imitation

Well... yesterday, I was just tickled... JUST tickled. In speech class (yes, the class with Kelsey and eye-candy), one of the funniest things happened. For my portfolio speech (yes, the last one and ONLY A one), I started out by addressing the class and several specific people by saying sorry... you know, for making them sit through a 9 minute speech, for bashing Kelsey's speech, and for falling asleep during speeches... It got a good bit of laughs. Well, yesterday, this guy named David started his speech out THE EXACT SAME WAY. You have no idea. He was like, "I'd like to say sorry to you guys for a few things." I was so tickled. This guy... "creatively borrowing" from my speech. I was so flattered.

I also carried on a little conversaton with eye-candy yesterday! A few of us were talking about how hard Mrs. Raj grades, and eye-candy said, "She hates me." I found out that eye candy had gotten grades similar to mine: low Bs and finally an A on the portfolio. So, maybe I don't suck at speaking as bad as I thought. Maybe Mrs. Raj is jut a really hard grader. Eye-candy gave some really good speeches...

But THEN... yesterday at Seneca Middle, I wanted to truck a bitch over. Okay... so, students in ED F 334, Childhood Growth and Development, have to do a service learning project. Just like I had to do it last year. LAST YEAR... meaning that it is a sophomore class... well, the students came to Seneca Middle to do their project yesterday. Most of the girls that were there were cool... you know... normal 19/20 year old girls, just doing their class assignment. Well, this one bitch, who is obviously like 30 ('cause she looks utterly tragic), was there. You know... the late bloomer... who probably got out of high school and got married right away and then realized, "Yes, I'm tragic and my life is not going anywhere." So, she is in college now... obviously a sophomore. Well, this girl was tryin' to run shit. OMG, I got so pissed. I go to that school every Tuesday and Thursday of EVERY week of the semester. She only had to go one day a week for 10 weeks, and she thought that she was important!!! Ugh. She was talking to the kids like she ran the joint, when Mrs. Patterson is the ONLY person that TRULY runs the program. I don't know what that lady was trynna do... If she thought I was one of the middle schoolers or a high schooler... I mean, I have a beard and drive a car with a CLEMSON CAMPUS RESIDENT STICKER ON IT! Anyway, all the cool 19/20 year old girls left our old and nappy headed 30 something sophomore to clean up everything (this is another reason why they are cool) once their litte "field day" was over. And she had the nerve to say this to Mrs. Patterson: "We are the only 2 adults left. Can you believe they left?" Well, you know... they say that hindsight is 20/20. Well, in my hindsight, I should have spoken up and set her straight and told her that I was an adult too... or I should have just started running around the room acting like a little kid since that's what she thought I was. But no. I did the GROWN UP thing and helped them clean up the room. Without her acknowledging me at all. It's people like her that I hate. Stuck up people who are nothing special at all that have no right at ALL to be downing anyone else. I am a JUNIOR. She is a SOPHOMORE. I don't care how old she is... she started college late... I am further along in my studies than her and if she is gonna disrespect me, then I have the right to disrespect her back. I will have a degree AND a job before her and she could potentially be MY student teacher. She had NO right to be as big an asshat as she was. See... it's shit like this that makes me the gangsta that I am turning into. I have no shame anymore... when people do stuff that pisses me off, that gives me license to go off on them.

So I told Nick, that I'll probably end up getting fired as soon as I get a job for telling off an older sorority alumnus teacher at the school I end up teaching in. Judging from the snotty attitudes of some of these ed majors, I am not going to get along with many. I don't care though. I'll be there for the students, not the 30-something women who have husbands bringing home all the money so they teach so they won't be stuck at home bored all day long. But seriously, I need to get over these types of people since I'll be working with them. But while I'm still in college and a "preservice-teacher," I will break a piece off for a bitch.

In other news, Kelsey, the Tri-Delt... I like her. I think she is a really nice girl now. She speaks whenever she sees me, and I do the same. I just wanted all my readers to know. I'm not bitter to everyone. Some people think she's stuck up and bratty, but I think that she is better than most of her sisters and some other sorority girls. But my speech was still better... LOL.
