We had a uni student studying maths at oxford observe our maths lesson. Our teacher gave us his surname being like ‘this is mr [insert his surname]’ but honestly I already have a shit memory and am even worse at remembering names and can’t remember for the life of me what it was. But anyway he comes over to my table to observe what I’m doing and I hate when people look at me work because it makes me nervous. Anywhore, he asks me what I’m doing and I fuck up my explanation because like I said - the nervousness. Then my maths teacher asks me to show my working on the board which caught me off guard and which I’m pretty sure she wanted to happen. So after making a fool of myself the uni guy comes up to me and teaches me how to add big numbers in my head without using my calculator. And I’m shit at this because it requires mental space since you have to store numbers in your head etc. But like I said - the nervousness + my bad memory means I repeatedly fuck up while the person sitting next to me doesn’t (there’s one desk and it’s two people per desk, so it’s me and this guy V and he’s pretty much a maths wizz and was good at it, I was not). So to get away from the whole mathsy conversation I ask him about uni life and why he was here, if he wanted to be a teacher etc etc and yeh we got pretty close in the space of that one maths lesson tbh. He also confessed he had no idea what we were doing because it’d been so long since he’d done such easy maths. I looked at him knowingly and said something like ‘you’re doing the type of maths where there’s more letters from the alphabet than actual numbers’ and he chuckles and explained what he did. Then the bell goes and we have to inevitably leave and as I leave I turn around and say ‘Bye Mr uuuum, what’s your name again, I forgot’ and he smiles and sort of chuckled shouting (okay not shouting but in a raised voice) back at me ‘Just call me Leo’ and I smile and say ‘Bye Leo’ but yeh that was an eventful lesson, did I mention he was kinda cute?? Also I remembered his name that time because it’s my star sign haha
ah yes they call me “No Queue” Jones because I post everything I reblog at once with no breaks in between and then vanish into the night for extended periods of inactivity
One day he was handing out sheets and I’m like ‘thank you’ and he whispers ‘that’s alright’ so so sweetly. He continued round (I sit right at the front) and I made sure to listen out as other people said thank you but he didn’t say anything back to them. Aaaah, this is literally fucking with my heart, because I’m probably, most likely overthinking it haha.
I never understood how one could have a tc, in fact it weirded me out.
But boy, do I understand now.
I genuinely wonder what's it's like to not be emotionally attached to a man who I mean nothing to
Taking a page out of Regina George’s book
teacher crush? more like crush me under a bus
My tc told me off today in the middle of a corridor (not in lesson :/ ) and now I feel like shit. He was accusing me of skipping a lesson basically because he saw me walking around. He kept being like ‘Did you go?’ And I kept saying that I did and he was like then why did I see you walking around with E and I was repeatedly like ‘I still went though, I’m not lying’. I was literally about to cry like I think he could tell I was getting upset because he was like ‘you’ve got such a good thing going on here don’t let yourself down’ and then he left me alone. I felt like shit, if it was any other teacher I literally wouldn’t have cared but it’s because it was him. Tbh I hate being told off and the fact he was the one telling me off just made it worse, I couldn’t even laugh it off because I care about what he thinks. I kept saying I wanted to get in trouble with him I take it baaack, it’s horrible. Apparently his week’s been quite stressful though so maybe that’s what it was?? Because when I went to see him later to collect some work he was quite cold then as well siiigh, idk if I can do this whole having a tc thing. 🥺
being touchstarved makes u absolutely buckwild when someone does smth simple like .share a chair with u
Was back in school and this is exactly how it went 😂😭
I’m indecisive so I’m doing q8 from both July challenges 😂 @baeby-tc @sheisthesweetest-tc for the questions :))
8. would you be willing to become a teacher and teach your tc’s subject if it meant you two could be together?
No no no no no no x 10. I could never be a teacher. I do not have the patience to be a teacher. I would probably be fired within the first week anyway even if I were to be one..
I’ve thought about this a lot and the only year group I’d be willing to teach is Reception/Year 1 because those kids are so cute and some what tolerable but even then they’re crazy and super energetic and I just don’t think I’m cut out to be a teacher.
Also I had to tutor both my younger siblings for the 11+ and yeh no I could just never be a teacher lmao.
But subject wise I have no problems with English itself it’s one of my favourite subjects :))
8. Has your tc ever helped you with personal problems?
No it’s weird though cause he’s always like you can talk to me if you ever need to ladida every time I talk to him - I just don’t have enough gusto to actually do that. And also more generally because of the type of person I am (I don’t like talking about my problems with other people) I just haven’t ever taken him up on that offer.
But it’s super sweet that he lets me know he’s there yk. If any of your teachers ever say that to you and you genuinely have a problem go to them because they’ll actually care about what you have to say and will be there for you.
