another epic wednesday Three weeks into the semester and I'm already thinking about spring break. That isn't to say that I dislike my classes. What am I am complaining about would be the lack of sleep that has become a regular fixture of my life. All that I want is five hours in a solid block. The people in my internship continue to surprise and delight me. Today the woman from Poland came up to me and shoved a notebook into my chest. She said, "Write figure it out." At first this didn't make sense to me and I had to ask her to repeat what she wanted. Then once I was sure that that was what she wanted, I wrote those three words on the page. This was quickly followed by a request to write the phrase "pissed me off" which I did for her. My best guess is that I had provided ammunition in some kind of argument as she returned to her seat and typed away in an email window. Another student struggled with phrasal verbs and prepositions and I did my best to explain the answers that he needed to complete the quiz. By the time that I got to class on the east side, my head was in overdrive. All of the events from the morning were still there and when I found out that we were going to be doing group work for the second half of the class period, I quietly revolted. I didn't want to discuss theory or hypothetical scenarios, I wanted to talk about what I had seen and done mere hours before I got there. |
