Bad Teachers

Rachel:

I had a horrible day today. I had two tutorials and one class. I have a really bad teacher who is a total chauvinist (not naming names so I don't get kicked out of the school/sued for defamation). My tutorials are full of people who love to hear themselves talk. And we have to do tons of group work (aka my personal hell). I’m just exhausted from today. I can’t even think about getting a job right now. I have to buy a lot of books for school too, and I can’t find them second hand so it’s been frustrating. I’m sure I’ll have to spend $250-300 on books this term alone, which is frustrating when you try to save little bits here and there, just to lose it on textbooks. AND there is yard duty at high school, which is retarded! I can’t believe it. I just really don’t want to talk about school anymore.

We got a text message from the Victorian Police yesterday, warning us about the severe weather of today (crazy windy, extra extra windy, really hot 32C and weird rain on and off all day). Apparently it only rained 2mm, which is bizarre because I feel like it rained more than that.

I called Barbara, my mom’s friend, today and I’ll go see her next week because I am two overwhelmed to do anything extra. George, my friend from Contiki, called so I’m hoping that we can meet up soon.

Here’s hoping the rest of my school will be better. I just want to teach and not have to sit through this garbage to learn how to do something I already feel like I know how to do. I was thinking today that they probably just have to do this (an education program) to make people believe that competent people are teaching their children. I did learn some things but honestly, you have to go through a lot of garbage first.
