I'm still a kid

I was the kid who always yearned for my teacher's approval. In school of course. I had a teacher in class 4 who used to give us stars for completing homework on time. I used to run to her every day at the beginning of class each day to get the first star. Once, she gave me a plastic star that was the equivalent of 5 stars. I still have it with me. Then I grew up and started giving 0 fs in junior college. Partly because I disliked my teachers. Their approval never mattered. It was the same case last year. I didn't like the faculties I had in my first year either. Does it make me a bad student? Maybe. I don't know. Last year, the only thing I was worried about was getting yelled at. I did work hard, but my faculty never seemed to think it was enough. 

I absolutely love my new faculty. She's the best faculty I've had till date. I know I know, it's just its just been 2 days. Still. Today, we had to present our scripts in class. The ones we submitted yesterday. This time I wanted her approval desperately. I wanted to make a good impression. We were to giver peer feedback, and then the faculty would give feedback to us. People liked my script. I got good feedback from everyone. People found my script interesting and different. I was happy. Ma'am particularly appreciated some parts. 

I realized something today, I don't like criticizing someone's work. I don't know why. Every time ma'am asked me to give feedback, I used to say all the things I liked. All positive. One time, ma'am particularly asked me to say something I disliked or I thought could be improved. I didn't have anything to say. Or rather I didn't want to. I simply smiled. And she smiled back. And another classmate did too. I've noticed that every time I do or say something stupid there's this one person who smiles (I'm referring to my food remark from the first day). The class was fun today. Also, ma'am is such a sweetheart. It seems she hates online classes just as much as we do. She said that on both Monday and Thursday, the class will be till 4:30 (It's supposed to be till 6:30). She a sweetheart? है ना

I went for a stroll today. The purpose was educative, that's what I told my dad. "I need to get pictures for class". But that was an excuse, to be honest. I just wanted some fresh air. I attempted half route of my audio-guided walking tour. I realized, my route is much longer than I expected it to be. But today we were told in class that the path can be along, the audio file we submit should be between 15 - 20 minutes.

P.S. I take screenshots every day. Today's is my favourite so far.

How often do you find people laughing during an online class? Our ma'am is definitely the best.
