well while i'm still on this website i'll let out my anger :)
i go to a tech. school..if you don't know what it is i go to academics(english, math, science, etc.) and take a trade(carpentry, electrical, culinary, hairdressing, etc.).
I am in Hotel Management..so while i'm not sitting in classes i am pretty much sitting on a computer but that is a whole different story.
so since i am technically in academics for only 90 days instead of the 180 a lot of the classes are different then regular high school..such as taking a foreign language.
my junior and senior year i got to pick an elective i would take 4 days a week. junior year i picked spanish because i thought how else would i get into college without 2 years of a language.
that's when i met ms. testa..that's when i'd rather stand in a field with a 150 ft. metal pole during a thunderstorm than be in her class.
end of junior year it was time to pick an elective again. i picked psychology.
well senior year came and i once again ended up in spanish..i thought i was going to die.
the spanish teacher is crazy, absolutely crazy. there is no way somebody could operate the way she does without having something wrong with them.
since junior year i knew there was something wrong with her. she complains 24/7. so what?..yea i'm complaining right now but seriously not about everything.
i'm a pretty easy going person. i rarely get angry and for the most part take life as it comes..no questions asked.
when i had to sit in ms. testa's class for countless hours for countless days..that changed rather quickly.
last year she wasn't so bad just complaining about how she's lonely and nobody will ever love her and how somebody is breaking into her house at night so she's scared to sleep. seriously?..get an alarm system..oh and she lives with her parents.
so this year she just became 10,000x worse. maybe she's hit menopause..maybe she's just certified crazy.
it all began when in the beginning of the school year she thought it would be an awesome idea to tell us how she has to go to a different country to find a husband because every man in america is a moron. ok ms. testa..move to spain! nobody, trust me nobody is stopping you.
then one day she decided to tell us that she hates people with tatoos because people who get tatoos are just followers but it's ok if an african man has "tribal" tatoos. ohh yea because that man isn't following his tribal rituals or whatever..right?
we had to write a description of a celebrity in spanish so i chose THE man, arnold swartzanegger(sp?).
el es muy musculoso..el es gobernador de California. after i was finished with my description..out of nowhere she starts flipping out.
"i hate that man." "i would be ashamed if i lived in california." "he does not deserve anything he has." oh yea ms. testa??..why would you say this?
oh because arnold swartzanegger(again..sp?) let a man..who murdered multiple people who was on death row..be killed. he is a cruel person because the man(who's name is on the tip of my tounge..you probably know who he is) wrote children books and even won a noble peace prize.
oh yea but it's ok that he was like in some gang and killed massive people..oh who cares about that. let's see only the good in people..i guess.
i started going to guidance instead of her class and she decided to class ms. kisner(attendance lady) that i'm skipping her class and failing. oh i am? so the next class i went to ms. testa and asked her what the hell her issue is and she told me she never even called ms. kisner..haha ok you didn't wacko?!
so she goes over to her phone and as she's point it yelling at me.."i will call her right now." oh are you sopposed to be scaring me because it is seriously working!
anyways after the incident..i just couldn't stand her anymore. once in a while she would complain about her love life and how fat she is but one day she just made me want to go back to ww2 and stand in the middle of the battlefield.
ok we are in SPANISH class but lets do a worksheet about adding suffixes & prefixes to words not spanish words but english words. seriously..why would we be doing this? we only have so much time in spanish class why would we be doing this?!?
at the end of the packet it starts talking about child labor laws and pesticides. oh god i realized why she is making us do this packet because of these questions. i was soo ready to get up and walk out.
so she starts asking us how we feel about child labor laws. what do you think we think?..it sucks but us saying it isn't going to change it. well obviously ms. testa feels a little bit different about that.
after sitting there for five minutes talking about explotiting children in africa and there and here. this is spanish class not a UN MEETING!
after her exploting children she moves on to her pesticides and organic food. ms. testa only eats organic food because if you don't your going to die from colon cancer...obviously. she babbles on about how pesticides are killing all these people and how she only uses toms toothpaste and washes her hair with organic shampoo from whole foods. whoope freakin doo ms. testa.
at that point i just laughed, laughed and laughed. lee..sitting next to me was getting so annoyed at her i turned around and saw him and laughed even harder..bad move vicki!
"do you think this is funny?" "there is nothing funny about this." "just keeping on laughing." "who's laughing ms. testa?" "victoria..do you think this is funny." "hahaaha..of course not ms. testa."
are you an idiot it is HILARIOUS! i left that class annoyed more than ever. so a few classes later she starts majorly hating on my class.
most of the class had to go to an early lunch so there was only me and veronica in the class. she told us to do a worksheet and i did it and showed her.
what else was i going to do? stare at myself?! so i started reading a book. omg that was a baad move. "victoria put that book away." haha are you kidding me...absolutely not. i kept reading and five minutes later.."we're in spanish class can you put that book away." FOR WHAT? you are sitting on your computer doing nothing why should i have to put the book away. i threw it down.
the others came back from lunch and didn't have there work so she had them all go to their locker. five minutes later she calls the office. they obviously have been at their lockers far too long. as she's on the phone they walk in.
after hearing her complain for five minutes she notices cece and candance still aren't back. she starts flipping out and they both come walking in.
cece had to go to the bathroom. wrong move cece..why would you walk to your locker on the other side of the school then back to ms. testa class to go back to the bathroom right down the stairs from your locker(yes there is only ONE bathroom in the school)? ms. testa started barking at both of them..gave them detentions and they were not taking any of that.
they all argued and then it was over. they stopped talking to her and she stopped talking all of the sudden out of nowhere she throws her grade book on the floor and runs out of the class.
haha because she's not childish at all. she comes back in and tells us not to talk to her because "you people" are ridiculous and she is sick of us. haha ok..what do you do to that?..you laugh. so i laughed.
"you think this is funny victoria?"..yes i think it is funny that is why i'm laughing at your physco self.
candace and cece go to the principal then she flips out on justin for spitting in the garbage can. do you want him to spit on your floor!?
the next class nobody says anything to her and in the middle of going over our homework she flips out again. "i'm just such a horrible teacher..i'm so stupid..i must not teach you guys anything..i'm just so stupid."
what?..if that is not certified mental UN-stability i seriously do not know what it.
that afternoon my whole spanish class is called down and we having a "meeting" with mr. duffy and ms. witkin(assistant principals).
we try to come up with a comprise but obviously it is all just so ridiculous. nothing we could come up with would get ms. testa the spawn of who even knows what out of our lives.
so for now i am stuck sitting in ms. testa's spanish class for another 2 months and let me tell you..it is NOT over.
