Curse that little green book
Guess what I get to do? Copy two verbes out of the Bescherelle, all tenses. Yeah, two doesn't seem like much, but consider the fact that every single verb in there takes up a whole page in eeny-weeny font size. Life sucks right now.
Busy work like that outta be illegal. Especially when it's "punishment" for something we never did.
What happened was this. Some kids acted up in French class and got the teacher all pissed, the way she always is every class. So she goes: "Ok, class. Because two people out of thirty were being bad, I'm going to assign pointless extra work to the other twenty-eight that never did anything as well as the two that did. Yay. And it's perfectly fair because you children were bad so I'm punishinig you. You ought to thank me because I'm helping drill behavorial manners into your thick skulls."
Not like it's the first time this has happened. It's just the first time that it's this measure of pointlessness. Before it would be extra pages in our workbook, extra vocab words, or staying in after class. But pages of conjugation? Why not! This way she doesn't have to correct anything extra. Just look over it and say "great!"
So now I've pages to copy. Excuse me for two hours.
Oh, and did I mention I already had French homework? Namely, eight pages in the Ricochet, plus correct two dictees.
I think sometimes she forgets that other teachers give homework too. Actually, I think she forgets that we have other classes at all.
So after I finish French, I will go do my two pages of Geography homework, plus my technical drawing for ITT, plus newspaper article responses for MSI, plus memorise my character analysis for English, plus do my interview/biography for English. And also study for the Geography test next week. And hope I did well on the one I had THIS week, and the Biology test yesterday, and the Math test, and the MSI test today, and the four Art assignments I handed in yesterday, and the English film to be presented soon, and the French film last monday and ...
As you can see, I didn't really spend my four-day weekend well. Because I used it up on doing the film for English. And the weekend before that, too.
I NEED A BREAK, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!
