I have all kinds of random stuff I�d like to bitch about right now, but I don�t really have time. Could I just say, though, that I think colleges ought to warn you which teachers have mental disorders like extreme paranoia, obsessive-compulsive personality, terminal bitchiness and difficulty with oral expression? Suffice it to say that I loathe my new page layout teacher... and I only say loathe because I am too fucking tired to think up a nastier word that might better express my extreme lack of regard for this person.

Since I transferred into her class late, I�m having to bust my ass to catch up and she is giving me no slack whatsoever. Because it wouldn�t be �fair� to the rest of the class to give me more time to complete the assignment... like it�s fair to me to make me complete it in about a third of the time as everyone else?

She also has some very weird ideas about how to run her class, and even my former instructor warned me that she cuts no slack whatsoever on the projects... everything has to be absolutely detail perfect or she marks it off.

I hate this class anyway�having an ass-munch for a teacher is just what I didn�t need.

I needed a break from the stupid project, so I nabbed this from LA. Why not grab it for your own self and see what you are lucky (or unlucky) enough to have in common with me?

Instructions:

1. Copy this whole list into your journal.

2. Bold the things that you have in common with me.

3. Whatever you don't bold, replace with things about you. Take note, ALL 100 are about me, the bold ones I have in common with LA. You bold what you have in common with me then make up new things about YOU for the rest. *All italicized comments are mine. ~Amy
