I think it's ironic that my psych teacher doesn't notice the self-fulfilling prophecy when it's right in front of her. If you think I'm a slacker who doesn't try hard, of course you'll find ways to make it true. I may slack off sometimes, but give me a break. I work pretty hard. I don't care if you can't tell. If you don't notice, it's because I don't want you to notice. I don't want to be the person you worry about and feel sorry for, but that's no excuse for you to assume that I don't try. If I'm not open with you, maybe it's because I don't feel comfortable around you. Ugh. Don't talk to me like I'm some stupid kid who doesn't understand directions or give a damn.
Stupid things like this are the reason that the nurse knows too much. And it's so frustrating because I make it a point to respect Dr. S. I may not like psych, but I really try to pay attention in class and speak to her with respect. I guess it's not enough.
