Jeezus CHRIST. I wish to hell I'd skipped class today. We got divided into groups and as luck would have it, in my group were the two people I like least in the whole class. Cari is about ten years younger than me, a post-bach and a high school English teacher who is a hard-headed, supercilious, thinks she knows everything, talks down anybody else's ideas and loves the sound of her own voice. Veronica, I think her name is, is a kid right out of high school who is also outspoken in her opinions but doesn't know shit. The remaining two people in the group, Emily and myself, were essentially shut out of any discussion.So, whether this is good or bad, this is what I'm like. I said fuckit, withdrew, and let them go about their business with their high-falutin' discussions. Screw my participation grade. I just sat there and reread passages of my book. Emily actually left.It's not like we didn't try to enter into the conversation, we were just disregarded and shot down each time. See, people like Cari and Veronica, fucking know-it-alls, make me hate English classes.

I'm the same way. If there's no sense fighting something...why fight it?
Goooooood golly I hate it when they divide you up into little groups. Completely worthless as a learning experience. There are too many Cari's in the world who totally screw it for others. Sometimes it's better to just keep your mouth shut and let them fall flat on their stuck-up little noses...
