So of course the one day I skip my E200 class is the day he handed out our take-home midterm...thank god it's a take-home midterm, and not one I missed in class. For some odd reason, I was convinced midterms weren't until next week, so I was slacking off without realizing it. And then this happens (totally my fault of course, but still disheartening). I guess I'll have to start being better now. What with a Japanese test coming up in a week too! They are really killing us with this chapter; everything in it is twice as hard and takes twice as long to do, but in a week less than we normally spend on a chapter. Plus, we get reprimanded in class for not having the sudden urge to, on our own time and whimsy, memorize Japan's cabinet members. We were lectured for not knowing Japan's education minister. Hell, I don't even know who the secretary of education is in America. Plus our whole class kind of failed the last test because the listening portion was so godawfulimpossible to make out with only one repetition. Even the people that studied abroad got like 70%. I know we're going to be lectured on that one too.
And to top it all off, now I'm having paranoid dreams about missing homework I don't even have in real life. Good lord, I need to calm down.
crazy japanese department,
homework,
stress
