I might be the biggest retard ever. Remember how I was complaining that Wiki got lazy & was only showing half the chapters in each volume of Bleach? Well....apparently there's these things called columns......and now there are two for each volume, takes up less vertical space and all...
I need a vacation.
6 schools, 2 private lessons, and 1 meeting left & I seriously might not make it.
On 2 of the past 3 days I've almost lost my temper at someone I was teaching. The third day, I wasn't teaching anyone, so it almost doesn't count. I like teaching. Mostly. But sometimes......well, Iruka-sensei has the same problem.....
I'm not overly patriotic, but it seems I have less and less patience for people who stereotype all Americans as conceited idiots who think they have to police the world. I'm well aware that some people who think that actually exist. However, I'm getting pretty sick of defending myself as not being one of them simply because I happened to be born in the same general vicinity. And even more tired of having to explain that where I'm from everyone's different from everyone else (and that's not just in the US, I'm pretty damn sure...) and that, no, I don't know what "all Americans" think b/c I can't read minds. If we all thought the same thing we wouldn't be American, we'd be Borg. As we are not, I cannot tell you what "we" think.
I'm also not particularly concerned with whether every single kid in every single class I teach is hanging on my every word, that would be unrealistic, but......I have hardly any patience left for entire classes of 6th graders who talk over me. The entire 45 minutes I'm with them. And even less for their teachers who do nothing about it. Ignoring a disruptive kid to get him to stop is one thing, standing in the middle of a circus and pretending you believe it's a classroom is just stupid. Righteous Iruka-style anger is one thing, Kakashi really isn't something you people want to see me turn back into.....let's try to get our shit together, shall we?
Hell is other people...
