I hate this class!

[Alysser]

Well, I guess everything turns out. My friend texted me this morning asking me to come to a lecture on the main campus with her because she didn't want to go alone, so I went along and got to do my paper right after. I got so stressed this morning as well because the portal (sign-in) which has EVERYTHING including college e-mail, schedules, grades, etc. on it wouldn't work for me. I figured that out to, but I was so scared I wouldn't be able to log-in on time to get my courses approved for tomorrow. This picking courses for next semester is killing me too. It wasn't a good week. However, I did wind up getting a 98 on my history exam and a 100 on an essay, not bad.

Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate being able to vent about anything here. ToBeEvergreen, yeah I know what you mean, the end of the semester kind of sucks, this is my first semester of college so I'm still learning all this stuff. Yes, I do have thanksgiving break which I am SO excited for, and winter break is heaven. I'm going on a 10 day cruise, can't wait. I'm going to treat myself to parasailing and snorkeling. Yes you'd think these newer programs were better, they're actually really annoying. The class itself is so stupid but it's mandatory. At least I got it out of the way.

Does it absolutely *have* to be done in Office 2010? If not, you could use something like Google Docs or OpenOffice.org to do it with all of the fancy junk professors want on it.

I don't understand what your teacher's problem is. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, but I'm glad you got everything sorted out.

You have SIX more weeks left? We only have 3 and a half-ish, finals, and then we're out for a month for Christmas.

By the way, you'll eventually learn that you don't have to do the readings for every class; if you skim and take notes on them, then that sometimes is just as good as reading the whole thing. 65 pages a week is a LOT.

Some classes you just have to grit your teeth and endure. I had one that I really dislike - the class, the assignments, but most of all the teacher, who was "seeing if he liked teaching" the semester I had him. I was so glad when it was over - and he went back to his real job! If it helps, make marks on the calendar each time you get through another one just as a way of counting the time!

It's people like this that make me hate technology. I'm so sorry that you have to put up with her unnecessary and demeaning nonsense. Don't let this get to you! Take it from the source.

I went to class today, she didn't say anything about the new essay. I better get a good grade.

I really can't blame her for the BS editing, since it's the department that makes it. She follows the syllabus like she's supposed to. I just didn't appreciate the nastiness. This class is honestly the stupidest class, it's learning about Microsoft office including word, excel, and powerpoint. What I don't get is why we have to do all the stupid minute bull they make us do. Like explode a pie graph, or make a tab a certain color...it's all just stupid.

I understand why your frustrated. For an associates transfer degree we have to take a computer essentials class and its SO stupid. You have to do everything in the specific steps they want you to or you get it wrong, even though there are several ways to come up with the same end product. Hang in there!

It's hard to adjust to college. They simply don't prepare you for the work it takes in high school. It's so worth it though. Especially when you have classes that are actually for your major.. so interesting! I feel like I just started.. and I just registered for spring semester and then I only have THREE classes left! Then I can apply for nursing school.

It will start flying by. Unfortunately on the way you'll have some sucky classes and teachers you don't like.
