I recently shown this blog to a friend - who is most probably going to read this and feel big headed. Anyway not many people know of this blog and friends who once did no longer bother to keep up, which is understandable as my updates aren't as regular as they once were. Anyway this dear friend keeps nagging me to update! So here's to him, for the update which probably wouldn't have been written up till a good few months haha!
So at college I have a quite mixed aged group from about 16 to about 45ish, or perhaps older to about 47. It's really different especially as I'm really used to from the usual same age classes I used to have.
Anyway so I have noticed a lot from the class is that our class especially the older members are very temperamental, and just short tempered. Looking at this, it just surprises me especially as the older ones bicker frequently with each other. I guess this is probably because they are set in there ways and suddenly someone else who comes into the picture tells them what to do - apart from there beloved husbands of course, they're not going to like it!
But the arguments over stealing bowls, or who said the word shit first is ridiculous! It does make me wonder what I'll be in about 20-30 years time! Hopefully not a brat like they are! This really says something though, and it just makes me wonder what other older members are really like, if the ones in my class are like children.
I think my favourite part is whenever we get homework to do, to complete the course, many of them go - no we don't have time. Which I do understand, however the teachers are lenient with the time. Except how many times should one make that excuse? And other members like one who has children, a job and goes to college - she manages to make the time so why can't the older members. I actually hate the "I can't do" attitude they always use. Aren't these the members of society who are supposed to be teaching children how to learn things? How to keep trying, and not giving up? These are the ones, who are attending a course and not actually bothering or at least making the effort. What's the point of them being there then, if they "can't do it".
Another thing which I absolutely detest is that these particular members refuse to listen to anyone younger, or if a younger member say something casually it's a bit of "don't talk to me like that!"
Well excuse me for breathing
I found one incident quite amusing where we were setting out ground rules like 7year olds in the class, and one of these older members turned around and said no swearing.To which I replied, okay no swearing here, but in the industry where you work people are going to swear. I mean you'll get your manager perhaps not swearing at you but saying the f word in nearly every sentence. What your going to say stop swearing to them? Pahlease, you want to keep your job, then you need to shut up and accept it. However after this, I got a "I DON'T LIKE TALK TO FACE" .. literally that repeated like 6 or 7 times. I think my eyes nearly popped out in shock, I think that should have been a rule - 'don't go I DON'T LIKE TALK TO FACE'. Jeepers.
Yeah so that's pretty much that!
Till next time darlinnngs :-*
