hand-raise perfected to the highest art of imitation. I am (as he would certainly tell you) a better person for knowing him, but will never be able to achieve his greatness. I thank God every night before I go to bed that he gifted this classmate his incredible knowledge which he imparts to me on a daily basis. Were it not for this student, I would most certainly fail out of Law School—he is the one thing keeping me answering correctly.
