Everything will fall into place

Lately, I seem to have this interest in Bridge growing inside me. It did not seem so bad even though I was going to SCBA every week, but when I noticed that I was spending my two-hour chemistry tutorial learning about take-out doubles, it became apparent to me that I might be spending a little too much time on it. Not to forget that the promos are coming soon.

The teacher's day celebration was not really to my liking. The video that the Film Society did was funny, the street dancers were good and the singing by various people was entertaining. However, very thing else was pretty dry. In fact, I cannot even list them because I do not remember what they were. There is a chance that those 3 forementioned items where the only parts of the performance, since the whole thing was so short. In that case, the teacher's day celebration was good. Other wise, I have to give everything else gets a point for effort. A nice big point with stars on it.

Perhaps I would have enjoyed that celebration a little more if I was not so distracted by the two people sitting in front of me. Apparently, humoring people when they are teasing you no longer discourages them from continuing. Now, it just gives them more ammunition to mess around with you. And get other people to join in. Don't forget the other people, more people more fun! In my defense, how am I to know that when I take the first first-name that comes to my mind and combine it with the first last-name, I would end up with a real name? I really hope that my class (and Kenneth's class) do not think that I am really attached. Not only will that affect me, I would also have ruined her reputation a little. Okay I shall stop trying to sound politically correct. I do not care about what happens to her as long as I am safe. Ah, that felt good.

One thing about me is that I get random philosophical thoughts sometimes. When I do, I would try to start a discussion with the person beside me, just like how RI has trained me to do. Look what we have traded for Home Economics. We get to be totally boring people! Anyway, most of these discussions ends up with my idea being owned, thanks to Socrates' questioning methods. Tired of being unable to justify my point, I have decided to lay off thinking. If I know nothing, my life would be so blissful. Would you rather know that you have a choice and have to make an important decision, or would you be happier being tricked into thinking that there is only one route and that you can possibly take and that the outcome is uncontrollable?

E is for embarrassment. When experiencing this emotion, one might feel like killing himself or running away and hiding under a rock for eternity. Luckily, this is a short term emotion and is unlikely to last for more than a couple of minutes. You might feel embarrassed when you know that everyone is laughing at your failure, or if the two people sitting in front of you during teacher's day celebration starts teasing you in front of your class. It can be said that embarrassment is the feeling of being vulnerable in front of someone. This temporary loss of dignity might develop into other negative emotions, such as anger against the person that embarrassed you.
