What have I been doing all my life?
 I have been very upset with the curriculum this semester. Well, mainly the lecturers because they seemed to full of (sh)it. I have this lecturer for my Chinese Literature module who basically treats us like we are low IQ morons who know nothing about Chinese language or the cultural aspect of our heritage. It's infuriating because every time he speaks, he sounds as if he is talking down to us. He would keep referring back to us as "young people" and then comment about how we wouldn't know because we are so young. That angered me the most. Because he treats someone by their age and not by who they are or what they have. I know people who are older than me who are the most insensitive idiots whom you might assume by their age that they should already know how to act their age. I had also discovered individuals that are smarter and wiser and stronger than what you would expect from their age or looks or experiences. You simply CANNOT assume because you are not mind reader, nor have you the rights to impose your assumptions as labels on other. There was also my Video Production lecturer who was telling us how he would have tea or coffee before lesson everyday because he is always about half an hour early. Then he suggest we do so but we would probably drink orange juice. And I'm sitting there with the most judgmental-puzzled eyes staring back at him. We are going to be legal for purchasing alcohol this year, what do you mean by we would probably be drinking orange juice? Since when is there a limit for coffee or tea? Are we unable to drink coffee or tea, is it illegal to do so? Seriously, shit adults say makes me want to bang my head onto a brick wall. Well other than that, my Chinese Literature teacher also teaches things that are completely google-able. Which makes his lesson almost 95% redundant. I thought you are suppose to decipher everything in the passage, from the words down to the punctuation. Why does my literature teacher have such vast different understanding of literature as I do? Oh right, he also said that poets are the most sensitive people and to support his point, he compared them to novelist. He obviously haven't read a lot of novels or poems to hastily come up with such a remark. Nor had he viewed the various and multiple art forms there are in the universe to see for himself who are the most sensitive people. Because when I pointed out to him that ALL artists are sensitive people, he decided to focus purely on poets and novelists. As if there is no other form of medium to release feelings and emotions through art. I couldn't roll my eyes harder. I take a lot of shit because when it comes to condescending adults, it is just not what I live for. Labels: i hate people, poly, school is killing me |
