One Stray Pea

Can someone remind me why the world should be proud of Lindsay Lohan for being “so responsible” and getting help for her drinking problem….she’s not even old enough to drink. Society rewards bad behavior, I should’ve been a bad girl.

Now on to other things I can’t stand. ADULT STUDENTS! Anyone who has ever gone to college knows about this one. Everyone else in the class is content to sit there and listen to lecture, ask/answer questions when appropriate and sometimes get out 5 minutes early one Friday. But no, not you adult student, you sit there and ask questions that do not pertain to the actual lecture and THEN you ask 46 of these same types of questions and the next thing I know it’s 2:00 and we were supposed to get out at 1:50. You also have the nerve to actually read the book, what is that all about? And why do you tell so many stories? I feel like I’m in stupid story time with you people. Guess what? No one cares about: the time your daughter broke her ankle, how long you were in labor, what being a marine is all about, or buffalo cheese. Did you hear me, NO ONE CARES!!

This reminds me of a old, large woman who was in my Intro to Psych. class. She was always late, and coming from me, the Queen of Late, that says a lot. She would come in 10-15 minutes late with her rolling bookbag, and then she had to take two desks (you know the ones with the seat and desk attached) because she was too large to fit in the seat with the desk down. So class was something like 12:45 - 2:00. This lady walks in one day at like 1:50 and we’re all thinking, “there’s 10 minutes left, why did you even bother” and she says to the instructor (which translates to announced to the world) that she forgot what day it was and she went to her cardiologists office rather than class, and she got all the way there and the receptionist told her it was the wrong day before she realized she was missing class. And guess what? No one cared.
