Why? As a Media student, why would anyone in their right mind take a science class? At first it was interesting, oooh nazi experiments and old farmers with syphilis, it sounded like an indiana jones movie... but now I'm writing a 2000 word essay on psychopathy and eugenics and the article I'm using as reference just soars over my head. It's really quite frustrating, but then again, this whole semester is really a fucking bitch. Out of school for a year and a half, who'd a thunk going back would be this hard? I mean it's all so different while not being different at the same time. Teachers seem to rely more and more on the online functions offered through the school's website, but they won't mention it in class so I'll show up and the teacher will be like "so does everyone have their homework...?" and I'll just be sitting there stumped... everyone else seems to have done it, so I lean over to the nearest mouthbreathing kid sitting next to me, "hey... when did she assign this?" and he answers, "It was on the CLEA program on the website..." and I just there cursing to myself. I mean It's great that you can get your essay topics and what not from the internet now but is it too much to ask for the teacher to announce it in class anyways, or atleast mention in passing that maybe just maybe her class assignments will be posted on the internet for the most part. And also, Plagiarism... I know it's a problem, who doesn't right? But now instead of having the teacher tell you "don't copy blah blah blah" you get a 3 page write up in each class that defines in precise detail what the hell plagiarism is, and it's like 3 or more words from a certain text without proper credit or quotation is concidered plagiarism... and on and on... I'm actually drowning a bit in all of this, I've never felt overwhelmed with school, I've always cruised by, not with the greatest marks, but atleast passable marks, but now I actually find myself begging teachers for extensions and comming in on days I don't have school to hand it assignments to get extra marks... and the worse part of the whole thing, I'm getting even worse grades then when I didn't try...
I'm leaning more and more towards dropping cegep and applying to university as a mature student, I haven't really decided yet, but it is become more and more of an option as the year goes by, I'm sitting in cegep while everyone I know is either almost done university or have moved on to full time, well paying jobs... OR BOTH!!! And I know it's my fault, I know haven't been the hardest worker, but it is frustrating to think that after this semester, there's still a year to go, filled with gym classes my pudgy ass doesn't want to take. If I can pass all my classes this semester (highly unlikely) then the next two semesters won't be so bad because i'll have french and humanities out of the way. Leaving me with 8 classes relating to my program, which translates to easy but boring seminar classes with teacher who look and talk like Tommy Chong, which sounds inherently fun, but after 3 hours... It's not so fun. I should probably get back to writing this ridiculous science paper so I can get some sleep for my 10am to 1am day tomorrow. (school from 10 - 4, then work from 5 - 1) then I come home and write another essay, although easier, still a pain in the ass. Wow... this entry has been long.
... I wanna go back to London.
