I had a crumby day at school. Last week, my teacher gave us a true/false midterm that was full of biases and opinions. Today she admitted that yes, it was a terrible test that she had made. She graded on a curve, but I couldn’t ascribe to most of her opinions. The world is not black or white, true or false. I got a C. I studied really hard. She told everyone to go home and find proof in the textbook of where she was wrong and bring in your corrections to raise your grade. Is this really happening? I’m just stunned that teachers get away with this stuff.
When I got to my scooter, someone had thrown trash in the basket. I had to drive home with trash in my basket, angry that someone could live a life where they don’t think about how their actions affect others and angry that I was too responsible to just throw their trash out on the street and drive off.
But then I got home and I got one of the best emails. Someone found my photos from Caunes-Minervois and it turns out they had spent a couple weeks at Berges. They shared photos with me and thanked me for sharing mine with the world. One little email and all my faith in humanity was restored.
Now I realise that I have just 10 days to turn in five chapters. Seemed so much easier yesterday. How did I loose 4 days in 12 hours?
