Bipolar
Here I am, one week after my crazy breakdown, and happier than ever.
Why is it that this always happens? I'm almost alway happy, but when something goes wrong, it goes completely wrong. Sometimes it picks right back up, like it did in this case, and sometimes it doesn't. I feel like I've let a lot of people down the past 2 weeks, as I haven't been at GYM. The thing is though, I've become so busy, that I want to spend my Wednesdays AT HOME. I'm sick of running around. I've been busy with all kinds of things, both school related and unrelated.
But I feel things smoothing out now. Everything is much better now.
But, I feel I must rant on my Algebra teacher, since I haven't been very interesting in my recent posts.
If it's one thing I utterly dread about some teachers, is that some of them think that calling students' parents and updating them on their progress in class is a genius idea that will always lead to improvement. Mrs. McNeil is one of those teachers that cares way too much, but is also very...what's the word...unprofessional. Now, I'm not saying she doesn't teach well. I'm not saying that she doesn't act like a teacher. But there are times when her sense of mindset is...odd. She thinks that she is intimidating and can scare us into doing our work.
But she can't.
She thinks that she can be funny with us, and if we don't agree with her humor, she can intimidate us.
...But she can't.
She has become another teacher that bothers me in the way she carries herself. She seems so out of place. She's from Abilene, so she's probably used to hick kids who all have parents that will jump at the sound of a phone call. I mean, who calls someone's parents during the 2nd week of the six weeks? Mrs. McNeil does. Maybe I'm just being sour about this, but she has randomly decided to call once I start to do better, which has caused me to look bad instead. I hate when people have bad timing.

I feel apathetic towards Ms. McNeil. She's not my fave, but she's most def not the worst teacher ever. She's just one of those nice ladies who's used to being cordial.
