Here I Thought That It Might Be A Good Day....
I actually thought that today might be a good one, I really did. But no, I had to have hopes of that trashed with a simple email by my English 300W professor. That basically shot my somewhat of a good mood to hell, and now I am irritated, beyond irritated really. I'm more along the lines of being seriously pissed off. There is a fine line between being really disorganized yet functional and being so disorganized that you can't function at all. I think that my professor has crossed that line, and now everyone in the class is suffering because of it. I'm seriously going to have to cram for this damn test and its pissing me off.
Damn it, I had to finish a 5-6 page paper on a book that I absolutely had to force myself to read, and on top of it all I managed to not just get within the required page amount for the assignment, I actually went over the amount coming with almost six and a half pages. In itself it wasn't that hard to write when I actually got going, but editing it in the style that was wanted was annoying. That took a while in itself, and if I knew that the teacher would go and pull a stunt like this, I would've dropped the paper in favor of studying for the damn midterm! I still don't get why she just didn't email the whole class when she found out that the midterm and the library tour that we were supposed to go on would be switched, especially because of the fact that she specifically said herself that she would "give us a heads up about it as soon as she knew for sure" if they were changed or not. What really is screwing us over is that in itself because being told since late February that our midterm was on the tenth of March and the library tour was on the eighth was what we were expecting. I know that things can change on the syllabus, but this is just too big of a change in so little time.
Whatever happened to emailing the class when there would be changes to the syllabus, giving us time to actually prepare for whatever was now due the day that we had our next class because of the changes? We need an adequate amount of time for this to actually be effective. It will hardly matter much if we're emailed five days before our next class, even if the class only meets twice a week. That still isn't enough time for most, and with everything that we had to do this week I wouldn't be surprised that most of the class would be irritated in one way or another because of this. All I know is that I'm going to split up the sections that I have to go over by twos and focus on them that way each day so I don't cram everything in on one day alone. That's just a way to really screw myself over and I'm not in the mood to even do that to myself.
I'm going to be in a bad mood for the rest of the day now. This has pissed me off to a point that I'm glad I'm not on campus. If I was, I would be going in person to complain, and then things might not be as civil as they sound now. Oh, I'd still be civil, but it would be definitely a hell of a lot more snappish sounding than it sounds right now. In that respect, I'm glad I am at home; just because I can vent my anger though video games on my ps3. That will be something fun to look forward to later. -Sigh- I'm going to get started on reviewing these first two sections....the sooner I'm finished with them, the sooner I'm done with studying for today. I should probably make myself some tea while I'm at it, I feel like I'm going to need some caffeine by the time I'm finished.
Well, this is interesting. I just found out that the midterm isn't going to be the Monday that I go back to classes thank god, but it's going to be on the fifteenth, which makes things a hell of a lot more easier to study for. This way, I can study a section for about two days at a time and still be adequately prepared for the midterm. This is somewhat reassuring to me, so I'm not going to have to study as much as I thought I would have to today. It looks like complaints do get noticed. I'm still a bit irritated, but not as much as I was before. Still, this whole mess was and still is annoying.
At least I know that I can go over one section in the Bressler book for my English class a day to prepare for the midterm. I don't have to go and try to cram in two sections, which really would mess everything up. Che, and here I thought I'd be finished with most of the annoying crap in that book too....I really am not one for boring history. I like history, but to bore me with almost all of what I have to read for the class--I really wish that the midterm was on something else. I can't really change it, so I'll study as much as I need to. After that, I'm going to work on AQH and Masks because I'll actually have the time to. I'm not happy that I have to move around things, but I'll adjust to it. It's all I can really do now.
