Donc comme vous (So like you) Volume I: "Something with no wings was born"

Chapter II "Birds going out in the sunlight each and every day, will they bore?"

And that's just how the following 2 months of the university life of Osric were, always going to the same classroom with the same classmates, walking for the same streets at the same hour and getting to the same house every single day without exceptions, but it is not something that matters in his life, his life has always been about routine, life is always about routine, even for a person who could have a lot of hobbies and loads of things to spend the time on, the only thing that can make us be "good" at something is practice since all those things someone could do are not intrinsic. The human being wasn't born to do them, that's why when it comes to conventions, the only way to be able to handle them as the rules say is practicing, and practice is the same as routine, isn't it?

Well, I must leave my house immediately, otherwise, I am going to have to deal with the patronizing gaze of Harlan, mhhh, I think that was his name. Well, it is not like I care.

(Leaving home).

Today I have to go to my uncle's house. I don't really know why, but he called and told me to visit him. Mhhh, it is not like I care that much... but thinking it through, I don't really want to go anywhere but my house. Mhhh well, I could say the same about doing almost anything. I mean, there are just... 3 things that I really like to do, so most of the things that people will to tell me to do are not going to be what I really like to do, so I think I can just submit myself to such social pressure.

I don't really dislike things, I just don't understand them, there are all kinds of realities in this world, I mean, certain people like certain things and others like other things and that's just because of their different realities, /I think/. So instead of saying that I don't like all those things is more precise for me to say that I don't understand the realities of the persons that like those specific things, and that I don't have any interest in researching that specific topic, and that I'll probably never do.

(At the classroom).

I finally got here. Mhhh, late like always, dealing with the front lines again.

Mhhh, today's classroom seems to be a little bit different from other days, what could it be? It seems my professor is not the same as always...no, it is not that. Mhhh, what is it? ...I don't really know what could happen in a classroom that could make me think such thing. I mean, this is not something important for me, so, why am I worrying about such a shallow matter? Mhhh, maybe...

(Professors' announcement: all of you sit down and let just your pencil on your desk. The test has started)

...Oh, I had forgotten about this test. Oh, wait... Now I realize what is happening, there are less people...mhhh, but why? Did something happen? Maybe there are certain persons that have a preferential treatment and have classes at their homes...mhhh, I don't actually think that's a possibility, judging by the way in which the classes at this university are, I think there cannot be something like a preferential treatment. I mean, I don't think they would waste resources on things like that since in the end, this thing called University just exists to exchange knowledge for money, it works the same as all the other businesses, their philosophy is very simple. "if you can avoid wasting money, do it" that's why I don't think they are going to waste more resources on students if it's not completely necessary...Well whatever, it is not like I really care about what the owner of this knowledge business does.

Anyway, I am going to ask the professor if I can take this test another day because I didn't remember it was today, and I didn't study, probably I don't have enough knowledge to answer this test and get to show my top potential. Well, I have never shown my top potential and neither of these persons has. It is obvious, this is just a convention created by humans, we are humans, there is no way we couldn't understand a part of the knowledge that is created by the same capacities that a normal human has. I mean, we are all equally capable of doing anything, however, we need practice and that's exactly what studying is, so if this person wants us to show our maximum potential, he should let us take this test having had enough practice...well, all of us would score a hundred percent with certain exceptions that would be just because of deconcentration or something like that and not because the person doesn't know the content regarding that specific convention. Anyway, I don't lose anything by asking.
