Talking about concentration. I'm having a schedule with 10 hours of lessons everyday and I'm still amazed with my ability to keep concentrated. But sadly my perverseness sometimes gets me to wonder of. One of my teachers talked about lubrication and my mind went somewhere completely else. Does anybody else have that problem? One of my other teachers keeps saying eunuch when he wants to say unique *The bad english of my teachers keeps me amused during those long days of class*
Normally I'm pretty good at concentrating, but the last months (especially with German) where absolutely doing nothing so my concentration went down to 0% My Science teacher always says 'Look at the diffrnce' when she holds up two bottles with strange substances (diffrnce is spelled correctly, she really says it like that )
Hm, well Mac, we're not all the same, are we? I was tested and my IQ was fine for Havo4, but they send me to vmbo-bl anyway so they must have thought it was serious, neh? But then again, i do completely agree with you, and I NEVER use it as an excuse for things I can't do or didn't do well enough. I'm also quite lazy so... (smirks) as for your little rant; WHAT? Do people plan things like that for real then? That would involve, like, actual thinking, neh? I must say that guy must have had quite an interesting imagination. (hehe) @mimi: ow, that sucks doesn't it? Sometimes you just need soem challenge to keep you at least slightly focused. @Maskelle: Yeah, man! Our teachers are all bonkers! (Like my SLB'er (studieloopbaanbegeleider) saw me bush my hair in the ladies' room, and started ranting about her childhood trauma involving brushes because her mom always hunted her with one when her hair was to wild. o_O")
@Wolfje: you got that problem too? somehow when teachers see me there's some weird click in their minds that urges them to tell me live-stories/trauma's that I didn't ask for It does help getting trough boring classes so I'm not really complaining, but it's just plain weird XD Today I found myself a new temporary obsession, rejoice people! :P The pairing Snake/Otacon (Metal Gear Solid), I found the game stuck away in a corner after the whole switching rooms thing and I finished it twice already (I have no live at all XD) and the ending with Otacon just screams yaoi :P Does anyone know a nice "bed-time story" for this crazed yaoi-fangirl? ^^
^^ be glad its just teachers with you, I have the tenancy to have people tell me their issues even when I am waiting for the train ¬¬, it has probably to do with the way you/we look. We have big signs over our head with flashing lights that says: 'dump your **** and sad stories here!' I don't mind to listen when people are friends, but total strangers??? sorry mrs. I don't give a hoot nor a ratsass about the sexual issues you have with your husband, **** off! I have enough problems with my own love life XD. and yes he thought that for real ¬¬. and that you think that some people scheme I can understand. Some people just do that, very sneakily (which isn't a real word I believe). But me, of all people O.O. I can't plan, I get way too distracted for me to finish any plan. Just look at my story writing. I plan the whole story and in the end it is completely different from what I first had in mind XD
double post, stupid server ><
@MC Denno: o.0 oh dear, i sense a little bit of frustration here.... Stories can evolve while you are writing it. Does it really matter if you stayed on your initial plan? - we, the readers, don't notice anything There hasn't been any illogical plot changes so far? Haha, and I rather find it funny that total strangers walk up to you and tell their life issues. That actually means that you have this aura of 'kindness', people apparently trust you And if it bothers you, you can just say that you are not interested in their story. Oh you never guessed what happened last week when I was taking the metro back home. A Nigerian fellow sat next to me, CLOSE next to me, I was first thinking that he wanted to rob me or something. (I live in the BIjlmer >_<) But he just wanted to look what I was reading (It was my university news paper- oh this week's topic is about asian pop culture and a picture of naruto & sasuke is on the front page! Newsletter 50 | International Institute for Asian Studies (IIAS) Well this Nigerian guy suddenly starts talking to me!! Asking me what I was reading and so on >_> It was sooo creepy at first, but eventually guess what...... He started to talk endlessly about political theory! omg.... I'm not hallucinating... Imagine that, a normal guy in a training jacket in the subway: giving full definitions of academic terms o.0 BIZAAARRRR I was not dreaming for sure, I was all flustered when I left the metro >_> Only thing that popped into my mind was: "nah, he's a bit too old, in his 40;s"
@MC Denno: lol there's probably some weird aura about us :P it'd be awkward having total stranger suddenly rant on and on with you and how the hell can you tell them to **** off in a polite way, ne? *huggels* I feel your pain :P @Link: XD that cracked me up! last line is brilliant :P reminds me of a time when I was on a train from Nijmegen to Apeldoorn when this huge dark guy suddenly started hitting on me! O.o that guy must have been at least 30 and I was 14 back then! He couldn't speak Dutch and his English was... well.... rubbish :P so pretty much the only thing he said was "You very butiful" (and yes that's spelled correctly cause that's how he said it) he pretty much freaked me out all the way to Arnhem XD
Yes I think it's almost impossible to be polite in such a situation. It might work if you just nod and smile and do not react on it. Some people take that as a hint and shut up. But a not good english speaking guy who is huge and much older trying to flirt with you that must have been scarey, Erian! I do tend to have people getting to sit right next to me in trains in busses even if there is lots of space . But they never do that when Toran is with me I did have a time when the train is full and then a woman sat next to me and we talked a lot. And suddenly she saw me wearing a ribbon. And she asked me why I wore and I said I stole it from a friend who wore it in his hair and he then managed to pass a test with a very hi grade so I wore it for luck. And then she suddenly started a whole preach that I should only believe in god. I was so glad when she finally had to get out of the train. Once I sat in a train with some people from the Jordaan *I think they sounded like that* and they were talking so loud about Dutch music like Renee froger. So I started to turn up the music on my Mp3 player but the voice of one woman just kept getting through. It was horrible. But then again me and some friends can be really enoying. Talking about Sensitive pornograph in the train does raise some heads:P
Hehe, yeah, that poor guy (or was it a woman?) Maybe next time, we should wait 'till after 12 with discussing heavy stuff like SP. (smirks) And yah, I guess I must have that sign thingy above my head as well. >_< My boss always looks at me funny becaue somehow all the weird people at work (and there are a lot) like me and want to tell their whole life story to me. Last night there ws this boy telling he how he had been sexually harassed by twice when walking home through Groningen (he looks very young and small, wile he is 18 or 19). And this other guy started telling me he divorced his wife the month before and what kind of things he liked in the dark room (No!!!!) Somehow they never tell me stuff I WANT to know. >_> Although I never get as frustrated with them as you apparently do, Mac. ^_- @Link: aw man, you really go for the brains, don't you? (and now, people will think your a zombie...) @Erian: Hee hee, well, yeah, the life stories from teachers are weird, but I feel a little honored they want to tell me. ^^" And as I said, all teachers at Maskelle and my college are bonkers...
