Welcome to my world.


It's going okay, Psychology is cake, but english is kicking my ***. I don't pick up on formal writing mechanics that much, I'm more of a free-form writer, so it's hard to get the word/tense usage the teacher wants. Plus I managed to get a super hard grading english teacher on a summer class...

Haha, no kidding this was my thought process.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUU can't sleep... Too bad theres nothing to do....Oh wait, I will do what cwiz does when he can't sleep... www.the370z.com


I agree, English is a bitch. I got lucky and since my school has only engineering majors they overlook the english classes haha. I have friends that go to The University of Georgia, but they come down to my school and take their english classes during the summer because it is so much easier!

Good luck with the hard teacher. They are bad enough during a normal semester, but with a shortened schedule its going to make it 10x as hard.

Yeah, we have 6 weeks, and we meet 2x a week. I have to do 6 article reviews of 2 pages, 3 longer papers on a narrative, and argumentative, and a research base. And also get the required readings in... Ugh. I know it's not bad for more educated people, but for me its no fun.

Holy hell. If I had a class like that I would be all like

In both my english classes we met 2x week for 16 weeks. The first 8 weeks we got divided into 4 groups of 7 and each group given a movie. 1st week we watched the movie for group 1. Second week group 1 gave their 15 minute presentation on the movie. Third week watched group 2's movie. Fourth week group 2 gave their presentation.... and so on and so forth.

The second 8 weeks we were given 4 movies that we had to watch outside of class on our own and do a review of.

So literally I watched 5 movies and did 5 review/presentations over them. It was SO easy.


Side note: My teacher was 78. She drove a 1960's corvette and lives on a houseboat! Coolest woman ever
