Another Day in our German Class
You might have already heard about the discussion in our German class last Friday. When my German teacher talk to me and apologized, I thought it’s over. Of course, I was still a little bit mad but I thought, “Monday will be another day and this will all be forgotten”. So when I came to class yesterday, I acted like nothing happened but I am curious about how it’s going to be. I was actually in a very good mood. But when this particular teacher entered the class, the first thing he said was “Today, I brought a book so next time we have a discussion about some things again, we can directly check DUDEN.” Fine. But the thing that made me think that “IT” is not over yet was that whenever one of us makes a mistake, he’d say, “Wait, wait, wait. I think that was a wrong but let me check the book.” And he does it in a really sarcastic manner. What an asshole.
I am glad that we will have Karin for today and for the next two days. It’s good to have a break from Herr Bucher. With Karin, the class is relaxed and pleasant. We even call each other by first names but with Herr Bucher, we play it formal and call each other by our last names so imagine what complaints my Chinese classmates have whenever they have to call me by my long compounded last name. I like learning German but teacher like Herr Bucher makes me hate it.
