Something's broken- and no, it ain't a heartache

HOME SWEET HOME.
For the past 18 hours I have been: A) awake, B) teaching freshmen how to solve a problem in many ways, C) screaming at any ignorant/arrogant/idiotic/decidedly-mute-to-save-their-own-asses freshmen, D) nearly slapping a really irritating freshmen, E) Being one of four acting medics for 120 students, F) making and deconstructing a ( Read more... )

Have I told you how awesome it is that you're a medic? *___* It's coooool. Yet exhausting for you. :/

*blushes* Thank you! It's awesome, but EXHAUSTING :) It's nice to be able to help people, though. And it's kinda cool when people running to you while yelling, "MEDIC! WE NEED MEDIC HERE!"

You're welcome, dear! It's just that, I've always wanted to be a doctor or a medic, and you're like, doing just that, and you aren't even in college yet! Why, why, why doesn't my school have a Red Cross club/organization like yours? *woe*

You can always join your country's national Red Cross :) Honestly, I wasn't thinking that far when I joined the club, but I'm glad I did- I learned (and still learning) lots of things :)

LOL I don't mean to laugh, but this is the reason why I never did much in high school. It's also the reason I hated high school.

Peer stupidity/immaturity is truly vomit worthy.

Gotta admire you though for being a medic and putting up with that shit. I probably would have knocked someone out. O.o

Egh, the problem is, I'm the medic AND a club president. Double-duty, you know? And in workshops the club presidents work together with the student body to 'educate' the freshmen (who'll take over, next year).

It's not in any kind related to peer stupidity or what? But the method of teaching itself that's kind of harsh, given the real-time situations the clubs (they're more like organizations, actually. the school never cared much about extracurricular programs) and the student body faces. And freshmen being freshmen- they're daft. And obnoxious. And arrogant.

I personally prefer to knock them out with a punch :D But giving them a good dressing down for their attitude works :) And they have to learn how to deal with difficult people anyway, so it's a win-win situation.
