Cobra Kai vs The Darwin Awards

[jpegghost]

The past day has, as I mentioned, been dedicated to schoolwork. We have a terrible microbiology teacher who focuses on the minutiae of details instead of the big picture; I couldn't tell you anything about what we learned, honestly, only trivial facts that have nothing to do with the coursework as a whole. I've done a lot of emailing but I doubt she will do anything as she mostly has gotten defensive at the fact most of the class is failing. As if that is our fault, not hers. I get mad just thinking about it, so I don't even know why I've written about it more here!

I rage cleaned my tiny bathroom after I got an email telling me and the other students to more or less suck it up. Because my hair has gotten so long from quarantine I put a bandanna around my forehead to keep my hair back, in which Alex immediately has begun calling me 'Daniel-San'. I think I'm hitting more of a Jack Dawson a la Titanic hairstyle lately, which I'm enjoying and it's not like I'll be getting a haircut anytime soon.
 

Texas is beginning to reopen for Some Reason, but our mayor has been cool enough to force a mandatory mask policy. Of course, men with too many guns and Punisher stickers on their Jeeps are bawling about "muh freedoms" when that was enacted. Freedom to not wear a mask and catch Covid and die, I guess? The states is quickly winning the Darwin Awards, what with all the stupid protestors and people saying its infringing on their rights to wear PPE in public. I've felt particularly dismal about this pandemic after seeing the South act ... Like the South, but I'm also just cranky today from Microbiology.

Apologies for the cranky post, I'll try to be less bitchy in future iterations of my days.

You'd think that with half the class failing, she'd stop and think "Wow, maybe it *is* me?!"

North Idaho is a lot like Texas and the rest of the South; the God, guns and guts guys love it here. Even the sheriff has made a public statement that he thinks the guv'mint is overstepping boundaries by saying we have to shelter in place. I know there is no way our governor will be re-elected, because even though he's a Republican he was pretty fast to give the order.

Yeah, our sheriffs are openly objecting our mask order, which disturbs me. Even counties outside of ours are mocking it, and it's kind of insane that people will wear masks until being told to, then they'll say it's ruining their amendment rights or whatever.

And I'm in the liberal part of Texas (yes, there is a liberal part) believe it or not! I'm sure you see it much more over there -- I have a pal from Idaho who says its nothing but dirt farmers, God, guns, and racism.

Some things are worth bitching about and these definitely qualify.

Don't apologize for being cranky, you have the right to be. I'd go over that teacher's head to the head of her department and ask for help. Might help you somewhat, or at least help your grade if enough of you do it.

I don't know what it is about a mask, you'd think people would have some common sense. Maybe this is the Gods way of taking stupidity out of the gene pool.

I ended up going to the head of online classes and she's now got a magnifying glass on her. Feels good man.

Good for you!
