09/07/2002: "Teacher's pets"
Know what I hate? I hate college-level teacher's pets. For example, there is this guy in my Criminology class. He sits in the middle of the third row, and he has this really BAD haircut (Yes, the haircut is important, I'm superficial, okay?). During lectures, he loudly finishes the professor's sentences, adds his own points to her statements, and answers all of her questions. That one is REALLY annoying, since the professor is looking for people to raise their hands and start discussions, and here he is just belting out all the answers without even looking to see who else might want to talk. I feel like asking him if he wants to teach the class. Who interrupts a professor to finish her sentence? It's also scary how much he knows about different laws. I think he must have been arrested many times and learned about them first hand.
Another college-level teacher's pet I hate is someone who writes down EVERY word the professor says. There's this girl in my honors astronomy class who does this. On the first day of class, the prof said that we would be using scientific notation throughout the entire semester so we should make sure we were comfortable with it. The girl writes in her notes: "Scientific notation: IMPORTANT, used lots in astronomy." I felt like smacking my head on the desk.
