yukinoomoniMy first lesson was last night and while I'm trying to keep an open mind, it sort of sucked.
For starters, while it's more forgivable than the rest, they didn't order me the right workbook, so I paid for something invisible. The book that was ordered for me was Level 2, and it was I that noticed the error. Luckily, there was another adult student there, so I got a photcopy of the first twelve pages, but I have been registered for two weeks, so that was kinda ridiculous.
And my teacher has no damned sense of humour. She's stiff, boring, and prone to yawning while I'm trying to learn. She talks down to me like I'm six, and while I understand getting into autopilot after teaching kids for a while, it never ceased. From start to finish, in between yawning and looking at her watch, I was treated like a retard. Plus, which I know is not unique to her, I had to sing. Gah.
It's hard. I want to counter it and so that I don't waste lessons see if I can get a new teacher. But at the same time, I feel bad for giving up on this teacher after one lesson. But at the same time, how can a person be so disrespectful? It's tricky.
So no, I didn't have a good time, really. I'm trying to be optimistic about it, but I'm pretty disappointed. But, luckily, it's the first lesson, so hopefully it can only go up from here.
PS. Nimue came home a little stoned and thus a little scared and upset, but near the end of the night she was acting sluggish but normal. This morning, she's slow but as normal as I've seen her post-op. I'm so pleased =3.
