bitchy rant.. -.-"

So, I have been working eight days straight. It’s not a strenuous job but still there is bound to be a feeling of lethargy and such. As if that’s not enough, I had a skin reaction but the odd thing is that it is only on the palm of my hands. White bumpy spots beneath the skin and when aggravated, it itches like hell. It’s been almost one week and I have not really recovered from it. I can still see the bumps on my hand although the itch is not that severe anymore. I have no idea what the hell caused it to happen. Could have been the soap, could have been the bloody grease trap that I have been forced to do for about 6 days. Heck, my left thumb does not feel the same anymore. Scary if this does not go away. I’m a little worried; my palms are dry and rough. My job really does make my hand rough and dry especially since I’m not the type of girl that applies lotion and what not on my hands so yeah, I guess this goes to show that I’m not the type of girl that sits at home and does nothing.

The past week –it has dragged on to this week as well – I have been drifting in and out of sleep when I’m not working, bathing or eating. It is as if I find it hard to keep awake. I’ll just like drift to sleep for an hour or two, be conscious for about two hours or so and I’ll drift back to sleep. I wonder if I’m really that lethargic or something. It’s a study week but I have not studied at all during that week due to work every day and the whole drifting in and out of sleep. Even up to now, it’s nightmarish to revise for English Literature.

Don’t even get me started on how hard it is because if you think all I have to do is just read the work given in the paper and just write out what I think it means then you are damn stupid and ignorant. Nothing is ever easy. Don’t think that someone taking English as a degree is easy while someone taking a science related degree is hard. That is just biased and downright dumb. That’s right. If you’re one of those people who really think that way, you’re stupid and shallow. I’m going to rub it in your face because I’ve had enough of people who “look down” at students taking “art” related subjects instead of science related subjects.

If you think those taking engineering, medicine, biomedic and stuff like that are really clever; let them take our “easy” subject (a.k.a. subjects for stupid people whose brain cannot seem to differentiate between cerebellum and lymph nodes, calculus and statistics, paracetamol and amphetamine, etc.). I’d like to see how they can breeze through it since they are so smart and we’re so stupid. I’ve had it with all these bias views that I’m so sick of it I want to shout at them and let them have a taste of how bitter it can be.

I take pride in the course I chose. It cannot be denied that we use language everyday and this course is focusing on one particular language and how that language came to be, the usage and the structure of it. Without it, we might as well all be saying “blah blah blah” to each other. There is so much more to a language than what it seems at the surface. According to the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, the world we live in is influenced by the language we use and not vice versa. Ha! If you do not read extensively, do you think you science people would know that? Heck, even I have to learn psycholinguistics which has got something to do with human brain and the parts of the brain that gives rise to language acquisition and such. Yes, I have to know the parts of brain as well so there you have it! English, easy? I think not!

Ok, on a less bitchy note, I was surprised that one of my junior from secondary school actually called me tonight and the weird thing was we weren’t very close in school but we did talk. We’re not the whole “you know my stuff, I know yours” kinda best buddies but we still get along just fine. So we were talking for fifteen minutes and he wanted to ask me to go to some business preview tomorrow night but I declined since “I’m not a sociable person” and yeah, I have papers the next day which is English Literature (*insert curse words here, please.). I was glad that we had this small talk. I rarely have people calling me on my phone and just talk. It seems that that’s not what phones are for and when I say phones I’m referring to cell phones since now, it’s more like a text messaging kinda world.
