Today I had a chat with the psychology teacher. A nice woman, although she is sure she understands me as a person and tries to open some truths to me, the truths I secretly laugh at.
Today she actually revealed to me that there is a lack of openness in the finnish people. That they (she doesn't think of herself as one of them) are locked down, and therefore very boring.
Oh, really?
I also heard twice from her that I am funny. More: absolutely funny. Apparently, her command of english would not allow her to use a more precise definition than "absolutely funny". But why does she think I am funny? Is it her psychological picture of me? Is it because of some occasions like the one earlier today?
I had to organize a trip for my class, and needed her supervision, so I went to her classroom. She was having a lesson, but still asked me in front of her class, what it was that I wanted. Not seeing any sense in talking business in front of the audience, I found nothing better than to say that I had deep emotional problems and came for professional help. In the mundane routine of the psychology class, this excuse for interrupting met cheering of other students.
I usually try to make fun of something I am bored with. I am bored with the schooldays, whatever is happening. So I usually try to entertain myself like the way have just told about, and optionally try not to offend anyone in the process. This sort of behaviour appears to seem funny to her, and so she thinks that funny is my nature. She is by far the worst psychologist I ever met. She appears not to understand me at all.
