Yo no estupido- durrrrr
About a half hour ago in my spanish class we were doing an activity where the professor would show us a piece of paper with a phrase in spanish that we had to then act out in front of the class.
Now, this is my 5th year of spanish, so I pretty much know more spanish than anybody in that class. There's only a handful of kids who have had spanish before.
So what phrase do I get? "Going on vacation." Now, who's going to be able to act that out? I looked at her and I said, "I really don't know what to do for this one" and in the background I hear, "that's because your stupid."
Now, I know the professor didn't hear, because after I said I didn't know how to act the phrase out, she said, "I guess this is a really tough one" and wound up just telling the class what it was.
Now, back to the part about my stupidity. Pardon my FRENCH, but you're an asshole, buddy. I'd like to take a trip to Mexico with whoever said that and see who can communicate with the locals. He's up shit creek with no paddles if he has to ask where a bathroom is.
Donde el bathroomo won't cut it, sorry.
I don't understand why people feel the need to insult others, whom they don't even know, to make themselves look suave. Had I thought about it I would have snapped some smart alec comment back to him that used intelligence to make him feel like the lowly speck he is. Sorry, I'm upset!
I guess I really shouldn't be upset by such a childish comment; but please do not call me stupid when you don't even know me. It just really irked me, that's all.
This is the first time I've ever witnessed something to juvenile at SHU. Nobody has ever made fun of me for anything before during my time here...I feel like I'm in middle school again, really!
I should have said, "I know you are but what am I?" hah.
Really, I guess I was just taken aback. We're in COLLEGE now people. I know the majority of you who read this would never even think about calling somebody stupid under your breath (which it turned out to be much louder than that), but if you do think about it just don't bother wasting your time on negativity. It brings everybody down and just makes you stand out as the immature loser you really are!
I'm really hostile, man! Way to put me in a bad mood. I don't even know who it was, I acted like I didn't even here him. I know it's one of four slacker guys who sit in the back quad of computers.
Did I mention the professor has to beat an answer out of them every class...and I'M STUPID?
Well, I think I'm done ranting about something so immature, it's a waste of my time I guess.
I'm going to go have a cancer stick now. (Any pointers on quitting, let me know! $4.90 a pack is way too much, not to mention the smokers cough is unappealing, my lungs are being poisoned, and my hands smell GROSS)
Dr. Jerz and Moira, thanks for the advice. I started smoking when my parents got divorced. It's always been like my little escape, it's hard to let that go. I'm glad your dad quit, Dr. Jerz. My mom quit cold turkey. My dad didn't have as much luck.
Moira,
The comment about Spanish class making people revert to 13th grade was absolutely PRICELESS. Sad, but true!
My dad coughed up blood one day. That was motivation enough for him to quit. He went cold turkey. He had probably been smoking for 25 years. That was about 10 years ago.
The money he saved, he spent on flowers for my mom.
Stormy - it's rough to quit smoking but it's really something that you have to WANT to do... if you don't really want it, you probably won't actually do it. Nancy's probably right: you need to be scared into it sometimes. I'll have to tell you my quitting smoking method sometime in a less public forum.. hah! ;c)
As for Spanish class, I took Spanish last semester and it threw me right back to high school spanish.. what is it about spanish class that makes people revert to 13th grade? the second day of my spanish class some girl growled, yes GROWLED, at me because I guess I took her seat. whew, baby, sorry! hah!
Good luck! Buenos dias and stuff!
Nancy! THANK YOU!
I think the coffee sipping would be an excellent idea for me. You're right, though, and my mom said the same thing: you almost have to be scared into quitting.
I just can't believe the nerve of people sometimes, I'd never even think about calling somebody stupid. I do feel better though, thanks. =D
I hope you can quit smoking, Stormy. I quit smoking thirty years ago after smoking for ten years. It was the hardest thing I ever did. I had pneumonia at the time, though, and my mother had lung cancer, so that was a HUGE incentive. I substitued coffee for cigarettes. I didn't gulp coffee but would sip it during the day. It satisfied that hand-to-mouth motion that I had been used to.
Secondly, you are NOT stupid. I'm glad you vented; I hope it made you feel better.
