Procrastination
It seems that the more work I have to do, the more time I suddenly have for my dear blog. Which one might argue is not necessarily a very good thing. Or one would not have to argue that, because it also means that I'm not getting any work done and procrastinating more and more.
Today, instead of going to my pilates class, I spent two hours, sitting 'having coffee' with Brian and P'Pice... it's nice to have someone to speak Thai to. Besides, she's a funny little creature...
We spent all that time making fun on Brian for being so red... hehe... that came out of our previous, more heavy discussion on racism.
My drama tutorial was, once again, a complete waste of time... other than the fact that today we, as a class, confronted the tutor and kind of told her that we thought that she was full of shit (in not so harsh words, and expressing it in terms of 'the course', as opposed to her, personally - but I'm sure she kind of got the point, judging from the expression on her face by the end of class).
What shocks me is that I haven't actually read the Mahabarata, but my tutor seems to be turning to me to explain things to the class, which really shouldn't be the case. She doesn't know shit, and it seems that in this and the previous class, I'm explaining the concept of dharma and karma to the class whilst my tutor looks lost. This class, she actually says to me "I'm glad you're here to explain this to the class"...
WHAT??! Isn't she supposed to be the knowledgeable one here?? She's read the text and I have not!
I guess it's just because I've always had a lot of Indian friends and I must have sort of absorbed some culture from them... not to mention that I am buddhist and therefore don't need to study the concept of dharma and karma... But what the hell is so difficult about it?!
Ok.. enough ranting. Time to do linguistics assignment already...
