Got my test back, freaking out why my mark was soooo low, when I thought this test was super easy. Well turns out that our teacher was on drugs of some sort (or so she told us) when she was marking them and mismarked half the answers. And then she freaks out on the whole class and tells us not to argue with her when we're just trying to find out why our answers are wrong. When I asked her to look over my test again because things were marked wrong and misadded, she gave me attitude and said that she doesn't have time for this. But it's her job/duty. I'm just so frustrated with it. Arghh! Everyone wasn't in a good mood after that class. Such a negative day. Too much drama between people... blehhhh. It's probably all the cold.

I agree that sort of thing can be frustrating, but I used to teach and I kind of understand where she is coming from. I taught 65 students and between grading tests, grading papers, and meeting with students it eats up a LOT of your free time. My students used to complain that I assigned them 3 page papers every other week, then I told them that this equated to me reading 195 pages of paper on the same subject over and over again. They quit the griping about writing papers after that.

Although it is her responsibility to make sure things are done correctly and I don't see where she had to tell you guys not to argue with her. I always encouraged my students to challenge why they received a certain grade because I feel this stimulates creative and intellectual thought in them.

The worst is that they always put people around them in principal cause - it's never their fault..
yeah man, couldn't agree more. Their negativity is like a disease, and other people catch it, like a nasty cold. It sucks. I don't know why people can't look on the bright side of things.
For example, if you haven't gone through, lets say a break up or divorce and what not, you most likely wouldn't have gone to a different job... meet the people you know now, and be where you're at in life with a good paying job. Every negative thing comes with a positive in one way or another. It's all about cause and effect. You alter one thing, and things change from than on... just have to look past the negative to see the positive. It's amazing one one slight action can set a chain reaction of events.
But yeah the negative people have a tendency to make it look like its someone elses fault when its not...

yeah, she could have dealt with this situation so much better instead of storming out of the class like a bullet when class was done so that no one could ask her anything else, and there was no need to yell at the class or mock some students. It was just ridiculous. I mean I can see where she was coming from to, and I felt that I was being polite, until she yelled at me as well. Just ruined my day.
Plus it's her responsibility to mark tests right and tell us why we got the answer wrong. No one was arguing with her, we just wanted to know our mistakes so we don't make same one on the final... plus some of the questions on the test were wrongly written sooo consequently our answer will be different...
I don't even wanna talk about this any more, the more I think about it, the more it frustrates me :(

Off to blaze and eat ferrero rochers!

^My good bud just came home after a year away at college. I almost forgot what beautiful funky dude he is. I hope you guys can still do a proper cooperative ragefest together.

Yes it is Waffles. We need a hugging emoticon... Anyway, my roommate and the aforementioned friend of mine shared a big thanksgiving hug this morning before we all went off to our respective dinners. We were all hung over, stinky and gross. I'm a few inches shorter than them so my head was smooshed in between their pecs. It was magical.

Nonsense, different people have different skill sets and intelligence cannot be defined by how well someone reads or writes. There are many other facets behind what constitutes intelligence such as abstract thought, understanding, communication, reasoning, learning, learning from past experiences, planning, creativity, and problem solving (just to name a few).

if everyone behaved in the same manner I would not want to be living in this world...

I cannot wait for tomorrow to be over...well I cannot wait until 2pm comes. My boss most have beeen on crack when she wrote up the schedule. Tomorrow I work 5:30am-2pm. Working on Black Friday isn't a problem for me. Last year the day went really fast because we were so busy. This year I'm a little iffy about it because I doubt I'll get enough sleep.

I'm gonna have to stock up on the monster energy drinks :/

and on another note

my tattoo sitting did not go well at all
as soon as he started it hurt so much. way more than usual. i need a break after the first 40mins and i normally go an hour and a half before the first break. and than every hour after that. but i just couldnt sit well, my artist felt kinda bad for me, cause im usually a champ until the end then i start moaning in pain.
he said its normal to have off days tho. your body just cant handle it for some reason. so after 2 and a half hours i had to call it quits for the day. my stomach was forming into a hard knot of pain and my lips were quivering so intensly i couldnt breathe correctly. breathing is so important during a tattoo, its the only real way to center yourself through the pain.
i was so dissapointed in myself. i usually sit 5 to 6 hours so i book a full day. so i pretty much fucked my artist over for his days paycheck.
and this means i have to make even more trips to cambridge from sarnia before im finished.

i was sooooo embarressed even tho Travis is such a cool guy and was real nice about me being a lil bitch today

aw, it's ok. I think it also depends what time of the day you go at. Your body has more tolerance for pain sometime between 1-4pm... when its early in the morning or in the evening you're more relaxed thus you can be more sensitive to pain... but who knows... it happens. I guess it gives you a reason to go back and visit ppl :p
