Hmm... you guys
Chatterbox: Down to Earth
Hmm... you guys
Hmm... you guys remember that post about me knowing the future? Well, more creepy coincidences. More VERY creepy coincidences.
1. Last night, I had a dream...in it, one of my Algebra classmates, we'll call her "E", was telling the class she had trouble on the homework and hadn't been able to finish it. Today, i wallk innocently into Algebra, only to see her pulling out her homework and telling everybody that she had trouble on the homework and hadn't been able to finish it. *wiggles freaky phsycic fingers*
Speaking of Algebra, we had a nasty, evil schemeing sub today. Ahem, the following is a play:
Mrs. K: Hello, Kit Kat. I see you appear to have messed up on your problem.
Kit Kat: Um, no. I just haven't finished the last-
Mrs. K: That's not what's on my answer paper
Kit Kat: There's always several ways to solve an algebra problem, Mrs. K.
Mrs. K: No, only one RIGHT way.
Kit Kat: NO-
Mrs. K: Your answer is wrong! What did you get?
Kit Kat: 15, but i still need to subtract the 3 for the final step, so it is-
Mrs. K: See, I told you you made a dumb mistake. the answer is 12. *walks away*
FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER:
Mrs. K: Several of you had problems on number 9. Let's put it on the board. *sets about doing the problem on board*
Kit Kat: *innocently works on different problem, as she did not have trouble, despite what the teacher said.*
Mrs. K: *stops and glares at Kit Kat* Now, class. Pay attention, because some of you had trouble on this and will certainly fail this test....
Kit Kat: (thinking: I'm in a High School Level Algebra! I am probably smarter than you!)
Mrs. K: So pay attention, because some of you did really dumb things on this problem, and we need to fix that, so you won't make any more stupid mistakes like that---KIT KAT. I hope you're listening, I saw that dumb mistake you did, KIT KAT!
Kit Kat: (muttering: Dumbo breath, I got the same answer. doi. )
FIVE MINUTES BEFORE END OF CLASS:
Kit Kat: *innocently packing up as the normal teacher allows them to do five minutes before the bell. She is silently fuming.*
Mrs. K: Excuse me, what are you doing?
Kit Kat: Um, packing up?
Mrs. K: You have five whole minutes. Since you seem to putting things away, I want you to take everything you had out back out again, and empty out your folder and pencil bag on your desk. Now, you cannot pack up again until I say so, which is when you finish at least two long, hard, algebra problems.
Kit Kat: But we only have three minutes now!
Mrs. K: Unpack!
Kit Kat: *dumps everything all over desk right as bell rings*
SEE WHAT i WENT THROUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know! I almost came up to her after school (because she wouldn't be able to give me a detention then) and I would....hmmm....must narrow down the list...

Whoa. That's pretty bad. *sympathizes*
Errm. Could be worse though. *sidelong glance at fifth gradec teacher*
On the topic of bad teachers and dreams: I KEEP HAVING THESE FREAKY NIGHTMARES ABOUT MY FIFTH GRADE TEACHER. *head explosions* Very. very. creepy.

Wow, what a nasty lady!!! I had a bad dream that I got 25% on my History test. I still haven't gotten the grade back. Let's just hope that I am not like you and that I cannot predict the future.
(November 7, 2009 - 2:35 pm)
Guess what!!! I got 91%!!!!! Phew.
(November 10, 2009 - 8:47 am)
Ack! That sounds horrible!! Poor Kit-Kat. :( And poor Mary Liz! :( Not fun teachers!
Well, I'm guessing you have your regular teacher back now, so all's well that end's well. I guess.

There are bad teachers out there. :P But hey, give her a break. Maybe she was having a bad day - her daugher broke her arm, she's going through a divorce, her husband lost his job, etc. We have a family joke (sort of joke) - whenever someone is being a bad driver, speeding, cutting us off, etc., we say something like "Oh, poor guy, I bet he's takng his mother to the hospital." :D Try it with really annoying people. If you can empathize with them, they aren't so annoying.

Gosh. She sounds like a nightmare.
(November 7, 2009 - 6:43 pm)
Yikes. Something awful must have happened to her that day, she was probably really stressed.
Hey, that's really weird about you know what 'E' was gonna say. Sometimes I think I'm like that, but then I realize it's just déjà vu. :)

Wow Kit Kat, bad day! I would hate to have a teacher like that!
(November 7, 2009 - 9:24 pm)
Wow! Scary algebre teacher! So far, in algebra this year, we've only had one sub, and he was pretty fine, but he didn't know how to "do and undo" problems (i.e. the problem is "2x-1+3=8" So the first thing that was done to x (they called it the "story of x") was timesed by 2, so you divide the answer by 2. The answer is 4, so you take four and add one, because the second thing that happened to x was minus one, so to undo it, you add. So now you have 5. You minus 3 to undo add three, and get 2. x=2) Sorry, for boring you. Anyway, he couldn't do those problems. That's the only bad thing about that sub. He's pretty nice and easy-going! Oh, and about the future-predicting dreams, something will happen (that hasn't happened before, so it's not deja vu) and I swear that I've dreamed about it before or something! Weird, huh?

You just can't please some people. To make you happy again, I suggest watching "Fat" by "Weird Al" Yankovic. Then you might envision Weird Al as the substitute teacher. It's kinda mean, but it might work.

I would HATE to have a teacher like that! I'm SO sorry!
