My Teacher is the Beast

My english teacher hates me. On Sunday, a friend and I headed to Mitchel Park so we could make a movie for a project for her class. It was supposed to represent savagery, but I guess we went a little too far (fake blood EVERYWHERE). Anyway, it was a low budget film and it was finished that night. We had troubles with it, like finding a stuffed animal pig, but in the end I think it turned out pretty nice. Yeah, I know you can see the string pulling the pig in every scene and at one point you could see the person pulling the string (I covered it up with editting), but it still looked good. Upon finishing it, I realized the file size was too big for a CD. So I got my dads iPod and used it as a harddrive. I copy a low quality and a high quality version of the film and I was done. The Next day, first period, I had her. Knowing that copying the movie to her computer might take a few minutes I raised my hand and told her. "It could take a few minutes to put the movie on your computer through my iPod. I couldn't fit it on a disc." "iPod? That's not an availiable option to turn it in. How will I watch it again?!?" "I'm using the iPod as a harddrive so I can copy it on your computer." "But then my computer will crash!" What is she talking about!?! She had a mac OS X so unless her hardrive was full, there is no way it could crash. "Well I have a low quality version too..." She turned away from me. "Class, I am upset right now from the unpreparedness. Unprepared! Is it my fault you are too imcompetant to operate your computer?!? Or is it my fault that your computer can't handle a simple procedure like transfering!??! Well soon it was our turn to present. I set it up, nervously. Something I had done millions of times I was stubbling through. I knew my grade depended on doing this right. Finally the low quality was set and we watched. At the end, I unplugged the iPod (doing it wrong btw). I start to get up, but she set up the computer half off the edge. It starts to fall. I caught it just in time, knowing if it fell, I got an F. Today, she already graded it (what does she have nothing else to do?!?) My grade was a B+. Here is her reasons for the grade. Throughness was a 7/10 because "doing it the way you did doesn't allow for volume control or proper review." What?!? The volume was a little messed up but I left the movie on her computer! She can review it anytime! Creative thought and ingenuity was a 7/10 because parts were innappropriate. I will give her this one. Overall effort was a 10/10 but she said we needed equal roles. I was the main character. But that doesn't mean my partner didnt help. He got supplies and stuff. Under comments she wrote "how am I supposed to review this later?" BY DOUBLE CLICKING ON THE FILE IN YOUR DESKTOP!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG I just want to punch her! Yes I know a B+ isn't a bad grade, but she took off points because od her incompetance. I would've had an A. Is this the only reason why she hates me? My friends says I ask too many questions. Today I saw on her study guide a question about something under chapter 12 that happened in ch11 and decribed in detail and mentioned in ch12. I asked "why is it under 12? didnt it happen in 11?" "yeah" "so why is it in 12" "because its mentioned." I just want to punch her so much, and she probably feels the same for me. btw, the title is a reference from the lord of the flies, which I read in her class.
