Seriously Mary? You're No Virgin.

END OF THE SEMESTER! 

Huzzah, I made it. It has been such an awful

semester. One of the hardest I have had. I know I 

say that at the end of each semester, but this time,

I truly mean it. Not only was it the semester from Hell,

but I am 100% convinced that one of my professors 

H-A-T-E Hates me. I have had two separate 

issues with this teacher. I guess I probably deserve 

both of the e-mails I received from her...

but it appears that she goes out of her way to 

get under my skin. 

First confrontation:

In ALL of my Distance Learning classes there is this 

student at the Meridian campus, let's call her Dirka-Dirka.

She is one of the Non-Traditional students. Now I don't have

anything against Non-Traditional students, I adore them. Proud that 

they want to better their lives by furthering their education.

ANYWAY, Dirka-Dirka has to make comments during every class

period. And not just comments, but comments that have

nothing to do with the topic at hand. It is extremely 

annoying. 10+ comments per class period. 

It is irritating because she says things that don't even 

benefit the class and the professor just allows these

unnecessary comments. The whole class

complains about her comments, on both campuses, 

yet the professor does nothing and will allow

each interruption.

So, I was the foolish one and took matters 

into my own hands. During class after Dirka-Dirka 

made her 15th comment for the class period, I chimed in

and politely said "Shut the hell up!" Obviously

that was not the right thing to do...2 days later I receive an 

e-mail from the professor.

"Jacob, it has been brought to my attention that there 

was a very mean comment made by you directed towards 

another student. That was both unprofessional and hurtful. 

I hope that during your holiday break, you make amends with 

this individual and have learned from your mistake."

I'll give her that one, I should have approached the situation 

differently, but in my defense, after an entire semester of hearing her

comments, and seeing the professor ALLOW all of the comments

even after several students have complained, I felt it was 

appropriate to take matters into my own hands. 

Do I regret this? Nope. Next time Dirka-Dirka, Imma be

a bitch about it. 

Second Confrontation:

Grades are being posted for the semester. I receive the following 

e-mail from the same professor...

"You earned a total of 92.24 points in the course. I looked

at your activity log for the semester and was disappointed 

to see that you viewed very few additional materials. Therefore, I will not

be rounding your grade up."

ADDITIONAL material..that is NOT required. I swear she 

hates me or is finding any reason to get under my skin.

If I get into ISU's Audiology Doctoral Program, she 

is going to be such a pain in my ass.

Well at the end of the semester, I am proud to announce

that I received 7 A's 3 A-'s and 1 Satisfactory for an

overall GPA of 3.81. Not gonna lie, that feels so good. 

Well enjoy a photo of a dinosaur mounting a dinosaur mounting a dinosaur.
