I forgot to mention one of the best parts of yesterday. We all went out of the school to take a class picture, and most of the class went though the same door, out of two sets of double doors. I rolled my eyes and went out of the much less congested other set of doubble doors.
Then, on the way in, I hopped over a small wall and walked on the grass while everyone else took the sidewalk. Then everyone was going in the same door. So since I was one of the first ones there, and West Point Boy told me that I was being greedy as I was trying to get from point a to point b asap, and then I opened the door for someone else, and then a girl remakred to West Point Boy that I was beeing polite. They weren't even using the freaking other door in the doubble door set. Then I pretty much flipped my shit.
I started yelling at them to open up and use the other fucking door, and then starting opening all the other doors and telling them to use the fucking door, why are you waiting to use the other door when this one is open, ect. They finally got the picutre when I held open the door and told them to use it.
Then, later when almost everyone had gone in I started begging everyone I'm remotely friendly with to tell me why no one was using the other doors. They patted me on the sholder (literarly in some cases) and said things about conformity.
Thus, my entire class thinks I'm insane. Which is okay, if insanity means using an open door. = )

It's just... so silly. Like the whole Iraq insurgency. They understand some levels of fear, but after the whole lesson in death, they haven't reached the higher concepts. Such as the insurgets want the Americans to leave. The Americans want to declare victory and retreat ASAP, but don't want to leve this gigantic mess.
The insurgents should just play dead. The Americans go "huzzah" and leave. When the last solider leaves, the insugents have rid themselves of the forigen invaders. Everyone get's what they want - except for the religious fundemtalists who are gonna be the death of us all, but things like that happens, you know?
