If I Would Have Known Monday Was Gonna Start Like This - I'd Of Gone Back to Bed!
Question: How the HELL DOES ONE GET A D+ ON A TEST WHEN IT'S OPEN NOTES????
Answer: When the teacher is a fucking idiot.
So I'm sitting in history this morning, pretty annoyed that I almost missed my bus. Everything is fine and dandy the entire class, I took detailed notes and payed attention - no problems. Then he hands back last week's test and I see a big fat D+ marked at the top of my scantron. I studied a LOT for this test - WHAT GIVES?? I have detailed notes and test reviews I write at the end of every chapter to avoid something like this happening. I knew all the answers!!!
Get this.
I ask to see a copy of the test and spend a couple minutes looking over it. Each question has four possible answers - I scan them and realize on every question, there are TWO possible right answers. Apparently we're suppose to pick the one that's worded the way HE likes it. Which of course, makes no f'ing amount of sense because everytime he reviews during a lecture, he words it differently. This is some messed up bullshit right here. And being the uber-serious "hi im a Dr. of History so I'm going to be Mr. Mean and glare at you while I drink my latte and act like I'm above you in every way possible" type - it's all final once the test has been graded...even if he knows he's being an unfair prick.
The rest of the day went well though...figures. I was throughly amused at the complete corny nature of the piece we're playing in my beginning instruments class "Concerto Extremely Grosso by Looswig Von Beethoven" - it's Beethoven with a bunch of country hoedown stuff mixed in...amusing, but also disturbing...makes me imagine hicks celebrating at one of my brother's nascar races. Biology was fine too - we're studying genetics, which is my best subject. I even got out early and caught the early bus home. I JUST WISH MY DAY HADN'T BE SOILED BY THAT STUPID HISTORY TEST...AUGH.
