Make me understand whyY
I just wanted to use the computer to download my Geography notes and copy the answers on to the blanks on my worksheet. That has been my way of studying, to write things out so that the information would be engraved into my head.
I told my brother that and he said he needed to use the computer too. He suggested that I print whatever I needed to copy from, but I felt that it was really a waste of resources ( papers, ink, time). He said it would be faster, I would not even have to copy.
I reiterated that I had to write things out to better understand. Guess what, he asked me to print it out then write out -.-
"Forget it," I uttered, and took all my stuff and went back to my room, thinking of just letting him use the computer, I could always go back when nobody's at home.
And guess what (again), he came over to my room and told me a whole lot of nonsense:
-that he gave suggestions and I didn't even bother
-that by saying "forget it", I'm showing him that I had no interest for Geography
-that if I were to use the computer, it would be affecting his time
I didn't want to argue, so I ust moved on with Literature first. Since me studying would affect him, whatever he had to use the computer for must have been urgent.
*NOTE: I was an A1 student for physical geography; I love the environment (don't believe? You can ask Yuyi or Clarissa, I have been emphasizing on being green), and Geography is 1 important factor in life, how would I ever lost interest in it?!?!
Anyway, after about 20 minutes analysing the story Durian, I went for a toilet break, passing by 大哥's room (where the computer is). Guess what (again) was on the screen of the monitor? Motion graphics, Anime! At that moment, I really had nothing to say. No point argueing or getting on fire.
Hey brother, you have your own laptop, so why fight over the computer with me when I'm using it for serious studying???
