My email response from Professor Dip*hit " Of course I think you are capable of writing about another subjest matter, I don't understand why you feel that writing a paper about military spouses is so insulting. I can not allow you to write about the works of Stephen King as it may offend your fellow classmates. You should be proud of your husband's service in the marine corps, and happy to write about your experience as well as the experiences of your fellow wives." Seriously. This was my response " There is a capital "M" in Marine. and I will write this paper, but please know that I find it ridiculous that you would assume that because I am a military spouse, I would want to write about them."  

Wow. Could you choose the topic? What class? 

She spelled "subject" incorrectly. 

psych... I am writing about how Military spouses cope with being Military spouses. I have one "subject" so far... I need two more. 

Your essay should go something like this: Being a Marine wife does not define me anymore than being the wife of Walmart stockboy would define you. 

I have to do 4 pages... 

Being a Marine wife does not define me anymore than being the wife of Walmart stockboy would define you. hehe 

How about misconceptions about the military/military life? 

I better get an A. 

Omfg, what a condescending a*sshole. Does he really think, that because you don't want to write about something you experience EVERY DAY, that you aren't proud of your husband's service. I'd drop that class. 

I have to do 4 pages 4 pages in MLA format? That's only about 1200 words which is nothin! You'll see 

How about misconceptions about the military/military life I was thinking of touching on that in my intro.... I want it to be more of the things that you aren't supoosed to think or feel because you are afraid of people judging you. 

EVERY DAY, that you aren't proud of your husband's service. I'd drop that class. I would love to, trust me. But I need it for my degree and hate to take it over since I only have 3 weeks of the class to go and have a 4.0 in it before I corrected his capitalization. 

I was thinking of touching on that in my intro.... I want it to be more of the things that you aren't supoosed to think or feel because you are afraid of people judging you That's a good one. 

My first subject is pretty interesting, because of what she is going through and how well she is handling her husband's first deployment. 

I thought the point of school is to learn. Why in the world would you want to write something you already know about? I'd rather write about something I have no clue about and learn as I go. 

SNM, is the student allowed to pick the subject? If so, I wouldn't write on that because you don't WANT to. Pick your own topic and do a kick butt paper. If he doesn't grade you fairly, go up the COC 

I thought the point of school is to learn. Why in the world would you want to write something you already know about? I'd rather write about something I have no clue about and learn as I go. I think that my teacher wants to learn it.. because he orginally stated that it is a paper he would be interested in reading. 

go up the COC hee hee maybe she should write about military wives' misuse of the COC. :P 

SNM, is the student allowed to pick the subject? If so, I wouldn't write on that because you don't WANT to. Pick your own topic and do a kick butt paper. If he doesn't grade you fairly, go up the COC It's not even worth the argument now.. I have started and have two other papers to write.. so I am going to bite my tongue and write all 4 freakin pages. 

How wold Stephen King offend people? I'm really missing that. I think I would be trying to get in touch with the department head, and if the professor is the department head then the admin. Unless you don't mind the topic. It would just royally p!ss me off if an instructor sent me that email. 

hee hee maybe she should write about military wives' misuse of the COC. :P Hey, everywhere has a chain of command dude! I don't know what the equivalent is in the educational civilian world :p 

The other topic was picking from a list of movies and analyzing the psychology of them... One of the choices was "Monsters Inc." 

Hey, everywhere has a chain of command dude! I don't know what the equivalent is in the educational civilian world :p I know, I just thought the use of COC was funny and it made me think of wives going up it. 

how Military spouses cope with being Military spouses We put on our big girl panties and just deal with it....what else does he think? He's an idiot. 

"Monsters Inc." ... W.T.F. For my abnormal psych class we get to evaluate a movie character. I really want to do Captain Jack Sparrow. Even if you go with the forced topic, I would contact the people above the instructor. That's not acceptable IMO. 

So who wants to be my other subjects??? 

"Monsters Inc." ... W.T.F. Can I just ditto that? I mean, Monsters Inc isn't a very deep movie. 

Gee, SNM way to clear a thread. 

Monsters Inc isn't a very deep movie My 5 year old would disagree
