Regarding Monday's story, I was just going to mention about my personality type, which is INTP... maa.. 

On Wednesday (March 13th), I had a group discussion at my school's foyer. The assignment involved programming using Prolog... which we aren't too familiar with (but is fun to play around with after you know the basics). Well, while discussing, sometimes our fellow coursemates came & gave out some not-so-helpful :P comments. Two seniors in particular were like this: "Don't ask us, we only learnt about theory [during our time].." This was perfectly understandable. Anyway, the comments that bothered me came from a someone (from the same batch with me & already graduated) were...

"What? You're doing programming using this ancient language?"

And then this same person suggested that we ask S-san ("His programming skill is good, he must know something") for help. An hour later, S-san, who was going to have lunch (if I remember correctly) saw us.. & sat with us. We asked him if he knew about Prolog & his answer was, "No." I was a bit disappointed but I did expect something like that. 

Erm... programming isn't really my favourite..uh.. activity but hearing him say "ancient" made me feel sad. It was like when あくま said half-jokingly, "We don't need artists anymore because computers can make realistic paintings". Actually, it felt like my heart died a little (exaggerating much XD)... I was thinking... ah.. this is the kind of person who's pursuing postgraduate studies now *sarcastic*. 

I don't see the need to call it ancient. Newer doesn't mean it would be better...

Actually.. it annoyed me. I was expecting a more passionate [with his field] kind of post-graduate student. Such comments gave a gist to his way of thinking. It's not pretty.

Hah... Maybe I'm being jealous. It was like seeing two students practising their japanese language aural exam. I didn't have the chance to join the classes. They'd studied so long but they still couldn't pronounce things correctly. I take pride in my way of thinking. It was irritating to see someone like that already graduated... & me still stuck (lol). Maa maa... It's my own fault for being lazy really XD

Speaking of being an INTP, it's a pity that I'm not into programming... because when I get obsessed with something, it can be frightening.
