What to do?

I'm all about the OKGO.
and my classes- NOT! religion is fun, and will get better, but for right now it's sort of nebulous ans slowmoving. greek... don't get me started. at least mlle. schryver taught me all about the wonderful world of flashcards. core 102, fun, there were so many different levels of the odyssey that i just didn't get when i was 14... make sense. guitar is fun. hard, but fun.
Core 111.... that's gonna be the hard one. this shouldn't be a teacher bashing session, but it'll be hard to hold back. i asked if it was ok to have the 5th edition of the MLA, bc we have the 6th and i figured the margins you need and bibliographies probably don't change that much. so i asked and the teacher.... she didn't go postal she went subtle postal. she went on and on about the new 6th edition, given it's probably over 5 years newer. but no, she doesn't stop there.
Her: Well, did the bookstore sell you that? they should have had the 6th edition.
Me: oh, no, I had this from before.
Kate: (backs me up, reminiscing about sophomore year and (gulp) Mr. Mitchell)
Me: yeah, so i just thought the 5th edition might be ok.
Her: sohpmore year?
me and kate: yeah
Her: (pause) well, that was then. this is now. get with the program.
maybe she thought she was being funny... i don't know. but when my question somehow turned into a lindy-insult, i was really hurt. what really bugs me though is the apparent lack of respect she has for me. she needs control. i asked what book i need, and she goes nuts. seriously, i'm not immature i respect her already as a teacher, her whole schpiel made me repsect her less, not more, as i think she wanted. it's really crazy. we were filling out name-email-etc. cards, chatting, she was like, "total silence!" i think she has a complex. or we get a little off topic, she points it out instead of stearing us back on track. she points attention to it! i really don't like her. it seems to me like she thinks we're total trouble makers and she has to stave that off before we take total control- no looking back!! if she respects me, i will respect her. but until that time, i will dread out 1-on-1's. damn. of course i did go out and get the 6th edition- i thought for a little while about having some silent 5th edition rebellion, but that only hurts me. not a fan, not a fan.
on a completely different note- it's so hot here! i sweat all the time. ick. my roomie is rushing- i feel sorry for her. really. so i think i'll go to bed now. because i'm not rushing. ha ha.

is it too late to switch out of classes? if you really don't like one of them...
it's so cool you're in a class with kate. there are how many thousands of freshman? random.
well, have to take the two core classes... so no getting out of those. i can't drop religion bc it's my major (right now it is), and i'll have to learn greek eventually. most of the classes i'd take instead of greek, for a ge, are ful next smester, though, shuld be better: Core 104 (have to), Greek 2 (might as well), writing (i think i have to take another writing 2ns semester), a GE (a physics class, or maybe an art history one) + 2 units of guitar or a PE, maybe. who knows.
why do you have to eventually learn greek? i mean, there are religious texts in hebrew and sanscript and arabic too... you're not learning those.
yeah but i want to be able to read the NT. I might learn hebrew eventually, probably not. plus, of all of them, greek is probably the easiest (even though it's really hard), i mean easiest for an english speaker like me to learn.
