A teacher of mine had this noble idea of giving my classmates a boost in their zest(or rather, lack of) for studying. She spent an entire hour lecturing us.. but touched(stamped?) on some issues that are sensitive to a few of us. She asked us to imagine losing our parents. Asked what would happen if either of our parents ever passed away.
Had a classmate who is going through some horrifying pain, pretty similar to the one I went through before, except that I had a much tighter reign over my emotions then as compared to her. Probably because people showed pity towards her, whereas people just avoided me. Needless to say, that very very untimely lecture on losing parents struck a chord in her..
A lil' insensitive on the teacher's part as she knows a bit about me, but considering I was reactionless towards everything she said, I can't blame her for going on. She didn't know about another student who was going through it today.. she thought her speech was so effective it evoked tears. *RIGHT* Who cares about studies when you're fighting for a life?
But yeah, I've realised lately that I've got to start working dog hard, however tough that may be these days. I need a place in the uni!
That aside, a teacher said that drowning a rat is a humane way of killing it. I disagreed. You suffer when you drown, no? I suggested chopping its head off. =) Life has ended before you realised it. If you stab the heart the brain may have time to register some pain before death. If you severe the brain from the heart, instant death! =D
Then again, what do I know. I'm an Arts student. Lol.
God bless,
Jo
