A temporary idyll amid emptying classrooms

[edg]

It probably does not bode well
that the predominant feeling
that I get from my classmates
is that they would prefer
that I not be
there.

Talking about Poetry? I think people are just thrown that you have something to say. You look like the quiet type, and then you speak [!], and it's usually something no one's thought of yet. They're just digesting your words.

Anyway, I like you there. =]

Thank you for the vote of confidence. :)

It's not just Poetry, actually - I get this vibe from almost all of my classes. I have a feeling that you might have hit close with your assessment, though; I think this vibe comes from knowing more than I'm Supposed To, if that makes any sense. The Classical Studies majors have a little clique in Words & Works to which I'm not invited, and everybody else seems hostile, possibly because I'm a "rogue" Classical Studies major; I feel like the only people who really don't have a problem with my being in Reading Latin are the first-years; and I'm apparently too talkative in Intro to American History.

The only class I don't get this vibe from is American Political Thought, and that's almost certainly because it's 90% lecture.

Anyway. Thanks again. :)

Cliques have one major word: baa-aaa.

Y'know, being a 'rogue' isn't a bad thing. My friends and I were our own group that played euchre (including the shouting, and my personal... 'best' of shouting FUCK really loudly at a bad play then wanting to sink through the floor) throughout our lunch hour(s) and spurned dressing like slobs. (It was a Catholic high school, which meant uniform. Most students would break the dress code whereas we didn't bother to.) The weirdest part? Something like three years later, a random student at Guelph stopped me on one of the walkways and asked if I went to STM. He apparently remembered me. o.O;

Be a rogue! Walk your own path, and people will likely respect you for it. :)

And then you can sneak past people and backstab them!

...wait, wrong kind of rogue. Don't mind me.

(But you get such cool class abilities!)

I'm totally tempted to make you a ROGUE CLASSICS MAJOR t-shirt.

Pee.Ess. I loved your shirt today. LOVED. Adored. Still do. Present tense.

I should wear my Horde shirt next Tuesday... ^^;

I would totally wear it if you did. ;)

Thank you! It's a Websnark (http://www.websnark.com) shirt. I'm glad you like it. ^_^

(And yes, you should!)
