More school ramblings

I am not actually dropping Chinese so much as I am discontinuing it.  Bolded text is fun.  I don't do that very often.  Okay.  Moving on.  You all count yourself lucky that I already vented my rage on[livejournal.com profile] geozine .  Now you don't have to listen to me whine about my Chinese paper.

Anyhow, I stayed up to 3AM reading a play for English.  We were going to have a quiz on it, and I couldn't afford to blow it off.  Well, I woke up this morning, did my usual morning routine short of getting dressed, then I checked my email (yes, I check my email before I get dressed).  Class was canceled.  The professor's kid is sick.  So I went back to sleep.  If I had stayed awake, I could've done my homework for my economics seminar.  But I didn't.

I'm mostly annoyed because it's due time my English prof returned our paper in that class.  I'm curious what my grade was.  I did get my politics paper back.  That grade was so high that I am genuinely planning on going in and asking how the hell I got that grade.  Because you don't deserve any higher than a low A when you haven't even done the reading.

Also, I need to stop slacking off.  I don't say this in the sense that I need to stop slacking off in order to become a better person, because I don't much care about that right now.  I just need to stop slacking off because I'm not retaining information as well.  If there's anything I hate, it's wasting time.  I don't like having to go over things twice.  I'm not accustomed to it.  I just don't have the energy to actively pay attention in class.

Well at least you're finally getting on that need-to-stop-slacking-off idea. I was wondering when that was going to happen...

You are/were learning Chinese? Lol, sounds far too difficult for me. o_O

The giving-back-stuff-late seems to be a characteristic for English teachers. I've never had one who gives us our grades etc. quickly!
