And...class.
Man, when a day sucks, it really sucks, doesn't it?
No, this entry isn't in Spanish, though I probably could do it that way. My Spanish is fairly decent, though not as good as I'd like.
But it's too bloody much effort to deal with Spanish, after class sucked. I was a little tired but basically coping okay, but today's topic was food.
I am so sick of topics it's hard for me to talk about. And as much as possible, since it's a Spanish class, we talk about things as they relate to our experiences in Spanish-speaking countries.
Un problema. I spent a week in a car in Mexico. I barely remember it, it was years ago, and my two strongest memories are getting what was probably a fairly mild case of dysentery, and being told I couldn't have a carved cat I desperately wanted (and for which I had the money). Alas, it was rather large, and I didn't get it. :(
Anyway. Given that my interest in food is fairly blah - I mean, I don't think about it except when I'm faced with the need to acquire it, I hate cooking, and I generally don't find it worth my while to wait in a restaurant for food to be made when I can eat something that I'll remember just as long out of a box stuffed in the microwave.
Once again, my Spanish is fine. My interest in the topic is nil.
I attempted to talk about it, and they asked if I liked ice cream. I said yes. They wanted me to say more. What? I like ice cream, in fairly plain flavors, like chocolate and vanilla. That's it. What am I supposed to say about it? I don't have a favorite brand, I don't really have a favorite flavor.
But thank you so much for mocking me, and saying that because I'm not too interested in it, as long as it's safe and the flavor's not too strong, and I don't like taking the time to cook or go to the effort to get to a restaurant and order food there and wait for it, thank you very much for commenting that food isn't important to me and I don't like making time to eat. Thank you for joking amongst yourselves about it.
I probably took it a lot worse than I should have, because I was tired. I realize this. But you continued after I corrected you, and you laughed, and you drew the other students into laughing, and I'm wondering why the hell I'm in this class anyway.
Just. Fuck. Off.
At least next week's topic is "pets", but thank you to the professor for saying she was sure I wouldn't have anything to say about this either. I'll be lucky if I don't freeze up next week just from the expectations.
I am not taking this class again, certainly not with this professor, most likely not at all. Forget maintaining my Spanish, it's not worth it.
And yeah, tomorrow I'll probably feel different...about maintaining my Spanish. My opinin of the lady teaching this class is pretty well shot.
I'm going to go get some sleep now. Not being tired generally helps my mood, and tomorrow will be pretty hideous if I don't sleep well. :)
