I know, I know. I dropped off the face of the planet. Not that I think anyone noticed; but, whatever. So I'm going to rant, so if you're not in a rant-reading mood then click the lovely little back arrow and go about your merry way.
Anyway, this past weekend I had a four day weekend. And let me tell you, I was so excited about having a break! But no such luck. I got saddled with not one BUT TWO projects to do over the long weekend. I'd known about the anatomy project for a couple of weeks before the long weekend, so I'd already started on it. But the Worldview project just sort of came out of the blue. So I spent my ENTIRE long weekend working on homework. I cried a lot because I felt so stressed and pressed for time.
Monday morning [yesterday] rolls around I was realived as I turned both projects in. I handed my Worldview paper to my teacher, she looks at it in disgust. I'm of course, having a 'oh my God, I thought I did this project right' moment. Everyone got this reaction from her--and she's usually a really easy-going teacher...So needless to say, I spent the rest of Monday going into conniptions because I was worried that I'd get a bad grade. I kind of took solace in the fact that she seemed disappointed by everyone's papers...
Well, this morning we all get our papers back--as well as a nice long lecture about "not following directions". What the hell? So, I got a 55. An EFFING 55!! I've never gotten a 55 on a paper in my life. Hell, I've never gotten below a 60 on ANYTHING in my entire scholastic career. So, she lectured us about not paying attention or taking notes when she told us about this project. Oh wait, let's stop and think a moment: I TOOK NOTES! I had my laptop out that day, and I have a text document saved on my computer of what she told us this damn project was supposed to be about.
Our teacher also gave us this nifty little sheet of paper that detailed EXACTLY what she apparently wanted on this paper. I used the damn sheet she gave us to write my paper. So I had a concrete set 3 page essay with exactly what was on the sheet she gave us. It was well written, well thought out, and overall well done. But, when we got the papers back she graded them on a COMPLETELY different criteria, then what the sheet she gave us said she would. The sheet she gaves us said that a certain part of the essay would be worth so many points and so on and so forth. The grading sheet she gaves us had COMPLETELY different point values, that weren't even close to the original point values.
So just whatever. I don't know how to please. I'm just so tired of everything right now. I just want to go home, crawl into my bed and not get up until I'm done with highschool.
