The Way I See it # 463

Dear Throat,

Starting out my day with absolutely no voice has not been well received. I don't know what you were thinking, first getting a "tickle" and then turning into a soar throat, and then having my voice disappear. And now, you've decided that instead of being unable to talk, all I can make are gutteral sounds that I really want to sound like words. You know I have my first day of work today, what's your deal? What am I supposed to do? Scream some weird gargle as customers/coworkers/managers?

Where did our relationship go wrong?



Sincerely Yours,
Z

Alright. I'm a pretty patient person. Anyone who knows me knows this. I'll deal with just about anything, but this is too much.

It is one thing for you to decide that your major is not for you. That's fine, everyone has trouble finding a major. It's a completely different thing to discredit my education, and my major of choice. While I can deal with your griping about classes, and how your interests aren't being met, I won't tolerate you calling my interests worthless, stupid, and not worthy of your time. I don't appreciate it when you call Anthropology a worthless major at VCU. I certainly don't appreciate it that you say a degree from VCU is not as respected as one from another school. You could technically say that about any school in the country. Besides, if you really felt that way you'd be transferring, or you would have applied and gone to another school in Virginia.

Please, don't talk to me again about it. Just follow your instincts and move into another major.
