I'm trying to show patience towards my fellow students, but God, sometimes? It's impossible.
Most people took sociology and anthropology because the threshold of acceptance is so low, it's almost not in this realm of existence. And in the first year they're being treated with gloves of silk.
And then we get to the second year. The year on which the philosophical leg of interpretive social sciences steps in; the year on which we become the equivalent of philosophy in humanities (with the non-existing threshold, yet high expectations), on which people will ask the same question 10 times without listening to the answer (this year's question: "wait, what is essentialism?").
Which brings me to the "Shit I Didn't Said Today" corner, when I went out of the line to ask questions after the class, sighing and saying something about "well, I'll send an email", even though I was the next person to ask after waiting there for 20 minutes. Then, people "apologized" for their 6-7 minutes (PER PERSON) of mostly irrelevant questions/questions that were and are answered on the instructions we were given. Unbelievable. We truly deserve the attention we're getting as idiots sometimes. So to their apologizes about not paying any attention to what we're studying and hence delay the entire class by returning constantly to the "no, we're assuming there's some kind of social construction here of reality" on it's most basic level, I replied with "oh, it's fine". What I meant to say was "oh, it's fine. It's not you - it's the construction of the concept of time and the use in it in modern Western society".
And they thought that my mild reaction was bitchy and out of line. Seriously? You hardly bother to read a single paper, and then expect the material to be chewed specifically for you, you unique, innocent, fragile snowflakes?
I'm actually furious about it.
