Baffling....

Well, I went to class this morning, sleepy as can be. Guess the late nighter studying finally caught up with me. Class was fun, we learned what educational philosophy we most agree with and model ourselves by.

Anyhow, this girl in my class, P, was in my finance class last semester and the professor, Dr. L, is the Head of the Education department. Anyhow, P is in one of his classes this summer. Are you following me, here.

Well, P told me this morning that Dr. L asked a question in class yesterday "What is the significance of the 10th amendment?" and she raised her hand and answered. He told her that was not what he was looking for and looked around and called my name (I am not in the class, by the way). He said, where is Staci? She will know the answer, then called on some other guy and he gave another answer. Then Dr. L told them the answer and said "If Staci were here, she would have known the answer..."

Okay, my friend P, said it was a very nice compliment to me but I didn't quite know how to take it. I am not a stupid person, but I am far from brilliant and have to study very hard to make my grades. I am a good test taker but I do not retain things well, and never "shined" in his class with the exception of my school site budget which he raved over and over. What does his comment mean? To me, it makes me feel bad that he is building me up in classes where I am not even in and puts a lot of pressure on me and other people. Now, I will be expected to know every answer to every question he ever asks.

Am I stupid to think this way? Why can't I just take it as a compliment that he thinks I am a good listener and retain things well. I don't want my classmates and peers to think I am a snoot or that I know everything.
I don't know. Maybe I am over reacting.

Off to homework and watch Passions. Why do I watch this crap? It is so weird.
