Hmm. I had a math teacher like that, she got pregnant in the first quarter of school and left on maternity leave; she was new, young and gorgeous :-) I was a junior and just the age where girls get crushes on teachers but I didn't study and I remember she was going to flunk me and I'd never had an F before so went and begged her for a D-- So she gave me a D and told me she was going to check on me the rest of the year.

We got an older teacher, very strict (but good) and everyone was "afraid" of her and I still didn't do any work, but think third quarter I did, I did my homework more often, etc. and thought I was going to pull a C and she flunked me. Very demoralizing, went up to ask about it and she too changed it to a D-.

Do you have any other part of your life where people are just "passing through" like the teachers? Was the subject/elective something you wanted, was there disappointment or relief that you had a quarter where things were kind of up in the air? What was your rabbit doing during this time? :-)

"what's going on now WAS starting..but very little...barely noticeable" - kind of like the two-day teacher.

That makes me think of the fact that you and the two-day dream teacher had the love of rabbits, a very solid connection, in common. If it were my dream, it would feel to me like something I wanted, was really wishing for or was afraid of or afraid might not come true, a kind of 2-day teacher tenuous thing was trying to tell me that it would happen or that I would have the strength (the rabbit) to make it come true or be supported, that it would end with the binky? Maybe it is the family stuff evolving, reminding you that though the teacher was only 2-day, it all worked out okay.

Do you identify with the moving schools at all? My father was in the Navy so I moved a great deal and permanence was a big issue in my younger life.
