I was feeling… well, not anti-social yesterday. More like anti-Bethany-social. I wanted to hang out with rational adults. But sometimes you just can’t find that on campus. Some days the Bethany kids are just determined to act like goofy adolescents. And I am just not in the bloody mood for that. (I could provide examples, but I don’t need to fuel the school gossips.)
Someone made the mistake of asking me why she never sees me on campus, outside of church functions. Well… it’s because whenever I see her at non-church functions, she’s acting like a goofy kid. So I avoid her. This is actually because I don’t want to develop a bad attitude about her, which will inevitably happen if I did spend any time with her. But of course I can’t tell her that. (Fortunately if she ever reads this, she’s probably just dense enough to not recognize I’m writing about her.)
Yet oddly enough, today I went into town, and got into a goofy conversation with some junior highers who were getting out of school and at a local coffeeshop. Which is just strange. Why can I put up with goofy behavior from actual children, yet I can't put up with it from college students?
Maybe I expect too much from the college students.
