Two weeks of this so far. Thirty four left to go. That's one hundred seventy days. Heaven help me.
Although, to be honest, actually being at school isn't too bad, (except for math, which I'll come to in a minute.) I've mostly got teachers I like and I have THREE (COUNT 'EM) classes that actually interest me, (Latin, AP Psychology, and AP Computer Science,) compared to the usual one (Latin) or - if I'm lucky - two (Piano in freshman year). What really gets me in this mood is the three or more hours of homework I get nightly. Oh, and Mrs. Williams, my teacher for pre-calculus.
Now, not every teacher can provide truly engaging lessons. I understand that. Most people aren't too great at holding other people's attention, especially when they're talking about things that most people don't give a rat's ass about. I don't expect miracles from any teacher. But my God, do I expect them to be better than Mrs. Williams. She is far and away the single most intensely boring person I have ever met in my entire fuckingLIFE. She is concentrated tedium on legs. She absolutely radiates lethargy. When she enters a room, everyone's eyelids begin to droop, and when she starts talking, everyone's heads begin to nod forward. Having her class first thing in the morning, when I'm barely awake to begin with, is not conducive to my staying lucid long enough to get the notes I need.
Anyway, besides that I'm relatively happy with my teachers, or at least not terribly unhappy with them. Homework will be homework, school will be school, and consequently this will probably be the only thing I upload for a very long while.
i hate ms. williams. You've said everything about her I would have said... Remember when I sat in the farthest left desk in the class? I was so happy 'cause I thought she wouldn't see me drawing in class or anything... but then she moved me... and the girl I now sit in front of makes me pull my hair out. >.<
Yep, I remember that. :/ And then today she told us, "You guys have an advantage because first block is aaaaaalwaays longer; you get more of a lesson than second block." We know, Mrs. Williams. God, do we know.
When she said that I felt like class got even longer. -.- Sometimes I wonder whether she gets the boredom vibe coming from her students. Does she ignore it or is she just clueless...?
In my experience the most boring teachers are also the ones who least notice or care about people not paying attention. My theory is that, because they're so damn boring, they don't know what an attentive student looks like and therefore don't notice when people start drifting off to their happy places. Either that or they've had such monumentally small success in making people pay attention that they've just given up.
In Mrs. Williams' case, I think the former is more likely. She obviously hasn't given up on trying to make people pay attention, (she still bitches at you for putting your head down,) but she doesn't seem to notice when people start tuning her out and staring into space.
I wonder what she was like when she was in high school.
You hit the nail on the head! And sorry for late reply.. Surely she must've daydreamed a few times ...but she was probably closest to being the perfect student.
Ms. Williams is the most disorganized teacher i've ever met... Half the time I cant understand anything because she writes notes all over the place. Her class is the longest class of the day for us to which makes her class that much worse....
