[Potironette]

So, I've never been bullied in my life...except maybe by my mother but that's not the point. I get the sinking feeling my teacher's a bully '~'

Today the AP French teacher was handing out practice tests, and I suppose she mentioned not writing on them and I somehow missed it, but in any case, I thought I could write on that piece of paper.

We were going over the quiz from yesterday which I had utterly failed (it didn't count) and I unfortunately decided to take notes on the AP packets she was handing out.

She saw me and said something along the lines of "I hope you're not writing on the AP test."
I looked down and half-mumbled/half-spoke a "sorry, it's at the back of the packet though?"
And then she said: "If you're going to make a bloop like that you shouldn't sit in the front row where I can see you."
As she took the packet back I foolishly said "désolée."

Then she gave a mini-talk to the class about how we couldn't write on those papers and should be listening or something.

She gave me another packet (which ironically had someone's name written in pencil on it) and a minute or so later stared at me and said "put that pencil down before you write on the test again."
I wasn't sure if she was looking at me so I pointed to the pencil and said "this?"
She said yes and I stuffed it into my bag.

At the end of the class she said to me: "You should wake up. You aren't listening in class. You don't listen in class."

I never thought I'd cry because of a teacher :<.
And since I can't drop out of French class, I wonder how I'm going to survive the rest of it. Should I consider sitting in the back of the class where I can't see the board? It's just until the end of June though. Also, we don't learn anything in class anyway.

The teacher's always been rather snappish/mean to everyone. I feel like I get affected too much. Yesterday someone had told my teacher about a mistake on her quiz. Today she went up to the person and told them that they shouldn't have made such a big deal out of it because she "would have found it anyway."

One good benefit to this class though, is that I realize I don't like French enough that if a teacher kills my enthusiasm for it I won't stick with it.


(Although, on the bright side, being unhappy about French class makes me that much more grateful for the rest of my classes. Heck, today I even thought that history class was fun--and I've never really, really thought about it that way before except a little)

TLDR: Ranting about French class.
