Need something to read because you came here to see what's up, only to find that I am currently a slacker?

Go here and read Retired Waif's lovely rant. A tiny taste:

Yes, I have a terrible attitude. I catch reproachful looks all the time. After all, I’m supposed to be the saintly Buddhist theology major, the non-traditional student who’s just so happy to be here, the poor kid on scholarship, and a thousand other things that make the constant chip on my shoulder lately seem so out-of-place to school-people, not to mention that girl who just got married and with her whole life ahead of her got that horrible disease, and I swear to God if I do anything other than smile bravely people downright glare at me for not giving them their little feel-good “there but for the grace of God,” “isn’t she inspiring” moment.

There are a number of people who need to disabuse themselves of the notion that I exist to show them the dignity of the human spirit in the face of adversity.
