don't forget your pink highlighter.

just one question today: why does it seem that returning students [otherwise known as the adults dispersed throughout classes that don't fit in] feel the need to not only ask question after question, answer everything thrown at the class, but also take notes on things that aren't neccessary [ie a useless video on language], complete with highlighted sections. no one else in the class is moving even slightly in this direction because it is just not needed.

it's a movie. we're watching it to pass time. there will be no quiz, no paper to write, no questions at all to answer about it. it is not fascinating enough to just write down random facts.

we're all learning here. we're on the same level, i'm in the same class. you don't have to prove to me that you're older and thus more responsible in taking notes or something. it is completely unneccessary to pull out the highlighter everytime the professor speaks.

to be more precise, i think i'm smarter in the fact that i am not wasting my time. i smile at you wasting yours. i hope the lead in your pencil breaks and that the ink in your damn pink highlighter runs out.

chill out all you adult students.
