RAWR!

I know that in order to be a teacher, one must have patience. Not all of us do. I consider myself as a patient person. Especially when it comes to children.

Adults- not so much. Remember a few post back I wrote about higher education not being for everyone and I ranted about two older ladies. Well this post is about them.. AGAIN.

I don't know if its because this course is given at 6pm, but it seems like every time the class meets, they find some way to annoy me, and the rest of the class.

Last night, professor was sharing her knowledge about homemade paint and all sorts of things one can do to allow their students to create art. All i hear was oooo's and aaaaaaa's and woooooww!!! Followed by questions such, as, "can you do that again?, Can you repeat once more(5th time) how you make this? Where did you learn ALL of this? Is there a book where you would find all of this???"

Seriously, all we were doing is adding food coloring to pudding, shaving cream and cornstarch, we added a pack of kool-aid to warm water to create water colors. That was it. nothing big nothing crazy..

I wanted to yell at her, and tell her it wasnt rocket science, that anyone with a little imagination and creativity could come up with this stuff and much more.

The same lady proceeds to annoy the heck out of me because the two individuals who sit in front of her were ignoring her.

There is a sign up sheet going around, we have to do fieldwork at a museum. The sign up got around the front somehow skipping these old ladies. When one of them realized that the people in front of them had it, they made a big commotion and kept saying, "hello, can we see that? we didnt get the sheet can we have it? yoooohoooo, hey, you guys can we have the sheet we didnt get to sign up yet"

It got so annoyed that I turned around and said, "they'll give it to you as soon as they are done!"
i snapped. it was so rude and annoying. She wasn't the only one that got skipped, but the others weren't being as annoying as her about it. ugh. all she said was "oh ok." Her face was that of a shock. I don't talk to people in my classes unless I have to. I keep to myself. I participate in class discussion, but I consider that just a a conversation with the professor. So I understand the look on her face, as well as the people who had the sign up sheet.

I had just about had it with them. My annoyance isnt that they are old. I sit next to a lady as old as they are in another one of my classes and she doesn't act that way. We share notes, we discuss, and we are even presenting together at the end of the month. So you see, I don't hate all OLD people who go to school. It is just the one s who are not willing to adapt. They are stubborn and their excuse is, "well there wasn't all of this when i was young."

AH! Ok I am Done!
