Important bit of knowledge of the day: Exactitude is actually a word. It is not any different from exactness, except that you can make fun of someone who says exactitude easier than someone who says exactness.

Anyway… sorry I haven’t been writing much. That whole school thing is taking up a good bit of my time. After school comes work, occasionally food, and once in a great while, friends. That whole marriage thing also requires a little bit of time, as well

See… even now that I have time, I don’t have much to say… that whole election thing is going on today, but I refuse to add any more noise to that debate, other than to say, please do not forward your political beliefs to me under the flag of friendship. A long time friend of mine sent out an email to her friends that said “hey, I hate to do this, but”… ok, first… if you hate to do it, then don’t. simple enough. the message went on to say how important it was to vote, but what it meant was how important it was to vote for Kerry. How do I know this? Well, the message was about her experiences with the democratic party, and at the bottom it had attached a letter from “John Kerry” that she had received. No one accidentally forwards a letter like that to a group of friends that have nothing to do with the first person.

Don’t get me wrong… I’m not condemning democrats… or republicans… but I am saying there is no call to send me all your ill-gotten socialist propaganda. Especially under the guise of a friendly email. If you want to send me propoganda of any kind, please label it as such. That way, I can delete it and go about my business.

I’m not against anything political, either… I mean, Brian convinced me to sign up for a congressional email thing so that I can see how people from this state vote. But he did not just go and sign me up for it, either.

You know what else pisses me off? Teachers who are too proud to admit they’re wrong. Got an assignment back today, and the instructor took off 1/2 point (out of 10) for something that I knew was right. So I asked her about it. I explained my point of view, and supporting evidence (handout she had given us)… know what she said? “Well, you have a point, but…” I hate to admit it, but at that point I knew everything else she was going to say and I cut her off and said, “but it doesn’t matter.” and that was exactly right. My point of view, while different than hers could be equally as correct, but in the end, she’s the prof, and so I get counted off for it. I really dislike that kind of blind egotism. While I would like to believe that I am not being hypocritical about this, I know there are some people who would argue that I am… To them I say, here’s the difference: I normally will admit when I’m wrong…. I’m just always right

Ok… prof is beginning to get suspicious of the fact that I’m typing more than she’s talking… gotta run…
