Ms. Bio is an amazingly bizzare and annoying person. I am now going to list the things that are strange about/wrong with her.
1. She is alternately really nice and really mean. For example, she was nice to me when I had my nervous breakdown, and when I told her at the beginning of this semester that I was going to try to get my act together, we had this whole nice conversation and she was all like, "I'm sure you will, you have a lot of potential and I can understand having a hard time at first blah blah blah." However, after I had mono, she expected me to do all the work that I had missed in like two days. Also, she refuses give me any suggestions for what to do my scary long term experiment/research project on, and we are not allowed to do any experiment that's already been done. We have to discover something new. Um... WE ARE IN HIGHSCHOOL. MOST THINGS HAVE ALREADY BEEN DONE. THAT IS RIDICULOUS.
2. She is a mad scientist.
Me: So, I heard from somebody that you can't use vertibrates for the long term project, but I'm pretty interested in human behavior, so... can I use humans?
Ms. Bio: Well... I suppose so, as long as you make sure you don't hurt the humans you're experimenting on. I mean, you don't want to be injecting anything harmful or exposing people to radiation or anything...
Me: Wh... What? No, of course not.
or...
Me: Can I use mice for my project?
Ms. Bio: No, you can't disect mice.
Me: No, I... I wasn't going to disect them. It was going to be behavioral.
We also had a lab once where we genetically engeneered E-coli that were resistant to antibiotics. Yup. She's a mad scientist.
3. She is obsessed with plants.
Me: Can I do the effects of music on the brain for my long term project?
Ms. Bio: Um, no. Why don't you work with Brian Li?
Me: What's he doing?
Ms. Bio: The effects of music on plants.
4. She misuses irregular plurals. For example, she always talks about "a hypotheses." Meaning a hypothesis. And she is a biology teacher. Also, "a phenomena."
5. She is wicked rambly and cannot explain anything. Everything she says could probably be said using, at most, one quarter of the words. If she says something vague and someone asks a clarifying question, she will repeat whatever she last said, leaving it vague. I'm pretty sure she does not even listen to people's actual questions, she just hears every question as "I don't get it," and she feels she has to reexplain the entire concept.
6. She thinks that every day of the week is the worst day of the week. Okay, this one really bothers me. Every day, we are tired and bored, and do not want to be in bio. So every day, she says like...
"You guys are so quiet. I can tell it's Wednesday."
"You guys aren't awake yet? I know, it's Friday, Fridays are always tough."
"Oh, I can tell it's Monday, you guys aren't awake yet."
"Another tough Tuesday morning. Tuesdays are always the toughest."
Mostly, I am just wicked stressed out about this scary long term project. She has rejected the only idea I have. And I really don't want to work with Brian Li. I don't really know him that well, but he did play the cello in pit sophomore year, and he sat next to me. And he is a weird kid. We would be in the middle of a song, and we would be resting, and he would say, "Do you want me to play something? Name a song, and I'll play it."
"No Brian, I do not want you to play a song. Shh."
"No seriously, name a song."
"No."
"No seriously."
Sometimes, when we were just hanging around and not in the middle of a song, I actually would name something.
"Uh... I don't know that one. Name something else."
I would name something else.
"...Do you want me to play a Disney song? I can play those."
I kind of already asked Brian Li if I could work with him. But it was like a week ago, so hopefully it will not be a big deal if I back out once I get Ms. Bio to approve an idea that I come up with myself.
...If that ever happens.
I totally should have taken chem.
(I know that that was a weird entry that does not have much to do with the plotline right now. But it felt good. Ahem.)
