friezaessSo tomorrow is my last day of uni which means... weeks and weeks of stressing while lecturers take their sweet time marking everyone's shit. I've been getting 6's and 7's lately, so I'm hopeful. With any luck, I'll graduate in November and use my epic journalism degree to work at Queensland Newspapers... outside turning tricks for rent money.
I probably should've made more friends than I have. I tend to not connect with people very well. When I was a kid, a group of older boys used to hunt me down and give me vicious beatings in the schoolyard on a regular basis. (Teachers told me I'd get in trouble if I fought back, lawl). I tend to think of that as the point where my ability to relate to people became somewhat hampered. That plus I have a low tolerance for ego maniacal people and those that just do not shut up about themselves. Many people aren't bothered by this because they've adapted, but people those sort of one-sided conversations bore me to tears. Lots of those types in journalism, and not the ones you can get a story out of either!
Dad's playing 60's music and I'm not sure if he realises it comprises entirely of stoner ballads.

Date: 2010-06-20 09:18 am (UTC)Trust is terribly hard to manage, but due to my floggings, accompanied by the standard bullying like what you mentioned, I find it hard to believe that anyone could legitimately like me as a person and thus chicken out of potential friendships. Funny how those things tend to follow you in life.
