Evie Cat, life, limits, moods, school, skin conditions, stress, the world is full of fucking idiots
Ok, so it’s only really late for me. I’m old, I know. Shut up.
I should already be snuggled up in bed with Evie Cat, but I’m not in a very good mood, so I’m trying to get a little more tired without my meds first.
I managed to get an appointment with the dermatologist. I’d have liked to see her sooner, but I already had other appointments when she had openings. So I’ll have to wait until the 29th. I’m actually kind of nervous about this and ended up asking Josh to go with me. I am way more than capable of seeing a doctor, even a dermatologist who might want to shave pieces off me with nothing to deaden the nerves, all by myself. But, there was talk of surgery yesterday and that just kind of freaks me out a bit.
Anyway, been dealing with that, which is good but scary, and been trying to deal with this fucking school business. And I think what I hate most is that I have allowed this bitch prof to get inside my head and make me feel like I can’t do this. BULLSHIT. Her “teaching style” sucks donkey balls. I’ll say it again, she’s got no business in a classroom and really no business being online. I actually ran into one of my classmates on campus the other day and she’s also a grad student and also having issues with this idiot.
I redid the thing I didn’t do right, now I just have the chapter in the book to read, 3 written assignments (worksheets from hell), and 2 discussion board replies. Which begs the question – precisely how late should I stay up tonight?
Mental in the Midwest 
Sounds like some busy times ahead! ((hugs)

It’s good that Josh is on your side when you have the appointment. I always feel bad vibrations when I have to see a doc… think they could discover “something”…

Most of the time I can deal with this shit on my own, no problem. But this has so much potential for being really amazing or really shitty, and that just scares me.

That sounds terrifying and painful Mama, I’m not surprised you want to take Josh along. I’m a bloody coward and if it’s ever anything remotely serious then I need someone to hold my hand. You’re a strong, brave woman though and I know you’ll get through whatever they throw in your direction. Keep us posted missus and sending much love your way xxx

Thanks hon. When I’m faced with stress like this my brain doesn’t always work right and I forget to ask questions that I should or I forget the answers, which is not at all good when dealing with medical stuff. I will definitely keep everyone up to date on what’s going on, but I promise not to post any pictures. 😉

Geez, that’s a whole lot of to-do’s for one class this early in the semester. Grad course or not! Teaching methods aren’t the only thing that suck apparently. Hang in there. You can do this. Even if you are old. You’re still not as old as me. 😉

Thanks. 🙂 She has incredibly unrealistic expectations, and every assignment is worth 5 points regardless of how much work is involved. I have every intention of being brutally honest on her end of semester evaluation.

I’ve run into a few of those in my place of employment. They just don’t get it. And they don’t seem to care too much about what student evaluations say either. At least here, student evaluations are now part of regular evaluation, so if you are constantly making students feel like they’re beating their heads on the wall, you at least have to explain yourself. But yeah, definitely give your opinions. She needs to rethink things. Geez!

I always thought Sesame Street should expand its vocabulary lessons a bit more….
I remember the cunt from hell I had for a stupid anthropology class in college. Everybody in the class hated this bitch’s guts… her assignments were near impossible. Perhaps not coincidentally, she was the only prof I ever had who did not have class evaluation forms to hand out at the end of the year…. she said if we had any eval comments to merely write them on the back of our final exam papers. Yeah, whatever, bitch. So much for confidentiality and freedom from retaliation. We were so pissed, because we all planned on nailing her ass to the wall on our evaluations…

Whoa, that’s ridiculous. I think they’re required where I work. I know they use them for tenure. Maybe she already had tenure and didn’t give a fuck. It’s sad that some of them get like that.
I know for a fact that this twat doesn’t have tenure yet because one of her discussion board examples mentioned it. HA!

Definitely take Josh! No way would I be doing that alone. That totally sucks about the prof as well. But don’t let her get inside your head. I’m going to repeat the very good advice you gave to me very recently “do one thing every day that makes you feel really capable.” 😉 Also, perhaps make a dart board with a picture of her face on it.

Thanks sweetie. Last night I sketched again, and it did make me feel better. I’m hoping that I’m able to stick to a slightly more regular schedule this week as I know that always helps. 🙂
