School Daze
Feb. 5th, 2007 09:19 pmOkay, my homework is finally finished.
The new semester is hard and I dread french. This is our first day and the lady assigned us 17 pages to read. We have a test on them tomorrow and I really don’t have the nuances of them down because I’ve not spoken or heard or read french in about a year. Great way to welcome us back into the course, when we don’t understand the language again yet. It doesn’t help that we’ve got the latest lunch possible and I am therefore quite hypoglycemic by the end of class. I wouldn’t even understand a story in English.
F already hates this teacher because she’s been a bitch to her when she drove her brother in late to school one day. I’m all for yelling at students, but only if they deserve it. She also failed the brother when she said she was going to pass him. I only have one side of the story and I think it’s prejudiced, but it does fill me with trepidation.
In Individuals and Families in a Diverse Society (or whatever that course is called. When even the teacher can’t remember then you know the name is too damn long) we already had an invasive essay to do. “Tell me about your family dynamics”, I understand, but still, I don’t like talking about my family that much. Then there was that questionnaire, “What’s your favourite thing to do?”, “ What’s your favourite TV show?”, “Have you done something you wouldn’t want your parents to know about in the last week?”, now, I understand that if I want to get into what I want to get into I’ll have to put up with stuff like this, but I’m going to complain about it until I can complain no more.
Numbers and Data Management looks surprisingly fun. Really. I was dreading it because of the whole math component but the teacher said that it is completely calculus free and so far it seems to be. It’s like no other math course I’ve taken. No more parabolas or exceedingly complex equations. It’s actually quite fun so far. He made us try to solve that impossible bridge theory for about five minutes before he told us it couldn’t be done though. The teacher’s funny and presents the knowledge in an attention grabbing way. I really hope I continue to like this course, because it’s the only homework that I found fun.
Surprisingly I passed Communications Technology and graduated into Communications Technology. I thought she was going to come after us when she’d seen our final project and be like, “Get out of my classroom and never come back. You perverts are the shame of the DSBN!” but instead she was like, “Ah, it was fine. You had me worried for a bit, but it was fine,” So we’re happy.
Anyways, my brain is more than a bit fried from all of this homework (translations are not fun) and I’m probably typing gibberish here. If I can read it tomorrow then it’s not too bad though, is it?
Oh, and a room update:
Still not clean. Retreat occurred, we shall wait a week to gather our defences before we go at it again.
