This monstrosity

This monstrosity we call a teacher is getting on my nerves. I can't seem to shake it off. Once I open my chemistry book, I think of her. When I usually study, I tend to feel very sleepy. Now, when I study chemistry, I just feel restless. I walk out of the room like a zombie and I FEEL like one at that. I went to the kitchen and didn't know why I went there. There wasn't anything for me to eat to de-stress. It all began last friday. SHE went around taking our wallets because our files were not done properly. Okay... but she severely hurt the pride of one of my friends. What did she do I didn't know exactly. But I did hear something about taking away her rank. Doesn't she know that there is absolutely nothing in relation with your school work and your CCA rank? After school we went to find her to get our files, to know what was wrong with them. Huishan had her file done and went to her. SHE refused her file and told her to wait for everybody to finish before she could go as she had cut the queue. However, there was no queue. She expected huishan to wait for everybody to finish before going home, before she could even present her file to HER. Then she wanted us to check the files of another class for her. She claimed that we made her do extra work for us, she would have to make us do extra work for her. Seeing the pile of files that was in front of us, I suspect that she didn't even check the files for us. Was marking corrections extra work? Does she even know what was required for teachers? Putting aside the requirements, does she even know what teachers were expected to do? Shouldn't she be taking lessons from our geog teacher? Heck, and I didn't even know she pinned up the content page on the notice board for us to copy. And there she says I give her extra work to do. Anyway, I finished my share of the files and went to her, politely. Me and another girl went in after her to get our belongings. She got out the box which had scotch tape marks. She said that we should only get our belongings back when everyonoe was done. 'See, once i tear this, the box is spoiled already.' I was thinking, never mind, I could come back later to get my stuff because I was supposed to have NP which was later cancelled. That was lucky because knowing her, she would think of me as a defiant student and would not let me have my belongings until after the last person was done, which was after 7pm. That's what's wrong with her, her pride. In the classroom that day, she scolded a girl for using her phone. She made her cry. Yes, she did that, but she didn't even look a bit sorry for that. That girl was the same girl I went in the staff room with. SHE began lecturing BOTH of us in the staff room about using our phones in class. She opened her eyes as if they could shoot daggers at us. She looked at her, then she looked at me, then she looked at her again. This carried on for quite a while. When we finally got back our belongings, she asked us to show her those were ours. She found out who I was. Then she said slowly, 'Wei Qi ah... Your chemistry is not very good ah...' I looked down. Yes, I looked down. Was I supposed to retaliate that I only didn't do well for chemical calculations and keep my friend back too? That wouldn't be a very nice thing to do. For all I know, she might be in a hurry to get home. So I did what I had to do. Which was not very nice for me but was right. After that last statement, we went out of the staff room. Someone was still standing there. She stood up to HER just now and was made to stand there non-productively. I forgot what she said but SHE just didn't want to tolerate students who could not stand her methods. It's a two-way thing. She just could not tolerate with the fact that she could be wrong. Take for example all the things that she has done to her students. She reprimanded us for being late. She reprimanded another class for not knowing they had practical that day and for goiong down late at that. Yet another class was punished by her for not bringing their books. She did not give chances. What she claimed was chances was what other teachers consider as necessities when they themselves were at fault. So in other words, her mistakes were our chances. She shows no compassion. When she talks to us, she intimidates us. She makes us feel like we are a bunch of people that are not at her standard. She uses her 'dagger shooting' eyes to her advantage. That is her tool and she doesn't hesitate to operate it 24/7. However, her downfall would be her pride. She doesn't take no for answers. What she does has to be right. She holds to her so-called honour. She doesn't give leeways to students when they do something she doesn't want done. Just because she made a rule on the first lesson, we have to comprehend and abide by it. She doesn't even keep to the rules sometimes. She always says she was held up, but when our teachers release us late for her lesson, she would 'confront' them. She thinks that by standing firmly by her rules, she is full of principle and would be honourable. Well honour is not gained by that. An honourable person is someone who is respected. She doesn't have her students' respect, that I can safely say.

Revamped, Refurbished!

Yes! I neglected my homework to refurbish this. Currently, I still have around 60 questions left for my TYS. This is bad... Seriously bad... Nevertheless, I shall not give up the fight against homework. I even stayed home today instead of accompanying them to the fireworks display, but that was because I was so exhausted that I didn't even feel like waking up to watch TV. And here I am in the wee hours of the morning typing relentlessly. Heck! I just realised I've been listening to the same song for the past half hour! I really wonder how I'm going to memorise facts and songs for common test and the upcoming ATC. Just recently, a chinese phrase has popped up into my head. San1 fen1 zhong1 re4 du4. This phrase has indeed made me realise just how it is applicable to me. I realised that I haven't been helping out in the ORD proposal after they've cancelled the FDC, although I don't really think that's a factor in this dismissed thought from my head. Then there comes the recently received maths sums. I was really into doing the sums the day before. However, ever since I finished drawing (and re-drawing by accident) the graphs, I don't feel like continuing with it anymore. Maybe I should gone for the fireworks display... Nahhh...
