Winner for rudest student....

My first period class is just plain icky. They are whiny, negative, rude, immature, and constantly cop and attitude. I've had it, totally over it. But this morning one of those shining stars hit a new low... I'm sitting at my desk at 6:45AM (it's bad enough that I'm at work at that unGodly hour) furiously grading the 125 tests/essays that were turned in yesterday (3 days before finals) when a student saunters over to my desk with his ipod blaring in his ears and a doo-rag oh-so-fashionably tied around his head and has the AUDACITY to ask "what'd I get on my test?" (Keep in mind all of these were turned in/completed yesterday and I only have 2 hands) When I chuckled and said, I'm flattered you think there's anyway I could have gotten all of this grading done in one evening but I have no idea what you got on your test because it hasn't been graded. Are you ready for this.... he then looks at me like I have three heads and says, "What?!?! What were you doing all day yesterday then?!?!?!" Oh I about lost it- "EXCUSE ME? Are you trying to piss me off so that I'll grade your test for every little thing you could have possibly lost points for? Or do you want to walk out right now and come back later with a better, more respectful, polite attitude? Or do you even know how to act like that? Now Get out right now and don't be late to class." And that was only the beginning... first period hadn't even started yet.... 4 more days.

I see the light...

Only one full week of classes left, and then four days of final exams (3 of those are half days) until Christmas break!!!! This has been a crazy, but wonderful semester... but I am so looking forward to two weeks off (actually only 13 days, but that's a whole different blog... stupid county calendar!)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
