once you decide to pretend, pretend even the little things

i didn't intend to go into my usual holier-than-thou mode and be arrogant, but something iffed me today. if you're interested, you might want to click to continue ;)

so earlier today, leiron tells me he's going to attend that talk about applying to harvard and schools abroad. you'd do well to know that you need to have a high caliber of intelligence. leiron almost has me convinced (i'm hopeful for anyone, anyway) until someone (francis, i think) tells us that sir melvin is summoning us.

sir melvin tells us that leiron left the neck of his sax back at the band room. although that may not seem like a big deal, to me it was a huge sign of his carelessness and/or his irresponsibility of the little things. [echo] the little things. [/echo]

how the hell can you aspire to be a doctor or surgeon if you're careless? in the near future i can imagine that, not to be utterly pessimistic and dream-shattering, you're going to have a malpractice case filed against you because you left a scalpel inside someone. (damn, i watch too much nip/tuck.) and why would that happen? because you're careless. if you don't fix that, not to be utterly pessmistic and dream-shattering yet again, you're never going to be a doctor or surgeon.

[holier-than-thou arrogance] which is why there is nothing empty in my statement when i say to leiron, out of hand, that i'm smarter than him. [/holier-than-thou arrogance]

ang yabang ko, noh? sige, bring on the flames.
