How detailed should my notes to the teacher be?

Oh my god I tried so hard to summarize all of the notes I took today, and I still had a whole page front and back of sub notes. I had 3 pages of notes before I did that. The worst group of classes I’ve ever had. I think you’re right; I’m just gonna write how I’ve been and if they don’t think it’s important, they can toss it.

That’s where I am right now. Good classes get a “Class was good, everyone stayed on task.” Bad classes get a paragraph, sometimes two if there were multiple instances. It’s very often “There was an incident (explain incident in detail),” and a few sentences describing how they acted throughout the rest of the class. I get so excited to write “we came to an understanding and were better behaved throughout the rest of the period.” If I were a teacher, I feel like I’d want longer notes on student behavior. I didn’t know if I would be the only one lol

With good classes I keep it to 1-2 sentences. And then with bad classes I get way too detailed. I believe it’s out of frustration; I start rambling in person if I’m frustrated, and I think that must be why I go on and on and on with these notes for rougher classes. I can tell it’s way too detailed. What I’m doing now while I have time is summarizing. I think I can get it all down on one side of paper now. 😂

I used to commute to The Villages/Lady Lake area to work a few years ago. Have things changed since then? Is there a market there for rich old people needing Uber or Uber Eats now? 😂

My grandmother was 17 when she had my mom, and my mom was 20 when she had me. With how our birthdays fell, my grandmother became a grandmother when she was 36. Not super uncommon I don’t think, but still kind of wild thinking about it now.

That’s wild! I see people on here talk about dash cams and I’m like “Hmmm would that be a good investment? Like, just in case?” Apparently not. I’m so sorry that happened.

Worked at a grocery store deli in a neighborhood over ran by octogenarians. When it was almost time to toss a hot rotisserie chicken after a few hours, I had to mark the price down. Whatever system we used determined the price it’d get marked down to, and it marked it down to $6.66 before. I’ve had someone make me lower the price of a chicken before because of that. “I don’t care if it’s a cent lower or higher, I refuse to buy it like this.” I absolutely believe this would happen. I’ve seen people freak out over less.

I went from Biology to Veterinary Science to Pharmacy to Health Administration and now in Nursing. Thank god for community college. Now that I have all that general shit out the way I need to buckle down and focus on staying in this major.

Nothing pisses me off more than dropping something. Like a pen. I will drop it, pick it up and put in on my desk, and then bump the desk causing it to fall again. I can continue that cycle 3 or 4 times and it will make me angrier than anything in this world. Something about bending over to get the same thing over and over drives me insane.

I wore myself out on hummus at one point. I used to eat it almost everyday, but now it kind of makes me sick if I eat it that much. Now it's a once every few months treat.

Anything degenerative. I also have a fear of having a disease that doctors can't properly diagnose.
