Making Small Talk?

Haha that's awesome xD I think in freshman year we watched him in Chemical Science but my teach for that class was great, so :P yeah lol.
I was more of an English fan P: Come to think of it, all of my favorite teachers have been English teachers haha Well, except for my choir instructor, but otherwise they were
[flower=Mindi]
I hated pretty much all my English teachers because they acted like I was stupid. I should've been in advanced English but I didn't even know that was an option until last year, lmao.
My choir teacher is... to say the least... a douche. Like, he personally told my mom that he hates kids. So, that kinda made me think down on him for teaching elementary and high school music classes. I don't know why you would do that if you hate kids. But it explains why he's so wishy washy
Now, mind you, I'm smarter than I look and act, but after that incident I just didn't know what to do.
You would think someone's first choice for a career would be something they enjoy, not something they can't stand xD That's like being a Marine Biologist, but hating water and animals haha I wonder what made him pick teaching of all things.
I have anxiety too and am actually on meds for it and if I don't take those meds then I pretty much have a mental breakdown and it's... kinda scary. Like a withdrawal.
Teachers that look down on their students like that make me so furious, like, their job is to TEACH them, not make fun of them for not knowing something, or make them feel dumb about not knowing something. My freshman English teacher honestly does not have a normal "inside" voice, and her room is about the size of the bathroom at my HS (tiny) and she constantly yelled and it stressed me the hell out being in her class. She was also one of those teachers who just assumes people don't know stuff. Like honestly we went over a whole until on the difference between "its and It's"... we were 9th graders. By then we should know lol. rantrant
And I know!!! Why would you choose that xD Personally, I like kids but I know I would be a bad teacher. I've thought about teaching before but I KNOW I would end up losing my temper and patience with them (i'm famous for that, sadly).
Yeah, but I think she was the only horrible teacher I had, so I mean I can't really complain about my school. It was mostly rich kids anyways, so maybe that's why. Eh, either way I don't think it should''ve happened Heck, it shouldn't happen anywhere :/
Oh I wanted to be an English teacher haha I don't like public speaking. My voice shakes just trying to present a project to my small class of 14 -.- I know them all really well too, but even then I get nervous Which is weird because I can walk up to random people and make friends haha
Ugh, The only reason why I passed my driver's test is because my grandparents (whom literally forced me into taking the class, AND the test; because they KNEW I couldn't afford it so they paid for the class and then they scheduled the test for when they could do it and said "hey if you don't take this then you're out of luck"...) are close friends with the instructor. You can only get 6 points in the parking portion and I was such a nervous wreck I honestly probably got like 15-20 points.
The class thing I know all too well. When I talk to people I'm not normally around in school and stuff I get a nervous tick where my head shakes and bobs up and down... It's really.. Irritating. I cannot help it a single bit. I get so paranoid about talking to people because of how everyone has ALWAYS treated me. My home life kinda sucked growing up and school was shit. (Still kinda is but less so now). So I can totally empathize with the anxiety thing.
It pretty much sucks >.<
I seem to be okay with making friends though. With certain people.
Yeah, I understand that. My hands shake pretty bad when I get nervous or when I'm in situations where I feel extremely stressed or scared my whole body decides to shake. I honestly look like a nervous Chihuahua
Haha same here! I can usually get along with everyone (or try to at least), but some people just make you want to slam your head into a wall. I mean, don't get me wrong, I understand everyone has their issues, but eh, I have little patience for some types of people ha
My mom always tries to get me to drive and get stuff for her but I hate it!! I'm so afraid of messing up and wrecking her car lol. I pulled out of our driveway once and there's a utility pole to the left of it, and i turned too sharply and it ripped her headlight out.... Oops....
So yeah I'm really nervous about driving now. :L
I've only ever driven in our old neighborhood a year or two ago, so :/ Never really driven on a road with traffic x_x Just the thought is enough to make me panic
nOh I know what you mean! The town I live in is maybe a thousand people, so there's not that much traffic and any time we go out of town, my mom wants me to drive and it freaks me out!! I panic when I'm out of our little town and there's a ton of people
Yeah, some people should just...ride a bike or something. I don't know how some of my friends still have their licenses because they drive like speed racer. >.>
My fiance' is the same way though He'll video himself singing while driving -.- No common sense haha
Oh my gosh I HATE when people talk and text while driving. I refuse to do it. My mom one time pulled out her phone and called my grandma to tell her we were driving THROUGH a massive storm. It was ridiculous. I can't stand that. It's soooooo not safe.
I do that too, or I'll have my boyfriend hold it and if someone texts or calls he will answer it for me. (I'm usually driving his car, if I do end up driving).
