Political incorrectness... I don't care!

There is a person in my politics class. She sits within my vicinity and she is a libertarian and very politically incorrect. She doesn't make an effort to be correct, and frankly, I couldn't give a damn, seriously. She hates the Middle East, even though she's never been there, she watches Fox, and I guess that could be the reason why she's like that...

Anyhow, I don't like calling myself as right wing or left wing. As a matter of fact, I have left politics out of my life for good. Politics is for people who want a feeling of belonging.

If there's anything that politics in general has taught me, it's that nothing works the way you want it to and that's because of ideology. It's a pain in the ass and then some! I have a new (Relatively) idea for ideology and that it should be based on practicality. Why should a politician stick by his ideology of liberalism/conservatism/libertarianism/whateverism and go according to that stringent rule of ideology? Why can't they go and see what's better for the greater good rather than what promises they made during the election? I say, when looking at an issue, be practical, see what's the best outcome.

I know that the 3 readers reading this will say that "politicians look at what is the best outcome already." To be honest, I don't see it that way. They aren't practical, they either go with party policy (In Canada), or promise policy (In America), not always by practical policy.

Anyhow, that is my rant on the interwebs, ciao!

I'm just asking questions...

... and this time, I promise not to bash 9/11 conspiracy theorists! Actually, I'll be talking about something totally different!

I was brought up in an academic setting. Most of the family had university education and most of my cousins now are doctors or something along those lines (Two cousins are graduate surgeons). Naturally, my parents would want me to follow in the direction of going to medical school and becoming "Aghae Doktor", but I have other plans; plans that I think will make me happy in life.

I'll be the first to admit that my current GPA is not good conversation, unless you happen to be my worst enemy, and my personality in general is rather lazy. But, I can't stand people, whom I think are better qualified than me in many respects, put me as a benchmark of perfection. I overheard someone saying to his friend in a study group that "we should be better than Sheiban." Fine, whatever.

I think with people who compete with me, they only see the way I manage to organize my notes and other things. I guess they make the association that organization=good marks. I don't believe that and if you happen to read this, please note that Sheiban is not that amazing! He has a mediocre GPA and he's in a library writing on his blog instead of studying, and yes, I'm failing psychology!
