At the moment, I don't care how stupid this sounds.
I've spent the majority of my time in an academic setting, since I was 5 years old and in kindergarten. I'm now 24 and in doctoral school. I will never be okay when someone randomly takes my seat midway through the semester. I actually earned recognition in undergrad for my irrational anger associated with "seat stealing". I think it's rude and inconsiderate. It throws off my balance in the room, my process. For me to learn, I have to find comfort and a familiarity with my environment.
So girl who decided to steal my workspace with weeks left in the semester for no apparent reason: I don't appreciate you or your general self-centeredness. Social cues are very important to peace and productivity. I didn't learn a thing in stats class tonight due to my distraction in a new surrounding. Our final is in three weeks. I'm on to you.
I'm sorta half totally joking on the seriousness of this offense on my list of general concerns.
This is reason number 245 that you are kinder than me!
ReplyDeleteI told a girl in one of my education classes in college that she had to move because she was in my seat. she apologized and moved to the next seat. I made her move again because that seat she took was my friend Megan's.
Did I mention this was the first week of class?
whoops. I sound crazy now.
we were in the same room for 2/3 of our classes! we all always sat in the same seats! I am crazy...
