Ok, I won't be getting to anything at home for Maintenance Monday... but does this count, I will be finishing up the paper that was due yesterday and starting the "Big" one that is due this coming weekend. Can you say, procrastinate!! I have a lot of anxiety when I write, grammar, punctuation, my thoughts are so jumbled, lack of organizational skills and the list goes on. I am seriously thinking about starting over my English classes. My teachers were not the best and I don't know that I really learned what I needed to know.
My first teacher was more interested in our "feelings" in our writing and my next class, well that teacher made me cry! Ugghh!! Yep, that's right, she made me cry. I already had some anxiety and the teacher I began the class with quit after 5 weeks and the new teacher was full of herself. I explained my anxiety to her and asked if she was willing to help me with some extra guidance. HA!!! She told me what did I think, was I still in kindergarten, did I want her to write my papers for me, all the work you have done for the last 5 weeks I am not counting and you will have to redo it all... and this was in front of the entire class, hence the tears. Why do people like that even teach?!
Anyways, see what I mean by my thoughts being all over the place... ;) If you read this blog, you know what I am talking about. :) Anyways, just in case I dont make back on here to tell you all... Have a great Thanksgiving and enjoy one another!
I am so thankful that I have met you all and consider myself very blessed!
God Bless and Happy Thanksgiving!

Oh, that's horrible, Windy! Is it too late to drop your class?
Why would she not count the work you did before she took over? What an old so-and-so.
Pooey on her, who does she think she is? I'd complain to the Dean! Everyone deserves respect.
In the mean time keep on trucking dear, you will get through it and you will be the winner in the end. The old hag. There...I feel better.
Ooooo I just want to go tell her off. Is she a teacher or a bully? You hang in there, Windy. And if it makes you feel any better, I too had a college writing instructor who made me cry. Then I got mad. I made a special point to talk to him in private and told him what I thought. At the end, I said something like I don't mean to offend you, but you need to know how your attitude effects your paying students. He said, "It was a mere glancing blow." Jacka**!
Happy Thanksgiving, Windy!
Ignore that horrible person. That is not a teacher, it is an anti-teacher. Her job is to make you feel confident, strong and successful, not to squash you for her own ego.
We are all so proud of you, of what you are aiming for and your hard work and effort. You will get there and ignorant people like that teacher will not hold you back. When you are a successful teacher in the future, you will remember her negative attitude and it will help you to be a better teacher, kinder and more understanding. These experiences are bad, but they help to make us strong. Go for it girl and don't let idiots hold you back in any way.
Happy Thanksgiving.
