172. The Sour (Cream) German Teacher
We have 2 language teachers in our class, one is half Romanian/half German and she is sooo nice (let's call her Ms. Happy), she smiles and laughs all the time and she teaches us like we were kindergarten students. Making sure each one of us understands, she pantomimes exhaustively to teach us new German words and she treats the foreigners (Turkish, Thai) with even more attention because she has a huge heart, I love her for that. We all love her and all of us in class have great days full of laughter, active participation on the days she teaches. On the other days, Ms. Sour teaches, she is German and very, very (as the Germans say) "SOUR." She on the other hand, has a fixed frown on her face, her forehead is furrowed and her lips are pursed (like she's sucking a lemon), wears glasses and her entire wardrobe consists of browns and black, very drab (you get the picture). She is ever so strict in class and on those days, we are all very, very quiet and very, very bored. She barely leaves her seat all day and no one, no one ever raises their hands or asks questions, because she is so dismissive and gets flustered anyways, so why bother.
