Wow, lots of posts here. ok here I go, AA serious post again.
@TS: okay since I experience the exact same thing once in a while, all I can say is sadly, we can't do anything about it. A lot of the parents or at least their batch with some exceptions are indeed stupidly close minded, with them never understanding the true motives of their children-my parents at times don't even think about how WE feel, and just keep busting our asses ordering us around when they can do it themselves, or in Andrew's case, not listen to our opinion AT ALL. We can't do anything about that as no matter how much logic you try to throw their way, the old obsolete stuff that were taught to them before will never ever go away. Most people their age seem to think that they're always right(imho), and that the values they have are true and absolute(although I DO indeed absorb those that I think are sensible). My mom throws out tantrums too, especially when it comes to favors from me, and religion in general. In the end, as long as you stay under their roof, you always lose.
Sad part is, that my parents are SO religious, they resort to resignation over our financial woes, and just literally accept their fate and let "god" do it instead of actually doing something about it.
IF you can do anything about it, it's more of being the better person and just weather it out.
@Sforza Yeah some professors do have to understand that practicality>theory. period. More practice for real life application, Good. too much theory, BAD.
on the doujin thing, I definitely hate NTR, and at times BDSM. NTR on top though.
@Shin with regards to the holdup thing, yes, the first thing to look out for is if the asshole immediately points the gun or knife. If he/she does, then might as well accept defeat( I seriously loled when I read your story that one of them actually said that he had a gun and pretended to reach for something). It's in your case, however, that any one with even a sliver of physical capability could have done something about it. I really wish Trace and I would get to experience the same lol thing so that I(as well as him) could unleash some of our pent-up frustration at the stupid filipino masa. I'm sure it won't be pretty. LOL
with regards to your grades, have them double check and DO voice your concern. Might be the result of incompetence somewhere.
