The problem with higher education is that it seldom truly is "higher" nowadays. The result of this is that teachers must teach to the lowest common denominator in the class. Surely there was one person there who felt that it was 2 hours of sheer heavenly education. And, sadly, that one person wasted everyone else's time.
There is a certain level of dissolusion that accompanied my venture into the university world. My first day at UCLA, I was so excited. "Finally! People like me! Intelligent people with whom I can discuss Don DeLillo and Shakespeare!" Turns out, just like anywhere else, the assclown percentage was depressingly high. Idiots of both sexes whose only interestes were getting high, getting drunk, getting laid, and watching sports. I don't think I ever felt so alone as I did that first month, as I waited for things to get better and nothing ever did.
And the problem is, "Is it really being an elitist if, rather than thinking you're better than most people around you, you really truly know you're better than them?" I don't

i followed the trail. you switch journals often. it's funny how xxvespertinexx is still a memory, but the passwords to half my current email accounts completely elude me.
i just downloaded and listened for the first time. somewhat undecided at this point. maybe I'm trying to ignore disappointment, but maybe I just need to listen again.
