Choklit Blog #8: Why did I sign up for Precalculus?!?!

*Dies*

Yesterday was my first day of college... I thought it would be easy since I only have 2 classes 3 days a week. But why would I think something like that? Of course, english actually was easy. Basically all we had to do yesterday was introduce ourselves, say something interesting about ourselves, listen to everyone ask the teacher stupid questions, write a paper around 350 words about how we feel about literature, and leave. The teacher isn't old or boring, which, obviously, is good, and she hates Shakespeare!!!!!! Yay!!!!! This is gonna be easier than any high school english class I've taken. We have 3 major papers to write and the rest of our grade is just class participation. Sounds fun, right? 

Well I'm taking Precalculus too, which is not fun. Or easy. Unless you're sadistic and think torture is fun. I was hoping to have a teacher similar to my other one who gave about the same amount of homework as I would be getting in english (which was nothing last night). The teacher wasn't bad. She wasn't like exciting or anything, but there was no droning on and on and on and on.... or falling asleep in class (not that I knew of at least, but I was sitting near the front). Anyway... the class wasn't bad. She said it's a really fast-paced course, so we'll be going over a lot everyday, which is why the class in an hour and a half. But I wasn't at all prepared for... the homework... *dies again.*

I came home. I sat down. My mom asked me about my classes. I told her about my classes. It was around 1:30. I started my homework. I took a break for dinner. I finished my homework. It took me 5 hours and 20 minutes. Just for my homework. AND I ONLY HAD HOMEWORK IN ONE SUBJECT!!!! AND IT WASN'T EVEN HARD!!!! It was just review work, so I pretty much knew how to do it and it was pretty much easy, but there was so much that it took me 5 AND A HALF HOURS!!!!!!!! I thought about dropping the class, but decided not to. I mean, if I dropped this class, I couldn't brag... *cough cough* my brothers couldn't brag that I'm taking a way harder math class than they are. And there's this guy in that class who looks like Rob Beckley, and I thought that was cool. Are those good enough reasons to do 5 hours of homework every other night? I hope so :P

OTHER RANDOM THINGS THAT HAPPENED THIS WEEK: I found out that I have a 4.3 GPA :D / I went shopping with my friend and our moms... and my brother came voluntarily, just cuz we're fun like that / I bought pink and black arm warmers / I ate pie / I was told, contrary to popular belief, that my blogs are fun to read / I almost fell over several times trying to carry my books... yes, literally / KEEP ROCKIN AND NEVER STOP --MC

well i don't think PreCal is meant to be fun. I think it is for those sadistic teachers and what they don't tell you is this is also the same torture they have used for prisoners for thousands of years! ok maybe not really , but u do get to brag now and that's always fun.
