Does anyone else feel like this?

And if you do, how do you cope with it?

I sometimes get frustrated during class b/c my teacher asks rhetorical questions and pauses before he answers his own question - so I blurt out all the answers.

His questions on the test confuse me b/c he uses lots of cartoons and are very vague with multiple choices.

I obsess over the organization of my life, so I add brackets with a picture or symbol of some sort beside words that can be considered topics and I spend a lot of my money on IKEA furniture as opposed to food - so I just eat cereal and peanut butter toast most of the time.

Yes, I have trouble with this too, I just had a very sarcastic, joke-type professor that would instruct us in that way and I told my friend in the class, "why can't she just leave that part out?" oh yea, bc it's entertaining everyone else bc they can take the info AND the other stuff at the same time....


And food.... oh boy, if I could just live off of Cream of Wheat, ginger ale and an occasional pint of Ben & Jerry's, I would.

OMG...I hated test taking. Multiple choice would drive me nuts because I would spend soooo much time analyzing each choice.

And I can relate to trying to be organized, though any one looking in my "area" might not think so, I know where my stuff is.
I call it organized chaos

I was editing my sister's speech when I saw several rhetorical questions. I told her that I would delete them all. She was like, "No, no, no! Please don't! My speech won't be that lively anymore without rhetorical questions!" (Like you, I find rhetorical questions frustrating.)

I do not obsess as much on those things but I do hate the pauses people make when they talk. The most arguments I have with people is that I "cut them off". When someone pauses after they say something to you, you go to continue and they go "I wasn't finished" I say I did not noticed and I thought they where done, they say a paragraph is not made of just one sentence how could you not tell I wasnt done? Frustrating for sure.

I think your teacher should keep his rhetoric to himself! =P
