I am not like other girls, HELLO, I stick up for myself!!
I am a FIERY Italian and that is not always a good thing...today I had a bad day at school. I actually go there at 6:30 AM, in order to develop my film for Photography class. No one (teachers or techs) got there until about 7:15...argh. Good thing Mrs. Morales pushed back the due date until tomorrow. Cool. Here's where the fun begins... we finish up with the lecture and head to develop or print. I need to develop so I begin to develop my B&W film as usual. Well I had brought in a big jug full of distilled water and said that the girls could use it (quietly of course-the boys and girls have seperated themselves in that class for some reason...) Well, there is no more distilled water left. Melissa (a friend) apologized and said she would bring some in tomorrow to replace it. No problem. Xcept I needed some now. Well the only people to have any was John and Jenna. They partner up alllll the time. It seems like they are dating, but she is married, we all don't get it...anywho Melissa asks John if we (me)could kindly share a few drops of the water seeing as they were the only ones to have any today. John basically says no. I saw him use some of mine last week and now its no?!!! WELL that is just the beginning! I told Melissa thanks for asking but "I get it." I have never done anything to John or Jenna before? Here's the background on John-he is a black 25 yr old 'know-it-all' type who talks condesendingly to everyone and NOOO one likes him but Jenna. Well as I am developing with the chemicals I do have access to, he decides to change my timer! Jenna goes "John, I think she was using that." He goes (in his stern I know everything tone) "I saw her using it and it was at 00's so I moved it for you." Jenna and I look for a second at each other...I had 2 minutes (? or so) left for the most important step (the fixer), so I finish the best that I could...argh argh (strike three is coming)...so I need to put my film in the bath (wash) but Jenna and John decide that there film is sooo much more important than mine and bump me....argh again...so while I am waiting I check my film and notice that it is fucked! Not only was the TIMING OFF, but I didn't have enough water for the hypo rinse...furthering my already boiling situation. I go next door (red I am sure) and show Mrs Morales what had happened and proceed to tell her (some cuss words slipped out) what was going on... She proceeds to go next door to find out what is happening (before I can finish telling her everything but she heard enough...she knew something was up cuz I am alllways respectful and curteous and she has had me for other classes). She asks John to step outside so we can find out what is going on (the whole class is now wondering what is happening-embarrasing to say the least). He says "I am not here to make friends!" My reply is "Your doing a hell of a job at it too!" He goes "That's it I am outta here, don't blame me for her ruined film!" I thought I was gonna start cussing at him in Italian or Spanish (mental note kick my own ass for not knowing Italian or Spanish!) So Morales takes us outside. He of course never does anything wrong and did not apologize once, even though I did! Morales wanted us to talk in a professional manner. I was the bigger person and apologized, even though I didn't want to. Now I look like a bitch, but you know me, I don't take shit from anybody, condisending asshole or not. No one (especially every girl but Jenna-she like John cuz he does her work for her) likes this asshole. You can talk to him, ask him questions and he straight up ignores you! I hate being a fiery Italian sometimes. Anne (girl in the class) asked me after class "You could so take him right Steph cuz your scarey when your mad!" I told her I wasn't mad I was pissed. I don't know but I don't think many lesbians take shit from condisending asshole men...? maybe it's just me...well Morales is giving me an extension thankfully and allowed me to leave class early. I'm gonna hate going to class tomorrow. I'll just keep to myself, and my shit to myself, and if John is around, he is invisible to me, hey he is so dark he disappears in the dark room anyways (I know that's bad But I hate the fucker!) At least I have 3 girls on my side in the class, that helps. I wrote a note to Melissa and Ashley and Anne telling them thank you for being nice to me, I am not mad at them and talk to them tomorrow... I hate being in this position. The worst thing is that we have soo little time to develop and print in this summer class, so every second counts...especially when your watching a TIMER!!! Asshole!
