Mine isn't a total ******* but she is extremely annoying. Making work due before we know what it is she wants, making us use MLA format for our listings and then grousing when a period is out of place among other things.
Plus she seems to have a nice sociology agenda packed in with every assignment. I think she'd love to mark me wrong on things but I'm a better writer then she is.
I think it irks her that I write my journal entries in the 15 min between my chem and english class.

College thank you very much! Don't make me feel any older then I allready do 
I understand the reasoning behind MLA format and why they are so particular but it's still annoying. I was teasing my teacher about it (and she's pretty good natured forutnately) saying that if we got it wrong the MLA Gods would frown upon it. She said, "Yes and as their representative on the planet I will make sure you pay."
I much prefer APA format.

I haven't done english since 99. I did English Literature in year 12. Our teacher was Irish which made it really hard to understand what the f*ck he was on about. His son was also in the class which made it a bit wierd. I don't think he was bias towards his son though, thankfully.
