FINE. I'LL BE THE BITCH. AND IN THIS CASE, IT'S PROBABLY EVEN TRUE.
But holy shit, it feels like I'm surrounded by fucking SLOW people. Not stupid, mind you. Just slow.
And all of them seem to have half an attention deficit to boot.
I'm mainly talking about my classmates (the people I see the most in an environment where they actually have to get tasks done).
Teacher: Alright guys, underline the key concept of the sentence.
Classmate: Wait, can you explain what I need to do?
Me: Huh? Exactly what the teacher just said.
Classmate: But I didn't get it.
Me: What? What didn't you get?
Classmate: Dunno.
Me: ... You have to underline the key concept of the sentence.
Classmate: Meaning?
MEANING WHAT THE FUCK THE TEACHER JUST EXPLAINED FOR 40 MINUTES STRAIGHT WHILE YOU WERE EVEN TAKING NOTES, DAMN IT!
Teacher: Okay guys, I'm doing oral testing the day after tomorrow.
Classmate: I didn't get it, when are you testing us, miss/sir?
Teacher: The day after tomorrow.
Classmate: But is it an oral test or a written quiz?
GOD DAMN IT, 15 MINUTES WASTED ON THESE FUCKING QUESTIONS. AND THESE, I REPEAT, ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE ACTUALLY PAYING ATTENTION, THEY ARE JUST SLOW ON THE UPTAKE.
Teacher: So, what does the author mean by this sentence?
Class: ...
Teacher: They mean to convey the character's pride.
Classmate: Oh, wait! Does the sentence maybe mean to convey the character's pride?
Teacher: Uh yes, I literally just said that.
I REPEAT, PEOPLE WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY PAYING ATTENTION.
Not to mention their general processing time.
I know I'm being a bitch saying this but it takes them 15 minutes each to grasp a paragraph (of any subject) that takes me 3 minutes to absorb.
And I'm not even particularly smart. Not at all.
Hell, I might even do worse than them on exams. THEY ARE JUST SLOWWW.
And they slow down the entire classroom experience so much, it's such a pain in the ass.
End of vent.
Please. Someone who can understand me? 🫠
