Lesson Comments
This was the second hour of our two one-hour sessions on Thursday. I have to say that they second hour has never gone well with her. Today was an extremely bad case. After waiting for her for some time, I went looking and found her chatting in the conference room with three other girls, with the lights out. She said she wanted to skip this session, so I said "That's up to you, but I'll be waiting in the room when you're ready." Sofie came right away,, but something was definitely off. She was completely off the wall. I've never seen her behavior like this. I thought she was on drugs and asked if the other girls had given her something because I was concerned about what kind of reaction she mightbe having. She claimed that she had only been drinking coffee, had had a lot, and that this is how coffee affected her. I must have a huge sign on my forehead that reads Sucker or she has the most sensitive systemic reactions to coffee in medical history. We did not get anything done during this session.
