who convinced me thr wz anothr syd to da story too
In case you've forgotten (and thrz a high chance ud hv since it wz SUCH a long tym bk...) ds post is abt da big phadda tht happnd da day v hd our comm skills presenations in 4th semester. Most o u ppl wd hv a rough idea o wt happend and thr wd b some God fearing souls who wd nt hv a clue o exactly wt im tawkin abt (skip da post thn..u wnt hv ne idea evn by da end).
Here's what happened as i know it.
For me it was a screwed day since morn. i argued wd frnds as we drove to da uni (late as usual, thx 2 awais), zahra wz frantically txtin me 2 ask wr i was since ours wz da first group to present and i jst wasnt feelin tht gr8, neway. Talk abt bad vibes.
Thn it wz presenation tym. it wznt al tht bad. v had da qs/ans sessions too. (rem...??!! i enjoyed that!) and al in al, v winded up rather nicely. i was feelin slightly better by tht tym. One by one the presenations continued, some wr boring, some wr funny and some wr brilliant.
As the day passed things started gettin out of hand. the teacher got wierder and wierder; da guys started havin fun; the fun got mean; i forgot to mind my own business and managed to piss da teacher off with my unwelcome remarks and ostentatious support for my friends tht actually ended up creating more trouble for them (haha). still, it cudda ended as a not so bad day... but poor little me, no.
A friend o myn, a uet senior, lets call him X, txtd me a hwdy. i told him i was havin a bad tym wd da teacher n he txtd bk to tel me to keep him postd. i busied muself in txtin n generally ignoring the teacher as he ranted on abt hw ill mannered i was ( no news to me :p ). i swear i stil don noe wt happend next. the teacher's rant was still on n he sd sffin tht hit me lyk a bullet n DAMN, i lost my cool then. u noe wn i get mad, i scare evn myself. so i jst got up n walked out o da class. Apparently the teacher lost his cool then too. He swore he'd get back at me n teach me a lesson in manners. (My amma's bn tryin tht for 20 years).
Now most o da above u'd noe alrdy cz u wr probably in class tht day, havin a gud tym n laffin n wonderin y i wz makin sch a fuss neway. This is the inside scoop now.
As soon as i was out, X cald n askd wt hd happnd. i told him my whole sorry tale, swore n cussed at da teacher n cried foul play. X got worked up, told me to stay exactly wr i was until he cd himslf come along n investegate. On da way he pikd up anothr frnd, lets call him Y, n together thy promised me they'd get me out o da shit id landed myslf into as soon as possible.
Y went n tawked to the teacher who was, well, not exactly pleased by my attitude. He sd he'd leave me alone if id jst say sorry. I refused point blank. I dunno wt story Y cooked up, bt the teacher cooled off a lot. In da mean while my odr frnds wishd me luck n went home. after Y had managed to nag the taecher into leaving me well alone he came to me n told me (check ds out:) tht da guys o my class wr hanging out wd da teacher n urging him to take action against me n my frnds. Acc to Y da guys said sm seriously nasty stuff abt me. i was furious. X n Y told me da guys o my class wr simply havin fun at my expense. Later,X drove us both home n i vowed to myslf id get back at da guys wn ds business was over.
The teacher wz not such a soft cushion after al. he rang up one o my frnds who sd sffin 2 him whch he wznt suppozd to say...and da teacher got mad once again. The next day he rang up Y n told him he wz ready to take da whole thing to da chairman. Y was caught off guard. Next thing we knew, the teacher hd rung up Y's father n complained abt hz beahviour. Y's father was bewildered. Y freaked out n told me trouble wz at hand.
Now as this whole thing wz goin on, the teacher ( had he NOTHING else to do at tht tym..?! wasting hz time on a lowly student..?! honestly!!) also got in touch wd da clsss CR n askd him to mk me tawk to him. the CR tried to tawk to me bt i wz mad at him n hz frnds since, apparently thy hd bad mouthed me last nyt. Y kept tellin me tht da CR n da odr guys of my class wr jst creatin mor n mor trble, thy wr tawkin to the teacher, hell, thy wr spyin on us (whch wz dumb). i wz gettin freaked out by now. i got hold o da poor CR after lec one day n yelled my head off at him. The guy listend pateintly n tried to put across hz point bt i dint let him. I'm sorry i did tht.
As soon as i hd vented out my anger, i got anxious to bury da mess. Y told me to act smart, blame da guys n get out before any real harm wz done. By ds tym i wz ready 4 almst nefin so i agreed. Y turned up in class one day, the teacher listened to us both and i patched togethr a bunch o half truths n half lies n acted da part o da damsel in distress while Y coaxed da teacher into giving up. and so da teacher happily patted me on da head n sd it wz alryt.
We all (tried to) live happily evr after.
Moral o the story: Stay away frm tht God damned, nut case madhouse teacher.
i dunno wt wz true, wt wznt. n i dn care. if smbdy did indeed act mean tht day n nyt, thy wr nt alone cz i wz a mean bitch too (always am). Lookin back, it wz fun n funny, n if things lyk ds dint happen lyf wd b terribly boring.
