Quick rant:
My professor told me I didn't have a deadline for my 20 page independent study. I've worked on it some, but I haven't really been stressing.
...she's changed her mind. Now I have to hand it in next Wednesday.
Niiiiice.
WOW.
That sucks, I'm sorry!
I guess my rant is kind of a silly one, but it makes me angry nonetheless. Over two months ago, a close friend and I had a falling out over some personal stuff. Basically, I sent her a stern but perfectly polite, not at all hostile, e-mail about some concerns that I had about our friendship and some behavior we were both exhibiting. It's a long story, but there were some issues that needed to be addressed, so I tried to get the ball rolling and tell her how I felt about them and that I wanted to talk things out like adults. I felt much more comfortable taking the time to sort out what exactly I wanted to say in a letter/e-mail than trying to discuss these things over the phone. Since we no longer live in the same city, can't really do this face-to-face. According to my DBF, who was also good friends with her at the time, she felt it was inappropriate for me to have sent this message and brought these things up, and she ignored my letter. Since then, we've had NO contact whatsoever, which sucks because we were pretty good friends. And it was strange too, because whenever we had issues before, she was perfectly fine talking to me one-on-one about them to sort out the problems. I don't know why this attempt yielded such different results.
Anyway, tonight I was wasting time on FBook, and I see that she's online using that application where you pick your Top 5 whatevers. I decided to make an effort to make some kind of contact, so I left her a silly comment about one of her "Top 5" and then went on my way. Two minutes later, I go back to my homepage where I had first left the comment, and in that two minutes she had actually
deleted what I said. I know, I know. Who in their right mind gets worked up about things that go on on Facebook? I was rather angry though, and felt this to be an incredibly rude and petty gesture on her part. I was going to leave a comment in the exact same place about how small I felt she was being to have done that, but screw it. This silly little Facebook incident has succeeded in eliminating all of my desire to patch up our friendship. I mean, really. What is this, middle school? I figure by this age we should be able to discuss things like the adults we claim to be.
