My Random Blogging Therapy
I had to read all these papers to make sure they followed APA format for the APP 101 class. It was PAINFUL!!!. Editing at the Herald Journal was tedious but AT LEAST they knew how to write. Mistakes were either careless typos or style mistakes or not adhering to AP format-yeah ANOTHER format!!! THEN I helped this one girl who tries very hard but EVERY sentence was wrong. How is that even possible!!! She was plural where she should've been singular, put apostrophes where she shouldn't and consistently used the WRONG TENSE!!! She liked to mix tenses AND a sentence would begin plural then end singular. I thought why the hell am I doing this if it's not going to be enforced in the other courses???!!! I printed a copy of her paper with my corrections that took me OVER AN HOUR to do and went to complain to the Dean. If that was my job fine BUT IT'S NOT!!! It's not MY FAULT they had to fire their teachers. My lunch relief person teaches the APP 101 class so he heard me ranting AND raving about how I'm NOT an English teacher. I didn't go to lunch until after 3pm when I was LIVID. When I was done I emailed her my corrections written in red or highlighted in yellow, printed a copy for the dean and had him read it. I told him I didn't like doing that. Yesterday one of the students gave me her paper to correct. It was after 5pm. She asked if I would read it later last night. I told her NOOO I don't read papers once I'm off work BUT that I would read it today which I did. When I left to lunch Chris went to talk to my dean. My complaining bothered him a lot and Bryan my dean said they could do another component like business letters. After lunch I felt bad. Chris told me the students have the choice of several people to get to read their papers but that they chose me to do it. I wasn't very nice. I told him yeah because your class is RIGHT BY THE LIBRARY!!! I felt bad so I apologized to Chris after lunch. He told me not to worry about it and that the change had been discussed before I blew up today.
I REALLY NEEDED WARD TEMPLE NIGHT!!!. I saw David at the temple but I was so exhausted I got out of there pretty quick. I wanted to see if he and Mindie had a chance to discuss my fhe suggestions but I was at the front and he was at the back and I didn't want to have to wait for him to show up in the celestial room AND if he had any sort of attitude with me this was definitely the WRONG time to confront that-ESPECIALLY in the celestial room. I may have my moments BUT he is the biggest drama king and consistently inconsistent. Who knows my suggestions could've offended him. EVERYTHING offends him that I do. Evil me takes some delight in that. Margaret Oak, Jonni and Camila were there too. ALL David fans of varying degrees. Knowing what I do now makes it even more annoying to watch his chronic flirting.
I'm getting all hostile again. I need to quit!!! FHE was fine on Monday. I'm very imperfect and I have many faults. I'm fault-finding a lot with him and he may deserve it but it doesn't do anyone harm but me.
Tomorrow is a CVLA meeting at North Logan Library. It's not until 1pm so I'll go to work first AND miss correlation meeting again. Yipee!!! I've missed them for 2 weeks, this will make 3!!! I looove our CVLA meetings.
