charlz_lynnthe beginning of my day that ended up with me COMPLETELY FED UP with rude people.
completely.
anyway... i had my first psychology test this morning. no problem. i've been in class. i read the stupid chapters that made me pretty angry in parts. i read grover an especially entertaining bit about optimism and pessimism where two men at a bar cruising for dates are compared to one another. i took notes. i read my notes. i was prepared. it took MAYBE an hour to feel prepared.
monica, the professor, did a review of the 3 chapters on the test directly before said test. whatever. that's nice... she's a little too nice, i think. THEN, upon finishing the review (talking about reward systems), she 'rewards' us with sugar. mini tootsie pops, to be exact. i don't agree with that, but whatever. and NEXT, what does she do? she announces that on this test, we are allowed to use our neighbors as 'lifelines,' not just once, not just twice, but for the WHOLE MOTHERFUCKING TEST! "In a whispering voice," she says. This, in a classroom full of people who talk at a normal volume when it is completely unacceptable for them to be talking at all! where the fuck am i?? larchmont elementary school? so, of course, people are basically shouting across the room to one another, AND asking her, the professor, if they have right answers! "Is 14 the id? no? then the ego? no.. okay," turns to neighbor, "14 is c. thanks monica."
WHAT???? (and now... i go off)
NO! NO! NO! look, this is college. you earn your motherfucking grades. you do not forget to study, get a review at the beginning of class, and then have permission to cheat! if i had known, would i have studied for that pathetic little hour? fuck no! would i have bothered to go sit in that class full of rude fucking people 2 days a week the last 3 weeks and listen to their stupid conversations about their ex boyfriends stealing their cell phones and how they are just. so. devastated? would i even take notes on common sense??? FUCKING CHRIST! NO!!!!
is she running some kind of psychological experiment on us? seriously. does she want to see how people like me will react to being placed back in high school? i guess so.
and. by the end of the day, i was ready to rip heads off because this happened, and THEN the rude boy in my math class was TALKING ON HIS CELL PHONE DURING CLASS! what the hell has conditioned you to think this is okay?
alright. i know, i am by NO means perfect. i can be an incredibly rude, inconsiderate bitch sometimes. the real problem i have here is that these rude people in particular are acting as road blocks for the education i'm really trying to get. and keep. really.
ok. i think i'm done now. thanks livejournal, i feel a lot better. (sorry ry, i know you heard this once today :)
