This Work Never Ends - Jenny Hart, 2002 Hand Embroidery On Salvaged Cotton 

forever trapped in the cycle between “I want to talk to my tc because if I don’t I’ll feel like my day is ruined” and “oh fuck I feel like I’m being annoying because I talked to my tc again and he definitely knows that I like him and he thinks I’m weird”

i had her class today. it was a double period and we made eye contact so many times … she probably thought i was staring at her (i was)

we did the grammar stuff she was telling me about when it was just us two talking

but she didn’t tell the class anything about it like she told me

she is so hot i can’t

i have her class tomorrow but we’re just revising.

How to get closer to your tc

I see a lot of you guys upset because you and your tc’s aren’t close. But I have a few ideas, because I have gotten somewhat close with mine.

This is just excuses to talk to them pretty much.

Make small talk. Whatever it is, smile or wave in the hallway, come up and make small talk after class.

Go to extra help/tutoring. This was the main thing that got me closer with K. This is mainly if you have trouble in the area of the subject, but it’s great one on one. You can talk A LOT.

Emails. “My Tc Is ToO sErIoUs” STILL EMAIL THEM. Sometimes if you have a question, email them! Could even throw in a few friendly words.

Try to make them laugh. Even if it’s not direct. I once told a joke to another girl and I just hear this small chuckle from across the room. And there K is, snickering at my joke. So try that!

Almost forgot that some of you do online schooling! Not to worry, sometimes try to muster the smallest question up and pm them!

Here’s something I’ve done before: sometimes K makes us just do certain questions for homework, and I did an extra one, just to make small talk. If that works, do it!

Compliment them! I would mainly compliment their outfit, but don’t be too exaggerated about it.

If you email them, always start off with “Hey (tc), I hope you’re doing great.” That gives off “I’m being friendly” vibes to them, so they’ll be friendly too!

Ideas!

“Hey! I don’t understand (question). Can you explain it please?”

“*insert witty remark that would make them laugh*”

“Hi, I think I left my (item) in here. Have you seen it?”

“I like your (item of clothing)!”

Feel free to think of more!

last class w her , got photos including a few of just us two🥺

I don’t think I’ll ever forget you. But when I think of you, I won’t be remembering you as love, because you were far from it. I’ll remember you as my biggest heartbreak. You were a maybe. An almost. You were my dream that came to life, but for it to last was too good to be true. And to this day, I don’t think there’s anything more tragic that’s happened to me.

c / maybe one day you’ll become less of a core memory

this is my last year of school. only thing getting me through it is i can tell her my feelings at the end of it

.

imagine …

your tc marking an essay or test and smiling softly at the doodles and drawings you did out of boredom

choosing to mark your work first, so you get it earlier, or last, just to annoy you

your tc immediately recognising your handwriting and admiring it because it’s just so you

being SO. PROUD. when you get a good grade if you were struggling, even in another subjects

hearing you defend him/her in passing conversation with friends, and defending you if another teacher complains about you

your tc understanding stress and being chill about it, extending due dates etc because they want you to focus on your health

your tc admiring you while you’re in your element (besides their subject) like singing/art/etc

your tc looking at you with a smile and fighting the urge to wave as you pass their classroom without realising

noticing when you get a haircut or when you wear a new outfit/accessory to school

him/her letting you off with a warning about dress codes bc you kinda just rock it

your tc cheering just a little louder when you receive an award or achievement

a small part of him/her hoping its you visiting their office when they hear the familiar knock at the door

your tc giving you That look when people are being dumb and not paying attention in class because they kinda just wanna sit and teach you

yr welcome ( ♥︎ω♥︎)੭ꠥ⁾⁾˚ ⁺˳✧༚
