Very Very Irritated October 2, 2008
Today has not turned out to be the best day for me. (nutritionally I did quite well) It started out fine, although I was pretty tired waking up this morning and I wasn’t looking forward to my exercise class at 11 am (I’m more of a night person) but once I was there and I got through it I was feeling good about myself. This afternoon is when everything started going downhill. I went to go get some help from one of my professors. When I got to his office there were three guys from my class in there getting help as well. They were all sitting on chairs and couches as he explained their questions on the blackboard. They left shortly after I got there. So that left just me and the teacher. However, instead of him explaining things to me on the blackboard, he had me write on that blackboard while he sat back and watched. I was feeling self conscious because I had my back to him while I was writing, and I was wearing my tight work out pants. He kept on pulling his shirt down to cover his lap, and I thought maybe he was trying to hide something? *shudder* Anyway, he made me uncomfortable which bummed me out because I usually go in to ask questions pretty often and now I’m always going to feel uncomfortable. Later when I told my boyfriend about it, he said he thought I was overreacting and that I needed to give the teacher a second chance. Which made it worse. THEN I went to my psychology class and there was this idiot behind me who kept yelling out the answers, to questions that didn’t even need answers. He was one of those know-it-all perfectionist types. Plus that class has 500 people in it and I was feeling very crowded. After I got out of class my dad called me, we were talking, yada yada yada…then I was complaining that I don’t have enough time to shower after my exercise class so I have to go to my next class all stinky. And he goes “you’re not going to get a new boyfriend that way, that is definitely boy repellant”. (The thing is, I already have a boyfriend, whom I’ve been with for over a year) So I said “well…I already have a boyfriend”. Then my dad laughs and says “Ok, honey”. HE IS SOOOO IRRITATING. He obviously doesn’t take my relationship seriously. GAHHHHHHH
I am a professor. I am sorry that you had to go through with that “office visit.” Sounds like this prof. is a creep. If you are feeling uncomfortable being in his office, then trust your instincts. Technically, he has not done anything to warrant you complaining against him. I know that really sucks. What I suggest that you do is take someone with you next time you go to his office to ask for help. Either that, or accompany some of the students in the class who are going to see him.
