it has been a while since i have had time to write. this year we have thirteen new teachers at our school and sadly, i have four of them. four teachers, out of my eight, are new teachers at my school. there are two of them that i really dont like, and its not because of the subject, its because...well i will explain:
Teacher Number One: i feel like she is constatly in a bad mood, i understand that it is stressful because its christmas, but even back in august she was like this...she is all about rediculous deadlines, and her negative attitude makes me want to do nothing except get away from her, so i normally ask to go work in the library, to find new things to work on in class, and just recently when i asked she went off on me saying that i dont need to be leaving class [like everyone else] because im not producing anything, and that im failing her class because i dont work. i suppose i wouldnt mind this if she said it nicely. the reason i have a D, not failing but not goor either, is because i felt like i was rushed to get my pieces to begin with, and so, to meet her deadlines, and make her happy, i rushed to find a piece, and after practicing a few times, i learned i hated it, it was morbid, and depressing, and i didnt want to have to preform that. so, i dropped it. i currently have one piece that she might like, but if she doesnt like the pieces, she gives you a bad grade, even if you oreform them well!!! so my question for her is why dont you just give us pieces to preform??? at least then we wouldnt have deadlines, and we wouldnt have to try to find a piece she likes. i like her and all, i just wish she would be happier, i would ask her questions about my piece so i could do better, but it seems like everytime i talk to her i just make her mad.
Teacher Number Two: within the first five miunutes in his class the first day, he managed to scream at our class, and make someone go out in the hall for switching the desk with another desk because the seat was messed up. he is unusual. he will yell at us saying we are loud, and then not even one minute later he will be all happy again. within the first week, he had a complete one-sided conversation with us while screaming as loud as he could. we all think he is a little crazy, supposedly he threw a desk at his old school...he made my friend cry, and she is one of those really sweet people, that is really quiet, and does well in school. he is odd, but i guess he can be nice sometimes, i try to see the good in people, but sometimes i just have to look real hard...
Teacher Number Three: she has a very obvious texan accent, which was very amusing for everyone on the first day. she is nice for the most part, but she never tells us when stuff is due, we are just supposed to know...which i guess is good because i suppose thats how college will be, but...her class is fun, we do labs and thats cool, and i like the subject which i guess helps. all in all she is nice...
Teacher Number Four: last but not least, i love this guy!! we have some of the weirdest conversations in his class, and he lets us order pizza because we have a really small class. he is just a really neat guy, and in the middle of the lecture, he will just randomly be like "So...you. how was your week?" and completely get off subject for half the class period. i love him because he is one of the few teachers that act like a person, a friend, instead of a robot with all these restrctions. he is cool.
i think sometimes when you have a really good thing, you've got to take a little bad with it to make it even, and im okay with that, because the good overpowers the bad always.
