Sleeping at Work
Last week in my Jewish/German writing class, some students were being really big assholes to my teacher. They were being really really mean, to the point where he got a little teary eyed while he was trying to talk. I have to admit that he's not the best teacher, but he's a really good guy and he definitely did not deserve comments like, "I'm wasting $60 a class. Can we please do something productive." comments. So I don't know what came over me, but I felt really bad for him...afterall, he was just trying to be nice when he asked us what we thought of our quiz/class...so I wrote him an email that basically just said that not everyone in the class felt the same way as the assholes. He is afterall the teacher and I don't think anyone deserves to be disrespected like that.
And then I had a dream that he wrote something really mean back. I hope he doesn't. I'm not trying to kiss up or gain any kind of favor by writing him an email so I'm not expecting anything in reply, but it would be nice to know he felt a bit better about the whole thing. I had a teacher in high school once that cried in class and I didn't say anything. This time, I felt somewhat morally obligated to reassure him that there are still people who support him in class.
So what's been going on recently...
Boyfriend and I went on a little getaway at a hotel last Saturday. It was much fun but now I'm hopelessly exhausted.
I bought an uber hair straightner...cost a bit more than I'd wanted to spend (around 130) but I think this is one of the best things I've ever invested in in my life. I'd rather spend a big chunk of money on something I want and will use rather than waste money on a whole bunch of crap that never work. So yay :-) Now I have smooth sleek hair.
I've decided I'm not doing Neuroscience in grad school. As interesting as things are, the only actual job you can get is a researcher. And as a researcher, you rarely deal with the entire brain, you take slices of it, stimulate it, and read graphs from computers all day. I've never liked working with machine...even if the machine is measuring something human. So I'm apply to clinical psychology directly. Glad I got my career choice down at least.
