Re: The Rant and Ramble Thread
To Dad:
Sorry I disappointed you. You didn't say you were disappointed in me, but I can feel it. You asked, and I said no. That has been the pattern lately hasn't it? You ask me something and I'll come up with that same answer. It's not that I don't care - I do, but I doubt that they will, so I figure...what's the point? They won't notice it, but I know you will. I'm sorry dad. I can't promise that I'll be better, but you did ask me to try. I can't try now, maybe in the future. Nothing is worse than to have someone you love be disappointed in you. So please don't be.
To W:
I have the biggest crush on you. Never mind that you're my professor. There's something about you...something so intriguing that I can't put my finger on. At the exam hall you walked around and asked random students if everything's alright. (You must've seen the horror looks on our faces!) You walked up to me and all I could do was give you a big goofy smile. What a fool. I wanted to kick myself. That black stripped shirt you wore, it looked amazing on you. I couldn't stop staring. You've probably had students crushing on you all the time, I wonder if you notice any of them? But this thing, it's just a crush right?..that's what I'm telling myself anyway. But don't worry, I won't do anything that could jeopardize your career, personal life and my own future. I'm not that stupid. Thank god I won't be seeing you till next semester. Out of sight, out of mind. I hope.
To my brother:
You're one of the smartest person I know, though I won't admit it. Why do you keep saying that you can't do it and that it'd be better if you just give up trying? Why on earth would you say that and how could you even THINK that? Good god, you're a freaking genious! Why would you doubt yourself, you've gotten this far and now you want to throw it all away because you can't cope? You're not alone. I've been there, and so have a billion other people. You're stressed and you feel like you can't do it no matter how hard you try, so why not just give up right? That's the easy way out. Well Ken, only losers give up. You're my brother and no brother of mine is a loser. The problem with you is that you don't just want to be the best, you want to be better. If you keep up with that mentality and you push yourself too hard, you'll suffer a break down. I've seen it happen. Just give it your best shot, and knowing you you'll get perfect grades like you always do. You're on the dean's list, have always been from the start, so please stop worrying that you'll fall off it. You won't, and you know that. You'll do great, I believe in you. But why would you listen to me? I'm just your little sister right?

You swallowed my post and I had to re-type this thing again! PS: Sorry it's so long. I just had to get it out.
