[Overheard Snatches]
:
"I like lit... but I really regret it. Like, I just really regret.":
"Yeah... I like lit too. Can you imagine I'm taking Shakespeare AND British texts?? Like, can you imagine!"Quit the bloody course, then, idiots. Dispassionate people like you can just slug off to other ... disciplines that's more forgiving of whining.
I Like Lit, But I Really Regret It. I mean, what kind of statement is that? It means you like the
idea of lit, but not really lit-lit.
That's also similar to saying,
I like falling in love, but I really regret it.
And,
Shakespeare AND British texts? Please. That's not even the typical workload of a Literature student.
"Lit makes you think, I suppose... And I love to think! Can you imagine, what is worse than not thinking?? *groans*"Seriously. Literature excites me as much as it depresses me. I am sick of people saying "
I LIKE LIT" without really knowing what they are talking about. For example,
"I LIKE LIT, but I hate reading!" -- Ahem. Where's the logic? Also,
"I LIKE LIT! but it's so 1. cheem 2. impractical 3. job prospect-less, so, don't want lah."Yah. Slug off, seriously. A person who thoroughly abhors literature is held in higher opinion than these half-baked losers.
BAH!
