Complaints

If you're not interested in reading complaints don't read this.

1. New Brunswick
I hate it. I like Rutgers, my classmates, and my apartment but I hate this "city." The one coffee shop just closed. The only bookstore is the college bookstore. The restaurants are overpriced. It's just an incredibly boring town.
2. Classes
My classes are ok but at the same time are totally pointless. I read boring articles and write boring response papers. I sometimes make up shit just so I'll have something to say. I have to read the following articles for tomorrow:
A Flexible Interface Design for Web Directories to Accommodate Different Cognitive and Investigating the Roles of Knowledge and Cognitive Abilities in Older Adult Information
Note that these have nothing to do with my project.
I have written 9 papers for one of my professors and have not received an response. Now I have to write a seminar paper for him. This is very annoying.
3. Haters
I'm on (yet another) dating website and someone sent me this lovely note:

Your cute and all and no offense but bald women remind me of men. If you had cancer or something then i could understand. You should let your hair grow. I know that's your style and what not. But try to think about it like this. If i was a neurotic person and i now that the majority of women don't like neurotic men, for the sake of finding someone i would either mask that part of my behavior or just wait until i find someone who would except me for me. the latter sounds wonderful and almost magical. but have you ever seen and old single lady with no kids who's miserable and works at a library. i have

update omg i just read your profile in order to see if you where Afrocentric in an effort to pass your question filter and noticed you where a librarian.


There are so many things wrong with this:
a. I'm not bald
b. I won't date you even if I grow my hair
c. I won't be a different person for you
d. There are many happily married librarians
e. Is having a short natural not "Afrocentric?"
f. You wrote me BEFORE reading my profile

Actually my main beef with this is that he bothered to write it in the first place. I know he's an idiot and a tool but jeez. Do other people get this kind of stuff? I love how men always think they are the first person to ever give you advice. I could say more but it's pointless. If you don't like my hair, I can't help you.

4. The Book
I'm just...stuck. I'm now on the most important chapter and it's freaking me out.

5. Pundits
Just shut up about the Obama team. The man's not even sworn in yet. We'll see what happens. And you guys keep being wrong about The Clintons (TM) so why don't you just wait and see what happens.

6. Men in General
Last summer my friend S.P. told me the following: "You know, Emily, men are human beings too." I still have to remind myself of this. Over and over again. (See number 3 and I'm sure many other posts).

7. The Entertainment Industry
My friend N. is one of the most talented people I know but her industry sucks. She gets rave reviews in everything she does but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't understand this. Yes, I know life isn't fair, etc.

Other than that my Thanksgiving was excellent. And you should go to Co Co. Sala in DC. Delicious.
