Potto The Magnificent
Kiddo the fox-phoenix
I'm pissed off at half my professors right now. I think I'm going to stop showing them respect. Why the hell do I care - I graduate this spring and already have a job.
You show your profs respect?! Do people do that?
eek I give my profs the benefit of the doubt that they aren't flaming morons. With a few exceptions they're usually quite decent and intelligent individuals.
Aside from my fairytale professor, who is her own catagory of eccentric and awesome, this entire semester is an exception.
My marketing professor is a nice guy, a little too enthusiastic for the subject, but his exams suck. They're not over the general concepts but the a**l-retentive stuff and it's all from the book, which makes me wonder why the heck I attend the lectures now. But hey, at least he knows my name.
My CS professor is an oblivious individual who seems to only look at his precious subject material. I was shocked and amazed that he actually learned my name from last semester and isn't just calling me 'miss' anymore. Which is a good thing as I'm not the only miss in the classroom this time. Might have made things difficult. However, his exams are the worst I've seen in my life - three questions, sixty points in a two hundred point class, and are usually over something obscure and not covered in class. The only redeeming value is that they're open book, altough this rarely helps. Only class I got a C in, ever. And if you're wondering why I took him again - I didn't know it was him. He got his U.S. citizenship over the summer and changed his first and last name. Right now I hate him because he's not letting me take his exam early which means I can't see the doctor for another week, which means I'm scared of why this is getting worse, drugged up most of the day to get rid of the pain, and not sleeping but for a few hours each night. Furthermore, if I need to get surgery I'll also miss a lot of class instead of a little class as I'd be able to get it done at the start of fall break instead of at the end. Granted, he doesn't know how serious this was because I don't feel comfortable talking about girl health issues with a professor. But still - wouldn't it be nice if a professor took into consideration a student's well-being when making kneejerk decisions?
And my business communication professor I despise because she's a psycho. The things she takes points off for are unpredictable, inane, and stupid. It's like she's already made up her mind on what the perfect paper is and is wondering why no one has handed it in yet. Furthermore, she has already announced an intention to not give out any A's. I think I can sum her up like this:

I'm not as nearly mad about this as it seems, it's just nice to be able to sound-off about stuff that annoys you. I think the most frustrating thing for me right now is the fact that I promised myself I'd take care of myself this semester instead of putting schoolwork first and oh look - I'm not! That and while I was an intern this summer my co-workers showed a helluva lot more care and concern for me than anyone at the university ever has.
Okay. Your turn, anyone else hating their teachers at the moment.
Ooooo I think the darvocet just kicked in so I'll have to logoff now cause the room is spinning.
