Peeves the Poltergeist

I'm trying really hard to be loving, but it's hard. My biggest pet peeve is when people don't care, when they think it's "too hard," when they don't want to learn something new. When they don't even try. So, suffice it to say, this week (although it's only Tuesday) has been a difficult one for me.

I really want to just say "look, I know you have it rough, we all do, but you stop being such a baby!" What I want to do is tell them to shut up and just learn something! But I can't. First off, that would be rude and un-Jesus-like. Secondly, that would be judging them and I have no place to do that.

I thanked God this morning for having my professor say exactly what I wanted to. Still, it only made them complain more. I'm begging the Lord for patience and grace and love. It's weeks like this that I cannot wait for college....to be around people who are there because they want to and are learning about things they love...ah I can't wait!

What really bugs me, is when people are sooo apathetic that they intentionally dumb themselves down. Sigh....and then get judge me for being enthusiastic. I'm not a suck-up....I just really like to learn....and I want to get as much as I can out of school. I don't go to see friends (if I did I would be homeschooled) I go because I love learning and reading and trying new things out and seeing how much I can accomplish. If you don't care....leave. I know if they were given that ultimatum, they wouldn't take it. I don't see how you can talk about how badly you want to get into an ivy-league university but complain about writing a simple in-class essay or talk about skipping class all day long. It frustrates me.

No I'm not perfect....but I care. And I know you do too....which is why I'm so upset.
