i care a lot about school. in fact, its almost at an obsessive level. i am paying so much for it, that i think the obsession is okay. i have a professor that can seriously be classified as crazy. she is extremely knowledge, arguably an expert at what she teaches (sociology of education), but she is crazy. discussing concepts in class is not really an option because she will shoot down anything anyone says and make you feel dumb in the process. if you ask questions about assignments she gets upset and says "i don't want to do it for you"... i could go on, but i think you understand what i'm dealing with. i thought i was "safe" from her craziness, since i got an A on my first paper.... i was wrong. yesterday, i came to speak with her about my part of a group presentation next week. she wanted to me with all of us and check our outlines.... the first thing she told me when i walked in the classroom is that she was disappointed in me. it only got worse. she went on to say that i did not do the outline how she would have, that she cant believe how much help i needed, etc.... this was all said in front of my group and classmates. rude. thankfully (sort of), i wasn't the only one she ripped apart... it was terrible nonetheless. i thought about leaving and not staying for class... but i care too much about my grade. it is really hard to love people like her... that are so condescending and hate everything... but i am supposed to. i wrote her an email after class- i wanted to be rude, but thats not what i'm about. she wrote me back and apologized (in her own way).
i am excited about today. i am not doing any school work...which is really a bad decision... maybe i will be some reading... but thats it! my room mate and i are taking a trip to the suburbs, which sounds lame, but is needed sometimes.
