I was haiving a good day until...

[Eye of Sarnath]

Spanish class. Yes, Spanish class screwed my day up. It started out all fine, until my teacher decided to take role call. What's ironic is that, although we've been back in school for quite some time, this is the first time he's ever taken role call.

So, he comes to my name on the list. He calls my name, and I say "here", which happens to be what I say in every other class.

He calls my name again. I though maybe he hadn't heard me the first time, so I say "here" again, more loudly this time.

He calls my name again.

I’m feeling mildly confused by now.

I say, "I said here!"

He calls my name yet again.

By this time, I'm completely lost. What more could he possibly want from me? "Um... howdy?" I ventured.

And he looses it. Completely, f***ing, absolutely goes apeshit on me.

“SO YOU THINK YOU’RE ALL THAT? GET OUT OF HERE!”

And I leave, very, very, confused. Not before I give a little flourish to the rest of the class, because, as I’m sure you can imagine, I had a very captive audience.

Saying “howdy” shouldn’t get anyone that angry. I stand around the hall for a bit, unsure what to do, as I’ve never been kicked out of class before. I stand around the halls for a bit. After a few minutes, it becomes clear to me that he’s not coming out to yell at me even more. So I go down to the bathrooms, take a piss and come back up, he isn’t looking for me. So, for the period, I went to my locker, got a book, and was just reading. Nothing happens for the rest of the day, at least not until the end.

He come looking for me, and asks me to come into his classroom. Sure, why not. This is when it got interesting, because, up to this point, I still had no idea as to why he got so angry.

The discussion went like this:

“Why the attitude in class today?”

“There was no attitude intended. Why was I kicked out?”

“Do you know why?”

“Uhhh… no.”

So, I decide to throw I throw a little joke in here.

“Was it because I didn’t say “here” in Spanish?”

Lo and behold, I’m a f***ing mindreader.

“No, it’s because you didn’t say present in Spanish.”

Had I not been completely dumbstruck by the sheer f***ing stupidity of this, I may of actually said something intelligent.

I briefly think “JESUS F***ING CHRIST!”

All I could manage was, “Is that all?”

It was.

And I could not, and still cannot, believe it. I’ve considered just not attending Spanish class.

How was this important? I wasn't. I just needed to get all of that out.I feel better now.
