555 MRKT?... Marketing..I don't recall a class called that or requesting it. Most likely I didn't get into my requests. I don't know what this class is though.
It's possible that I may take that Spanish II test and then be put into Spanish III. Which would most likely change my entire schedule, hah. But I'm thinking I'm not going to take that test. I've been too busy this summer to work on it. And there is way too much work. I estimated that there is about 500+ vocabulary words. I've been trying to work on it lately, (especially in Illinois) but it's overwhelming. I feel like even if I started it early and such, I still would not learn all that much. Fit 10 months of work into 2.5 months? I think not. Even if I pass the test, I'd really much rather actually LEARN the stuff. Rather than cramming for a test and skipping the class, without actually retaining the things I should have learned. I do want to get into AP spanish..but I'm not even sure if I could pass the test. Plus I"m going to have to take it when I get back from Sweden. I was considering taking it yesterday (although I planned that a long time ago, before I realized I couldn't cover all this material), but then I was stuck in a Chicago airport for about 26 hours. Therefore, I wasn't even home Monday. I leave the Friday after next from Sweden. (I leave today to go.) Which means I'll be home Saturday...the weekend before school starts. So I've had to take the test Monday. (which I believe is not possible as it is Labor Day, correct?). School starts Tuesday, I'd have to take it that day afterschool if possible. But then I miss the first day of all my classes. Also, I know nothing about this test. I presume there is a MC portion like the Spanish I final I took this year. If there is a writing, I'm fucked. Speaking? Fucked. Listening..ehh. Good luck to me. This whole "Independent Study" program is a bad idea I think. In retrospect, I should have convinced my mumzy to get me a tutor to do it with me. I'm sure she would have. I personally need someone who really knows how to pronounce the words, otherwise I might learn it the wrong way. (Which means even if I find out later that I am saying it incorrectly, it will be too late to stop haha.) I hate all those lame exercises the Spanish teachers make us do over and over again. Usually because I already get the concept the first time they teach it. But now I admit it does help me remember I suppose.
I'm rambling...
Not enough time. Too much work. No help. Not informed of test set-up. Cramming.
Slight procastination. Book sucks. Book doesn't explain anything. Test Set-up Lady never called me back. Too much stress. Vacations in way.
Do I really want to spend my time in Sweden doing work? I think not..
Reason for me to most likely just give up. =(
I know that other people are having trouble last time I spoke to them, but I think they'll make it through. I just simply have less time this month than I anticipated. Sandra, how are you doing with it?
WHAT HAPPENED TO THIS ENTRY? hahaha..It was supposed to be my schedule, then somehow it turned into a full-on Spanish II summer study rant. Niceee.
Well, kids. I'm leaving for Sweden today. Comment if we have any classes together. Also, if you have information on the teachers I have, that'd be cool too. :) Especially what the full title of this "MRKT" class is. I won't be here to discuss it with you guys :( :(, so please leave me some comments.
EDIT: Apparently my schedule is fucked, there is no way I should be in Marketing as I have not yet taken World of Business. So I called the school, and they left a note on my guidance counselour's desk. (I will obviously dropping that class, I don't know what they will put me instead.) I'm thinking this will only change my A block class though, not my entire schedule. I am not quite sure.
Stupid mother-effers =p
hehe
