i have every cause to be depressed, and yet, i'm just stressed right now. how great!

last night i took about an hour trying to do this excercise in the spanish magazine, which has vocab that isnt even in my dictionary, so i had to basically guess.

when i got into school, i found out that:

1. the answers were at the back.

2. i had forgotten my spanish folder for the 5th time (it just so happens that it contains my hmwk)

3. we had to learn stuff for a test in my spanish lesson today

4. and since i dont have my file, i cant learn anything from it.

so i do the whole excercise again and senora spanish didnt even ask for it.

only got 77% in phy. how annoying.

got eng, chem and phy coursework. eng is in for tom. the sciences are in on the same day.

did my preliminaries for the chem today. only found out that we had to take the amps for the measurement 2mins from the complete silence of the actual preliminaries. these are basically trying out 2 or 3 experiments to see which is the est one and how hard it is and what apparatus to use etc.

and i shouldnt even grace the word in plural, cos i ended up only working out how to do one thing. which was cool, cos no one else could figure out how to get those annoying thoings to stop swaying. and i did, cos i used a clamp. v. pleased with oneself at the moment.

apparently my french teacher has chronic fatigue syndrome. we've had these crap teachers for the last couple a weeks. first, an english (nationality, not what she teaches) oral teacher, now this annoying man who thinks we're really dumb. (plus they both keep teaching us the imperfect tense, which is the easiest tense ever.) now i'm starting to miss my old french teacher.

the annoying man made us do this average compre exercise, where u read the paragraph then choose answers a or b for like 4 questions. the answer is so obvious that you dont even need to read the paragraph in the 1st place. but as he was going through it w/ us, he made one person read a sentence, then he'd read it himself, then he'd make us repeat the words that the person misread, then he'd ask us if we understood. when we said yes, he explains it in english. challenging.

then, he made us answer these questions off the book orally. NB: the qestions are of the type: 'which mode of transport do you prefer?' to which you answer with any of the words learnt in the 2nd year. and we did those questions for homework the lesson before, so they're pretty learnt already. he goes on and gives us 5 minutes to learn the answers which could have been answered off-hand, and makes learning them homework for next lesson.

at the end of the lesson, he asks us what set we're in. "le premiere" we reply. "how many sets are there?" "cinq (five)" "so you're are the best set?" "oui (does the amount of sets make a diff?)"

"so you comprendez everything i say" "duh."

plus he forgot to give out our magazines. pretty dumb.
