“Holding to an ordinary notion of self, or ego, is the source of all our pain and confusion. The irony is that when we look for this “self” that we’re cherishing and protecting, we can’t even find it.”

rant/fun fact about me: what teachers think of me

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 22:17:46 -0700

The latter is easily solved by asking the teacher questions. They like to feel that you still need them and their knowledge of the subject. Good teachers make the class challenging regardless of individual work ethics/abilities. And as long as it doesn’t seem like you’re trying to stump them, they tend to get a kick out of how adept you are. I’ve had this problem too. Some teachers you just have to write off as insecure.

lajoiedevivre:

teachers of mine usually think one of two things about me.

usually, they love me. they usually think I try a little too hard, worry a little too much. but I get good grades and they know how hard I’m working for them. I like being someone who works hard and does well because of that hard work. And I like for teachers to like me and respect me and think of me that way. And usually they do.

but sometimes, they misunderstand me. Sometimes they somehow miss how hard I’m working and think I do well without trying, and am kind of, i don’t know, stuck up about it. Because i tend to talk in classes that I’m good and and have friends in and I’m happy when I do well. And if they don’t know how hard I work for my success, they don’t like me. They think I’m kind of conceited and take for granted that I’m decently intelligent. And I hate it, because I am working hard in those classes, they just don’t see the hours of studying I’m doing. I’m all for making things look easy, but not to teachers. Not when it makes them have a vendetta against me to deflate my imagined ego.

my art teacher at the end of high school totally thought that about me at times, although I think she eventually did see that it wasn’t true. And I feel like one of my professors this year thinks that, and I have a midterm in that class tomorrow and I’m just kind of upset that he doesn’t like me. (or so I think).

well, I have to go study.

This scene irritates me so badly. Could they not find a baby with green eyes? It explicitly says several times that he has green eyes. GREEN. And his hair is not dark enough, or thick enough. But thats not as important as the eyes. She stressed the green!

omg they didn’t get the eyes right? omg omg omg how terrible

In other news:

Arizona man runs down daughter for becoming ‘Westernized’

Boston terror suspect planned to kill officials, attack mall

but really omg that’s so sad that they didn’t get the eyes right i’m so sorry

-.- Now, those stories are terrible and all… But this seriously irritates me. xD But, not as much as my mom if that’s any consolation?

You’re gonna pull the whole ’ there are bigger things to be annoyed by’ with those stories? Beyond random. Also, most white babies are born with blue eyes that later change at about age 2 to whatever color they’re supposed to be. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a baby with green eyes. So this is technically still accurate. We can all move on now.
