The truth was that I tried to imagine the teacher naked and it shook me to the core; unerringly I questioned what fathomless depths of torture and darkened impurities lay within that fertile landscape of imagination. Besieged by these thoughts, the only choice was to seek refuge from her teachings and thus I dropped out of Business Management. Mondays are peaceful now, I ponder deeply into Australia’s History and feel better for it.

It’s not long, barely even a page. Yet so intricately woven with jargon and exercises conflicting with my sense of ethics. Business Management, the bane of my existence. No, it’s not the course itself, nor the course topics. In fact, the problem is the teacher. A biomechanic culmination of all the worst teachers I’ve had brought together into a confusing and frustrating psychotic teacher from hell.
What’s that I hear ‘Why don’t you just quit?’ Like the girl this morning, frustrated that the teacher wouldn’t let her talk in class, so she walked out annoyed. What next, look for another subject that fits her idealistic vision of perfection. No, I will not surrender. I accept the gauntlet she has whimsically thrown down amidst paranoid delusion and prejudices. Though I have the full support of the entire class, I cannot rely on them. This journey is only as lonely as the final exam and SACs in between. No, there is a path through it, that is what will make this year much more a challenge than Literature ever was.
From Psychology we know that if something is tedious, we will lose our enthusiasm to learn. I will endeavour to make Business Management interesting somehow, even if I have to imagine the teacher naked.
