Today, marks my fifth day being an English teacher's assistant. I spent it like the other four days: grading and editing terrible Teen Wolf, One Direction and Doctor Who high school fan-fiction. Six months until I get out of here. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, during a regular checkup at the dentist, I got a wisdom tooth pulled out which resulted in me looking like a fat hamster. Tomorrow is my first day as an English teacher in high school. FML
Today, the Chinese student I've been teaching English to got on stage in front of hundreds of people to read her final essay. She ended with, "What a fucking day." I don't swear, and I no longer have a job. FML
Today, I've been sick for five days and I have two college essays and a exam coming up, along with a few other assignments. I've been working non-stop for five days with less than six hours of sleep per day, and more assignments are flowing in as I am working. FML
Today, my teacher said that since I was sick last week, I had to do all the work that the others had done, which I didn't know about because no one said anything about it. So now I've got to watch a total of 5 hours-worth of documentaries, and write analysis of them. Before tomorrow. FML
Today, I was hired as a student assistant. I was excited, until I learned on my very first day that "Supporting the academic staff in their research" actually meant walking the professor's dog. FML
Today, my parents got a call from my English teacher. She told them that I have 14 days of detention because I've been cutting class. I've been there every day, but apparently she never noticed me. FML
Today, I had 15 teenagers literally laugh in my face when I asked them to be quiet. I'm a student teaching in a high school, which is the culmination of 2 years of my life and $20,000, and I might in fact actually hate doing it. FML
Today, it was the last day of school. My students shared what they thought of me. Expecting to hear wonderful things, all of their complaints can be summed up in a few words: I'm a liar, a killer of dreams, I need to grow up, and I was a big disappointment to them. I'm a first-year teacher. FML
Today, I kissed my 3.5 GPA goodbye because my English teacher was too caught up planning her parrot's birthday party to put in the credit I deserve for three different essays I completed for her class. FML
Today, I realized some of my English students have just been going to their Philosophy professor to help them complete their essays. FML

Good luck with reading stories that start all innocent, cute and lovely... And always end with gay sex :)

Once, before I realized what One Direction was, I accidentally read a fanfic about them. It was written as if a 5th grader wrote it, but had smut. It was weird. Never again. When fanfics are written well, they are actually pretty good. I've read some fairly well written Supernatural and Harry Potter fics.

They used to give us a certain plot and genre we had to do for creative writing not fan fiction If someone handed that in they would have gotten a U or at least a F

The whole point of this is there's nothing wrong with liking those things and yeah some people can write good fanfics (although I doubt you've read any good ones from this class) BUT WHY TF WOULD YOU TURN THAT BS IN FOR A REAL CLASS unless you write it amazingly well which I doubt do not turn in fanfic kids.

They're in high school you asshat! You're supposed to be teaching them how to correct the terrible parts. If you're not seeing what's wrong with your post, you should go back to school and study anything BUT education.

I get the bad parts from one direction and teen wolf, but reading Doctor Who fan fiction shouldn't be that awful, either if the story is good or bad, it just shows that some people are still ablento be saved.
