the-elm's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fuck Show Sometimes I wonder if it's just my college experience that is fucked up, or if this happens to all and sundry. On Thursday, a friend of mine suffered what we fear to be either a nervous breakdown or induced psychosis. Thus far in my 21 years of life, I had only seen such things in the movies, or in books. But this was madness manifest, complete with rambling disconnected soliloquies, obsessive compulsive behaviour, hysteria, connections drawn between unrelated past events and the present. It was a complete breakdown of her personality; someone who had been a staunch pillar of support has suddenly crumbled into a blithering idiot that no one could comprehend let alone calm down. Sure, she was involved in a number of things one shouldn't mess with. But once again we all came face to face with the sheer fickleness of human life and sanity. Something I had certainly begun to take for granted all over again. It reminded me of when he died. Suicide. And how it had ripped everyone apart then. And now this is ripping me apart. Will we ever get her back? Then today (Tuesday), my Law Department at the university seems to disintegrating before our very eyes. The department fired one of our most esteemed professors for the sake of a false allegation of plagiarism by someone more well connected. Such is the state of my country. If you have money and connections, then you have it all made for you. And to top it off, someone else near and dear to my heart was jailed, again because he refused to bribe a police officer. For a while we thought he had been kidnapped, or worse dead. It was only once we filed a Missing Persons' Report with the police did we discover that he had been arrested. This is all a little too much for me. 9:55 p.m. - 2009-11-24 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
