I Thought I Graduated High School...

Yeah, school sucks. Not the actual learning aspect. But the people. Or, I guess I should say some of the people.

I am actually making friends here, unlike I did in high school. But I also seem to be making enemies too. Which is the same as in high school.

Yesterday I was talking to a girl in my Med Terms class about Anatomy and Physiology (A&P). She said that she has the same teacher I do (Mrs. B.) and she loves her. I, on the other hand, cannot stand her. As she and I talked there seemed to be many differences between the class I have her for and the class this girl has her for:

My Class:

• It's FULL! Too crowed. Granted, it's gotten smaller since some people have dropped. But it's still crowded.
• It's first thing in the morning. That means I get to listen to Mrs. B. pronounce the word "gout" as "goat" at 8:15 in the morning. Fun.
• Since it's first thing in the morning Mrs. B. is late...a lot.
• The other students in my class will not shut up. They talk too much and they don't seem to care about the work.

Her Class:

• Last period of the day. That means she can listen to Mrs. B. say "gout" as "goat" at 2:00 in the afternoon and find it funny rather than frustrating and annoying.
• She told me that there are only like 7 people in her class. How the hell did that happen??
• Since it's the last class of the day Mrs. B. is never late.
• She told me that there is a problem with cheating in her class...but other than that the class is well behaved.

So, as the girl and I were exchanging "notes" on our classes, I mentioned that this other girl (let's call her Mary) who is in our Med Terms class is also in my A&P class. The girl asked me to point her out to her, so I did. Not a big deal...or so I thought.

After class I was heading to my car but stopped by the door to get my keys. At that point "Mary" and this other girl walk past me and the other girl says, "Were you talking about us in there?" I was taken' aback by this and didn't know what they were talking about so I said, "No." Then she said, "Whatever Bitch," and walked away.

See what I mean? High school. Gah!

Okay, so then today in A&P I thought we had our test today. Mrs. B. had said earlier that it would "probably be on Wednesday." Okay, first of all you CANNOT give your students an approximate date of a test. I need to KNOW when the test will be. I've got too much other stuff to do that I need to be able to plan out my week.

So I go into class and am all ready for the test. Did we have the test? No. Of course not. She said that because of yesterday she didn't feel "comfortable" that everyone was ready yet. Know what I think of that? I think that if you're not ready it's your own damn fault. I was ready, but I didn't get to take the test. Now I have 2 tests tomorrow and a Mock Interview. Fun.

So, for the entire class (well, not really...she was late and then couldn't get the computer to work.) we played this game. Now, keep in mind that this room only has 1 computer. We had to go up one and a time to the computer, (which is hooked up to a projector so we can all see.) click on a color then on a bone and then type in the name of the bone. Thus labeling the skeleton. A complete waste of time since we could only go up one at a time.

After A&P I went to Medical Administrative Techniques (MAT) where we are currently using this computer program that is so out of date I'm surprised we don't need those huge floppy disks from the late '80s/early '90s.

The room is set up in an "L" shape which sucks 'cause I sit in the "bottom" of the "L." There are 2 teachers in the class so normally Mrs. Hail will work with my part of the class while Mrs. Whitman works with the other part of the class.

Today the assignment was super easy. Basically all you had to do was FOLLOW DIRECTIONS. It's really that simple. But for some reason, 4 of the ladies on my side of the room missed that day in Kindergarten. So, the other 3 ladies in my half of the room (including me) couldn't hear Mrs. Whitman talking, telling us what to do. I'd get Mrs. Whitman's attention, then she'd tell us that Mrs. Hail's supposed to help our side of the room. That would be fine, except for the fact that Mrs. Hail is trying to figure out why the other 4 ladies fucked up, and how to fix it. If that wasn't bad enough, those 4 ladies were being so impatient with Mrs. Hail, so Mrs. Hail was just getting frustrated all the way around.

So that has been my day. One of those days where I should have just stayed the fuck in bed. I'm tired.
