Yeah, so I'm thinking of dropping French. Well... I've already decided I will. I realize that I don't deserve a C or possibly D on my transcript just because the teacher has a horrible teaching method. She doesn't go over any of the vocabulary (and if she does, she just glazes over it), she barely preps us for the homework that we assigned for that week, and many other methods of shitass teaching. Now... I'm not going to spend my money to get a shitty grade because she's basically left the responsibility of teaching french to ourselves out of the book. It's a waste of my fucking time and money. If it was so fucking easy to teach myself french, I would have done it years ago and just tested out of the fucking class.
Of course, what sucks is the facts that our school requires you take 4 years of a language (you can opt one of those years for Latin or Old English which I've already done), they only hold one French 3 class every semester and it's usually at the ass crack of dawn, which there's no fucking way I'm going to wake up for (as if I could learn that early anyway), this is supposed to be my last year of college (I graduate in the spring), but in order to do that I have to have a full semester of classes this semester and next semester (that's including the fucking french class). It is possible for my degree to get departmental approval to take a second year of Latin (if you show great enthusiasm for it), but that would mean that to still graduate on time I'd have to ask either for permission to have an extended semester in the spring, or take it in the summer meaning my plans for graduation would be postponed, of course that is [b]IF[/b] I get departmental approval.
So all that bullshit included, another thing I will regret by dropping the class is the fact that I won't be able to rip the teacher a new asshole on her evaluation. I've NEVER had a teacher make her entire teaching responsibility to give us assignments and have us teach ourselves. I think that not only is it completely irresponsible and neglegent, but it's also despicable that a person like this can still be allowed to teach. At least in my other french classes (where I barely understood what was going on half the time) the teachers actually took the time to go over vocabulary in class, and annunciate things clearly and care about their students.
One last thing... I'M A FUCKING ENGLISH MAJOR! If I was good a foreing language, I would have majored or minored in foreign language. Ugh, I'm just really fucking tired and disgusted.
YAY! Proving my point why I chose to be an english major. All the really cool, interesting, and intelligent people are English majors.
And Tim... that's spanish. >:(
I'm with Timbo there...that's about all I know in another language. That and a few swear words in Italian but I don't use those much...I just say the English translation :o)
So how's the English major working out for ya?? I'm still totally up in the air on what I'm doing!
It's going well (with the exception of that goddamn foreign language). But yeah, I'm having a great time. I love reading and want to be a proofreader after I graduate. I figure, you don't need a Masters or PHD to proofread, so I can just get started right after college. That is, after I write letters to get hired. :P
Btw... Tim, it's "you" not "u". IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO ABBREVIATE A THREE LETTER WORD!
