I apparently traveled back to High School in my Second Semester of Junior Year in College.
So my Adv. Crim class is one I have been looking forward too for a while, it’s taught by my FAVE teacher (literally this man could be teaching about literal shit and somehow make it fun and interesting, he’s amazing!) ever and I am obsessed with criminology. So, duh, I have been looking forward to the class, 10/10 excited.
So I get to class today and the teacher asks “How excited are you to be in class today?” and of coarse I hold up both hands showing all 10 fingers because I am 10/10 excited! Everyone thinks I’m crazy but whatever, it’s the truth. Made the teacher laugh and call me an outlier.
Then near the end of class (about 20min from the end, and we have 2hr long classes mind you so it’s been a while) he asks how much we wanna get outta class and leave. Most people are at 5, some 8′s going around. I didn’t answer because I didn’t wanna get looks again. So he asks “Is there alone that’s below a 5?” that’s when I answer, just raising my hand though not giving a number. Of coarse though, being the type of teacher he is that runs with any answer you give and makes you talk more, he asks me what the real number is.
SO I go with a 2, because I’m kinda hungry, but I don’t wanna leave because I love this class and my next one is in 4hrs and since I commute I have to wait those 4hrs in the DC or Lib and that’s boring as fuck! SO I would so rather be in this class then waiting there!
My teacher is just highly amused by this. I’ve had him before. He knows how enthusiastic I am about this subject and learning new things. However, I hear obvious whispers behind me (I sit in the front row so I can see, I have really bad eyesight) of “teachers pet” and the like.
Really? Just because I like this class? I don’t need or want to be the teachers pet. 1) I hate social interaction and have severe social anxiety 2) I get good grades that I work hard for. My grades speak for themselves. I don’t need to be a teachers pet to get them, and I don’t want to be because of my social anxiety. If my teachers like me, it’s usually because they like my enthusiasm and that I do well in the class.
Sorry that I’m enthusiastic about the subject and actually like learning unlike you people, clearly.
Hell I’m just as enthusiastic in my Brain and Behavior class (and I hate biology, hate it!!!!) because I love learning and the teacher is amazing and hysterical!
Also, hell my main thing here, excuse me for actually enjoying the class that I pay a ludicrous amount of money to take!
Okay. That ended up being a rant when I’m not even angry. I dunno there is something amusing about this to me. like wth ya know?
I guess I missed some things in High School by being homeschooled. This is amusing. Whatever to them though, I’ll wear that title with pride. If liking class makes me a teachers pet, then sure, I’m a teachers pet.
Can’t believe this happened in college though, every time I think college is removed from high school, something reminds me that nope, these kids are still in high school sometimes. smh.
