Lecture Talkers, Sinus Infections, and, of course, Valentine's Day

Okay this will be short. I've probably complained about them before, but I must again reiterate how annoying people who decide to voice their opinion in a lecture are. Seriously? This isn't high school. Your opinion is not needed or valued. So next time you're sitting in a lecture and feel the need to voice your opinion on the topic of the day, don't. If you choose to ignore this advice, I hope someone throws a pen at you.

Next topic: sinus infections. Is there a more useless illness? It's not contagious, so you still have to go to class, but nothing makes you feel better. All I've wanted to do all week is lay in bed with my saline nasal spray and sleep. Because that is the only activity that is remotely bearable. The worst part is that doctors refuse to give you antibiotics until you've had the infection for at least ten days...so what they're really saying is this: you have to be suicidal and unable to function for almost two weeks until we'll help you. Enjoy. I won't be at ten days until Monday. I might not survive. Sinus infections suck, and they have no purpose. The are around simply to make people want to die. I just hope I don't act on that desire. (I'm being facetious if anyone was overly worried about those comments).

And Valentine's day: a terrifying prospect for anyone living in an industrialized country. You have one of two choices. 1) Be lonely, depressed, and mildly suicidal while making fun of all the couples even though really you're jealous of them. It sucks. I know. I've been doing it for 19 years. 2) Being in a relationship. The idea of this fills me with more dread than I can explain in words. First of all, I spend enough time worrying about my own life. Second, on Valentine's Day, you not only have to worry about your partner's life, but you're also expected to make them happy with presents and attention. My first question is this: why do we have to designate a day to tell people we love them? Shouldn't we do that every day? And then you're expected to spend unnecessarily large amounts of money on things that no one really needs. Valentine's day is a ridiculous holiday and a waste of time and money. So I say we boycott it. Enough said.

Fist pump!
