Fiery-Tongued Girl: You might know her, but you would regret doing so. From themoment you meet her, it is noteworthy that she is stammering, yelling, ordering peoplearound for no apparent reason. She is the student CEO with no employees, who believescommand and authority rests with her even though none has been codified. She has asecular righteousness to her and will unleash her pent-up anger to anyone who darequestion her authority or her ideas.Fresh from college in another state, she feels as though she is well-settled back here inCalifornia. Yet, there is a sense of establishmentarianism in her line of thinking, as wellas her behavior. If an idea is contrary to her thinking, she will act like most east coasters – sardonically dismissing the idea, thinking it absolutely crazy, insane, or wacko; she isnot the type to have debates with. She would have been a great monarch, believing thather supreme thoughts allow her to rule the unwashed masses. When she is sitting or walking, there is a sense of anxiousness for no apparent reason. Her head bobbles back and forth, to and fro, and while sitting her leg has a tendency to shake as though she hassome sort of neurological disorder.Her anger manifests itself after class, where she will be outside smoking, taking out her anger on her addiction, the cigarette. The cigarette is sort of like a pacifier, an oralfixation that relieves her stress.She is stubbornly anti-everything. She was anti-Bush, but she wasn’t pro-Kerry. Shedoes not appear to like any of the professors, but then she has no qualms about providinga compliment on their performance here or there. During anonymous grade evaluations,she felt the need to reveal exactly how she scored her professors – even though the entire process is supposed to remain anonymous. (If other students know how she graded her professor because she opens her mouth and reveals her obnoxious ideas regarding howwell they did or not, then that student listener could easily tell the professor and the process would not be anonymous. Too difficult a concept for her, perhaps).She has never uttered a single positive idea about anyone or any thing, and thus shestands for nothing, because she is against everything, and if everything is wrong, thesuggestion that the opposite—a replacement with all that exists with the opposite, wouldstand to be her line of thinking. But she does not take that position. She prefers to sitatop her ivory towered egoism and believe that everything could be better if it were donedifferently, even though she does not say exactly how that could be done. In reality, she probably could not run a 7-11 store for more than 15 minutes before some teenagerswould start stealing candy and blind men would be grabbing cigarettes and taking it outthe door.When she applied to law school, she probably heard that lawyers always disagree aboutthings and therefore this would be a good field for her. She did not realize that sheneeded logic and reasoning skills. Instead, she thought that if she simply yelled at themand acted like an obnoxious jerk that people would back down and listen to her. Giventhat is not the case, it is not surprising to hear that she finds the law school experience sotroubling: it is not what she had bargained for.
