Does This Mean It Was a Waste of Time?

Ok. So we have homework assignments where we have to answer questions from each chapter. I read the chapter weeks ago but I was DUMB and didn't answer the questions right away and it is due tomorrow and now I have to read it all over again because I forgot what I read when I read it the first time.

In conclusion, I will never do this again. UGH! It was so...hard to understand, too. All these... WORDS. Even the easy-to-understand words are annoying me now.

Words I Hate Now Because They Keep Popping Up:
1. context
2. cohesive
3. analysis
4. cognitive
5. perspective
6. longitudinal
7. inquiry
8. collaborative
9. dynamic
10. evaluate
11. accelerated
12. approach
13. pedagogy

And pretty much any hyphenated words, like "inquiry-based" and "non-Anglo-European." I'll read all these and realize they're words we should all know, especially as college graduates, but they just irritate me now. It's like when they keep playing the same song over and over on the radio. At first you're like, "I guess it has a place in musical history," but eventually you get angry. And bitter. And then you want revenge.

But burning books is bad and I paid a junkload of money for this one and I still need it, so it will be with me a while longer, telling me to pay attention to the context of this cohesive analysis that should be examined from a cognitive perspective due to this longitudinal inquiry being a collaborative and dynamic effort with the purpose of evaluating an accelerated approach to pedagogy.

Or something. What does that even MEAN? WHAT DOES ALL OF THIS MEAN!? Just say "We think the way teachers teach now sucks and we think they should actually ask kids questions about their own opinions instead of making them copy stuff off the blackboard all the time."
