All Clear and now its Friday

I talked to the prof and she just wanted to make sure I was getting things. It didn't take me very long, I'd missed how to put together the syntax when I wasn't in class last week. Once I saw that and how to pick search terms better it all really fell into place.

Her tone in the emails was hard and she did not quite yell but be kind of firm at me during the meeting, like making me state things instead of questioning when I told her what to put down. I think that's her way and it is useful just again, its not the easiest style of teaching. So I'm going to redo the assignment this weekend if I can find the time if not early next week, send it to her and then move on to this week's.

I'm feeling better about things, but I woke up with my back hurting so I'm going to try and relax as much as I can for the rest of today. That means enjoying the really nice 5 bucks from Borders to buy a cheap CD and RPing into the evening along with filling prompts.

Also work was incredibly quiet, which was nice. It was annoying that I was up just slightly too late to grab my morning tea but that's not a big deal.

Thanks for all the helpful advice and support, I needed it.

Phew. I'm glad that worked out for you.

I think sometimes teachers have no clue how they come across to students. It's a power thing, for sure, but it's also so ingrained in the way they teach that they can't ever be the ones to change. I remember so much of that from when I was an education major, and it's part of what turned me off from a teaching career.

Oh yes, I think she's been told about her tone since in the first class she said that she's rude. Then did this kind of if I try to be nice, its fakey nice so I don't do it a lot. I think what makes it hard is it feels like its less her tone and that she doesn't respect us. That's something that's trickier to get across, that line between being honest and being patronizing.

I also thought about teaching at one point, it was the bureaucracy that I had to wade through that turned me off it.

**hugs you**

Thank you, hugs are wonderful.

Oh fun idea, maybe Urq can go back with Moist when he confronts angry farmers sometime and there can be Urq on the Disc. We need to do that at some point.

[yakalskovich]

Oh yes, that sounds like a very, very interesting idea...

[ceitfianna]

Yes, and ack, those belated OOMs need to be posted. I think they're both on Urq's journal but I'm glad to post them if you're busy.

I love the idea of them on the Disc, we should do it soon.

I'm glad things worked out and I'm sorry the teacher is so difficult to get along with.

[ceitfianna]

Sadly, I think that's just how she is, but its only one class so I'll get through it.

Glad to hear things turned out okay. :)

And at least you get to redo the assignment!

[ceitfianna]

Yes, I was going to offer to redo it if given a chance so it worked out. I'm enjoying actually being able to relax a bit.

Whew! I'm really glad to hear things got sorted out with a minimum of awfulness for you. *hugs you*

[ceitfianna]

Thank you, once I got there things went well. Its just her teaching style isn't easy at all, but its one class and I'll get through it. That's a beautiful cloud icon.
