My stupid teacher ( of two of my classes, Intro to Business and Desktop Publishing ) takes off for crap she doesn't ask for. I had A-s in both those classes and then she takes off for crap and i have two Bs, not even B+ 
Like, we had to do a portfolio thing, max 30 pages, I did 15 and she takes off like 20% of my total points just for that, it was worth like 70 pts!
me: "C'mon, you never said we had to do a minimum # pages!!!"
teacher: "well maybe I should just give you 35/70 since you only did half the work!"

zuh?
Why must all substitute teachers have incomprehensible accents?
Try having a teacher like that for an entire school year. My history teacher, who I heard was an awesome teacher, entered into a foreign exchange program. He swapped places with a teacher from Ghana. I didn't learn a single thing in history throughout this entire year and I missed out on having a cool teacher.

While I was still in school 
p) I had a history teacher from FYROM who would speak in 2 different languages at the same time, combining random words and names from those. The worst part being that he didn't really know how to write in the Latin alphabet.... Understanding his words was hard enough, but it was absolutely impossible to decipher what he was writing. More, he was convinced that he is a great teacher and speaker and so he was actually correcting us natives when we were using the language right.
A teacher who doesn't speak the language properly is bad enough, but one who can't even use its alphabet right... heh.

I've got to bluff my way through an exam on European Integration tommorow. Basically all EU politics related stuff. Should be able to pass it just about.
Is anyone else in a course (maybe the UK?) where the actual end grade of your degree is only calculated from your final year grades? Mine is (at least I hope so, everyone tells me this) and there is zero motivation to try to ace any exams until final year. I'm not complaining, less work for me, but it seems a bit odd.

More evidence to support my stance that teachers should never be paid.

I have an exam today, and an exam tomorrow conveniently placed close together to bar all but the most organised students (an oxymoron if ever I heard one) from conducting thorough revision without forgetting stuff for the other exams (to make matters worse I had another exam on the Tuesday i had to prepare for)
But more critically than that, what the hell am I going to do with myself from Friday evening onwards? That's it. finito. The end of a crummy first year that left me firmly with the belief that uni life is damned overrated

I have 19 mini-essays, (one page or so), that I have to write before 5:00 PM Monday. Normally this wouldn't phase me, but they're about economics and not only is that not my strong point but it is the only class I have ever fallen asleep in.

History Exam went wrong the moment I put pen to paper; I couldn't remember anything clearly or concisely enough
fortunately it's first year so "doesn't really count" but the trouble is I like History and it's, for better or worse, one of the defining points of my personality (like the time a girl insisted on calling me "politics" despite me clearly stating what my name is, several times...
)
On top of that there's no real support from anyone; walked back with someone who only talks to me when they think I've got answers
So I got back, sat a while, made myself a cup of tea and then, well, flipped
- books, notes, shoes, everything went everywhere (within the confines of my room that is) at just the sheer FRUSTRATION of it all- to fail academically and be socially successful is one thing, to be successful academically but a failure socially is another, what what kind of hopeless, incompetent bumbling moron manages both!
(I feel the best way to convey it would be to do that thing where you dub over the subtitles in that film downfall where Hitler's shouting in the bunker, y'know, like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4V_w7VWwoVM)

I might turn homosexual, see if I have more look with other men.
That might prove to be more difficult than you realize.
