Sad Statue Of Liberty

So I caught public transport home from uni for the first time, the time eased by a book in my hand, reading a skill I've not yet mastered while driving. and there's something that's been bugging me since tuesday, but I only really remembered like two seconds ago. The use of grammar, and the lack of it in our society. I'm no grammatical genius, and it's taken me a while to write this sentence. If my grammar is weak, how am I to complain about grammar elsewhere being poor without becoming hypocritical. I might have a slight edge from that half semester of Linguistics before my Kidney was stolen by terrorists, where I was taught basic grammar.

Linguisitcs was (and presumably still is) a compulsory subject for B.Ed, and I'd gone into it with some misconceptions. Less of an anthropological subject than I had hoped, but the text was so interesting I read it straight through - the non-grammar book that is. I also thought I'd be able to pick up, but that half-semester is one of the hardest times to recollect. The drugs the terrorists forced on me probably burned out my short term memory, along with these images of two or three nice girls who I was able to talk to, but less so after finding out they had boyfriends.

In the present tense however, I is are working a kick-ass concert tonight, I was successful in getting the call-centre job (now just have to do training), I've spent about an hour and a half since I got home last night learning guitar, and I'm being hooked up, apparently. even if I was coming off the endorphin blow, I wouldn't be able to tell.
