Go suck a fuck!!
Name that movie!!!(see above) Anyway, just got home from work. On the plus side, I did not have to paint, defrost a freezer, or scrub a carpet that smells like piss. :)
I did have to stay an extra hour, but not a huge deal. I got to watch the O.C. and Life AS We Know It, so I was content.
Today was one of those days. I got up this morning with difficulty to take a make up test which I think I did fairly well on. Then I went back home, got an oil change, made a coupla appointments and went back to school to meet my teacher to discuss a paper I had written.
So, I get to school at 1:30 and my teacher doesn't show up for another 10 minutes. He's late...again. He was 10 minutes late the last time I met with him too. Anyway, this paper was a "personal reaction" paper about things in our lives that had happened or experiences we've had that relate to social work, etc.
So when I wrote the paper, I was completely honest. You know, the whole: I've had problems with depression and anxiety since I was 13, I've been through drug/alcohol treatment twice, yadda yadda yadda.
Now, when I got my paper back, I had a score of 10 out of 10 and he had written that it was a good paper and very well written and that he would like to meet sometime to discuss it. This was the meeting today.
So, basically what he tells me is that the department has an obligation to make sure that the people who are going into social work are taking care of themselves and basically okay. And when he noticed that I had had an 'addiction problem' he wanted to meet with me to make sure that I was doing all right and that if I needed help that I could get it. Basically, he was checking me out to see if I was good to go.
Now, this totally caught me off gaurd since I assumed we would be talking more about the paper or how I had gone through lots of things that would be good experience for me in the social work field. But, instead he's asking me all these questions like if I'm in AA or if I have a higher power adn telling me that he's been around enough people with addiction problems to know if they are currently using or not and that I didn't look like I was currently using. About half-way through the questioning, he tells me- you don't have to answer any of these questions if you don't want to.
I had already been answering them. I really wanted to tell him to shut his fucking face and mind his own goddamned business, but I also realized that I wrote what I did. However, his questioning was waaaaaaaaay out of line and made me feel like total shit and caught me way off gaurd and TOTALLY PISSED ME OFF!!!!!!!!!!!
But, I didn't quite know what to do, so I just sort of answered his questions and got the fuck out of there. He's still my teacher after all and will be until the end of the semester. I was so angry. If he wants to weed out the 'bad apples' before they get too far in the social work program, he should really start with some other people. Like the one's who have absolutely NO life experience and probly never will and are gonna totally fuck up somebody's life. And there are a couple of those in my class. At least I know what I'm talking about for the most part. What a fucking jerk.
Oh well. It's over, I've vented and now I'm done. I have one class tomorrow and then the weekend. Sweet relief! I'm gonna go to a movie tomorrow I think, a scary one too by the looks of it.
Anyway, if you're still reading, you definitely get a prize since this turned out to be a novel.
About the whole election thing- I completely agree with Amber. I wasn't all that surprised that Bush won. I was hoping he wouldn't, but-eh. And I know that I don't do a whole lot as far as fighting for what I believe in, and I know a lot of other people don't either. All we do is sit around and talk about our ideal government and how fucked up and wrong everything is and blah blah. It's true, there's a lot of gross bad yuck that goes on as far as politics. And our government is a long way from being our 'ideal'. So that means that we either need to do something about it, or shut the fuck up. It's as simple as that. And as far as continuing to talk about the election, there's nothing left to talk about. IT'S OVER. Bush won. Get over it. We have 4 more years of it to deal with. What we can talk about are other causes or events or ideas that we want to fight for, something that isn't already over, and try to do something about it.
Thank you all and good night.
