hopefulnebulaI knew when I woke up this morning that I'd be having a bright, shiny, happy day. Seems that it's lived up to my expectations.
This morning during Living Faith *shudders*, my teacher (who has absolutely no sense of either tact or personal space even on a good day)-- before she even says "hi" to anyone-- says "are you feeling cranky today, Lizzy?" I say "yes" just to shut her up, as I know she's expecting something along the lines of "no, just tired." Which would also have been true. Anyway, she goes back to picking on this one girl in our class. I swear, what she does with this girl is borderline harassment-- the teacher always picks on her and laughs at her, then dismisses it as "It's OK, we're buddies." Granted, the girl does deserve some of it (who flies from Denver to Colorado Springs?), but I am so sick of hearing it. Then we sit through forty-five minutes of bullshit about college we already knew already, and about how much the teacher will miss us. Then we go on a four minute break ("The number four is very auspicious," she says. EVERY DAY. I'm sick of that too.) I get to talking with an acquaintance and don't realize she's behind me. Then without warning, she grabs me by the shoulders and starts shaking me around HARD. I wrench myself away and she says "whoa, do you want to stay cranky or something?" Then I explained to her in no uncertain terms that I hate being touched and to please not do that again. The last thing I need is to be shaken about like a fucking rag doll by a teacher I dislike in the first place. It's not the first time she's done something similar, either. It's her habit to slap people hard on their back in congratulations or as a greeting. But in the past I'd had time to brace myself. I'm done dealing with that. And in the unlikely event that she does that to me again in the next two days, there'll be a nice harassment suit coming up. Who in their right mind thinks that SHAKING A PERSON makes them feel good? Why are people such morons?
