obiter dicta's Wednesday Whine

Who is/was your least favorite authority figure (i.e. teacher, manager, guidance counselor)?

Many pop to mind, unfortunately, including my Great Issues in Science teacher who started out the class saying that I would not be singled out as the only Humanities student in a class of Biology and Chemistry majors in a class about how science is seen by the non-scientific community - then proceeded to do exactly that for the rest of the semester.

There's also my high school counselor. Every time I visited her office, I would have to tell her that I was going to major in French in college, no - I wasn't interested in teaching it - I wanted to be a librarian, yes - it's fascinating that you have a friend who is a French teacher, I am applying to these 6 colleges but I know I want to go to Albion, and no - I'm not interested in Kalamazoo. Next time I visited, we would have to go through the ENTIRE thing again.

My Translation teacher in Grenoble wouldn't listen to anything anyone said and constantly corrected our English... incorrectly. He also based everything on American English and would count that against English and Nigerian students.

I know from a feeling in the back of my head and the pit of my stomach that there's someone worse than this, but it's trapped in my subconscious at the moment and I can't remember who.

What one thing do you wish people would just accept about you? (e.g. - What are you sick of justifying or explaining to everyone?)

Right now, I'm thinking of blogging - I wish Alex would just let me blog when I'm having thoughts instead of whining about how much time I spend on the computer. I also don't like the looks people give me when they find out I have a fan site for an actor...

If you could confront one person with no consequences, who would it be?

My history teacher! People keep telling me I should tell him that he offends me, but I somehow don't feel that telling a professor he should change a big aspect of his personality is not the way to excel in class.

I just caught you daydreaming ... where were you and what were you doing?

You mean in the daydream? I was probably in Grenoble or somewhere else in the past or future... or in front of my computer. Physically, I was probably in Spanish or French class.
