potatoes? tomatoes!

I am currently absorbed with doing work. Although I suffer from it (and the chronic bad canteen food), I find a bit of joy in doing stuff like that, however hard (it's giving me headaches!) it is.

Found out about something horrendous this week. Actually, most of us suffer from two things (out of a lot): prejudice and generalization. Just because a tomato is ugly doesn't mean it's rotten. Just because a tomato is rotten doesn't mean all tomatoes in the box are rotten. Like I said, we suffer from these injustices but we also, subconsciously or otherwise, do these to other people. Why waste a perfectly good tomato just because one is traumatized from a rotten tomato in the past? That's not fair for the other tomatoes (which is weird because tomatoes don't have feelings) because they grew up nicely, but are still neglected because of the prejudice and generalization they experienced. I know it would take a deluge or tsunami to wipe the earth of all people who do these things (so that means all of us), so are we doomed? Of course we are. We even vote for underqualified senators, corrupt governors and mayors and lazy councilors. Anyway, all we got is one another and we would be stuck with the people around us for a very long time. So, I think a little cooperation would help. A little compassion and unprejudiced thinking will make the world a better place. (Ah! World peace! World peace!) Or a better tomato sauce.

It would seem that we got sucked into playing Text Twist like the other guys there at PED, but we really have a game of our own. However, one day, we just played Text Twist and never looked back. So, it's not a matter of we did it because they were doing it, let's say, we had a different inspiration to do so. But, why am I so defensive about this thing? I've no idea.

I am one of those UP people shaking their fists in the air for the CRS team. Or the ChE Department. Or the unpopular professors/instructors. Anyway, I am fearing that I would not get the ChE education that I paid for, thus I might graduate knowing a little, thus I might fail the Boards, or pass the Boards but suck at work, thus have a miserable life. Sometimes wethink these problems are insignificant, but they aren't. Unfortunately.
