(no subject)
Jasmine always jokes with me by asking: "Why are people from Chicago always ready to fight somebody?" Right now, I want to laugh in my anger while thinking of that.
I swear, man, my Writing Studio teacher has me super heated right now. He claims I'm not putting in my best effort, and almost as soon as he said that I went bazerk. Mainly it's because I'm PMSing (and now I think of other jokes...where numerous friends/acquaintances have stated that I'm ALWAYS PMSing). Jess + PMS = DO NOT FEED THE ANIMAL. Do NOT bring me any BS or I will bite your head off. That teacher and I went at it (verbally, of course) for a good five minutes. I, of course, in defense of my "slacking off." Come on now...I have seven freaking classes, am attempting to succesfully run a club on campus, and have a social life. Get the eff outta here.
RECAP:
[Class is ending]
Teach: I need to speak to Jessica for a minute.
[I walk over to him]
Teach: Y---------
Blah, I don't feel like writing all of that out. It's stupid, and I don't want to dwell on it word by word. The really funny thing is that I knew this would happen soon (if not today). All through class I was MAD. I've only felt like that with one other teacher and it was my French teacher from junior year of high school. I blew up on her over a bag of Popeye's (lol). Anyway, he told me my answers aren't well thought-out and I haven't been coming to class prepared. Maybe that's true, but it's all for very good reason(s). Primarily, I THINK HE IS WASTING MY FREAKING TIME which doesn't motivate me to put forth the "best effort" possible!!!! I said something to that affect in a very polite manner, and his response was "Well, maybe you should remember that I'm the teacher and I'm going to run the class how I'd like." Some very authoritative cocky bullshit. If I'm PAYING for the education though, shouldn't you consider the way that I'd find most effective to learn? I mean, that's what I think. Mann....lol. My thoughts are scattered...and I have to hurry up and do this revision for my next class @5.
I told him I'd e-mail him. I will. Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.......
*edit@4:36* Oh yeah, let me NOT forget to mention how Tuesday he told me that my stories needed to have more of that "Urban, gritty, slang" in the language, because it seems to come so natural; opposed to the "elegant prose" which seems extremely forced...OR how he added that when he calls on me in class I seem as if I'm thinking "Why would anyone want to listen to what I have to say?" Also, keep in mind I am the only black student in this class...and he is new to my school AND my classmates and I. Hmmm....so, yes...I was a timebomb waiting to explode cause he'd already pushed some buttons. Little did he know? Or maybe he's trying to. I don't know what to do. I'm just mad cause he made me so upset I didn't feel like getting fries out of the caf, and now I'm hungry and far away! lol
