Winter break is literally about to end and I've just been doing nothing sleeping and rotting for three weeks straight. And now you're telling me I have to GO BACK TO CLASS??? I don't mind my school that much, in fact the people there are nice and teachers are supportive. However there is one exception. My avid teacher.
Oh. My. Goodness. Do not ever get me started on her. In the fall semester when I first saw her I hoped she was my teacher because she was fine shyt and curvy as heelllllll. I wish I could take that back. I understand that she's an avid teacher and it's a college prep class. but my literal PROFESSORS grade lighter than she does. In every single assignment, she deducts many points for things we weren't supposed to look out for. She says that to earn 100% you must exceed the requirements you were given and yeah I get it she wants the assignments to have effort put into them. But she'll remove points if you don't do something she never specified.
For example in the fall semester she gave everyone an assignment just to take focus notes (if you know what those are, my condolences). She said to us that we need to use a highlighter to highlight important information. Like normal notes. Duh. But what she didn't say is that we needed to use at least two different colors and write on the bottom what each color means. She removed 25% from the grade to anyone who didn't do it. Which honestly I guess isn't much but there was many other criterion she gave us.
Actually, I'm sorry, that's not true. Let me correct myself. I stated she deducted 25% from ANYONE who didn't do it. Of course since she never gave us these instructions, no one did it. But only about ~3/4 of the class were actually effected (affected?) by it. Maybe it was by mistake and she just.. forgot. But I won't forget how annoying some of my peers were flaunting their better scores on the assignment (not even a test) when in reality they didn't do anything to deserve that.
It got to a point I don't even do her assignments some of the time. I know that with how she grades, if I just didn't do it, I'd still end up being equal to someone who tried their hardest all of the time. Which could be right. Most students got a B in that class. Including me.
I don't just hate her assignments. I hated her final. I hate this is a required class at my school. And I hate that she's the only teacher who does it. If only I could just switch.
Okay back to the final. We had to create a presentation. Great. Easy. Right? To create the presentation, there were a whole lotta steps we had to complete beforehand. It included finding an reaching out to an organization, conducting an interview, and then going out to volunteer for that organization. I wouldnt have really minded this honestly if I could've worked with my friends. Actually, she did let us choose our partners. But I unfortunately did not have any friends in that class. So I'm stuck with a group where NO ONE gets along. Worst part is, the project is going to continue into the spring semester.
This class is why I hate my freshman year (and some other things, but whatevv).
I was eavesdropping on some of my classmates in my Catholic confirmation classes who go to another school with an avid program and they were talking about their "final." No project, no hassle, no trying to convince your parents to take you to the middle of nowhere because your partner was so stubborn about where they wanted to volunteer. Just. Taking a trip to UCLA. What. I almost could not believe my ears.
I also haven't fixed my sleep schedule. I'm writing this at 1AM before school because I just felt so strongly about that one teacher. I do not want to see her tomorrow. I'll just have a cup of coffee in the morning. Oh well.
