It's the "Little Things" that make you burst out into an uncontrollable fit of laughter

so let me just start off by saying how much i enjoy school...ok maybe not. but it does have its perks. For any of you who dont know, im taking a course at UTC known as Arts Integration. a major related course no doubt. so for an entire semester i have endured grueling lesson plans. now some of you may say, "well that doesnt seem so bad" and i say to them well its not. but this my friends is where it gets interesting....

Monday afternoon both sections of the class had a small social gathering...aka a peer critique. We had to turn our lesson plans in to the teacher(s) and they passed them out to other students for a peer review. so as i was reading over the lesson plan that i had received, i realized that it needed a little "tweeking" so i got down to business. by the end, and i do have to admit, the paper seemed to take the form of the Srebrenica Massacre. ok but i did it for this persons own good. i corrected the grammatical errors (i say this and i know you are thinking well dang sara knows nothing about punctuation...just look at the way she types. well bear with me folks. i know my shit, i just choose to type the way i talk.) anyways, corrected grammatical errors, made some suggestions as to how the person could bring his or her paper to life, told the person that they needed to include a conclusion etc. etc. etc.. see i did this because i knew if i had turned that paper in to a certain teacher it would have received an F. i really thought i was trying to help this person out.

WELL, apparently people cant take constructive criticism well these days and my life was threatened. oh yes, true story here. Yesterday i receieved a call from a person who shall remain anonymous...(you know who you are!!!) and this person said, "Hey Sara, you really must have pissed someone off. You know that person that you had to peer critique, well that person is talking shit about you right now."

ok so the person is talking trash...whatever i dont really care. come to find out...the person whom i critiqued told everyone in that particular class that the next time she saw me (because she doesnt even know who i am) that she was going to "Kick my ass." tell me this isnt a good story.

I peer critique someone and get death threats so to speak. I LOVE SCHOOL. People need to grow the F up. the persons grade is NOT, and i repeat, is NOT affected by my critique....it was simply suggestions as to how to make it better. GROW UP PEOPLE!!! Sheesh.
