Senior Year

So you know how they say senior year is supposed to be the easiest high school year?

Let me just tell you guys that that's total BS.

Honestly, I think this has been the most stressful year of my life. It's the first year where I actually get up on weekends to do WORK, and I haven't watched TV or played on my PS4 in forever! Thanksgiving hardly even gave me a break!

I don't even have any science or math classes this year (thank goodness!), but I have one AP class that's making my hairs go grey. The main reason: the student teacher.

Before the student teacher showed up, I was still struggling in the class but I had an A. But then she came up, and it's not that she gives us hard work, it's that both teachers come together and give us DOUBLE THE WORK. It's like having two of the same class each giving individual work.

So the main teacher is constantly bombarding us with essays and book reports and all that, while the student teacher makes us read the most painful documentaries every day and analyze them. And since it's so much, along with the fact that I have six other classes that also give me work, I just don't have time for it all.

And I'm pretty sure that student teacher hates me. I tried to do all the work they gave, but I honestly couldn't find time to read documentaries if I tried. We'd just discuss what we read in class, but of course she noticed that I wasn't getting involved in the discussions. So she started giving us pop quizzes.

To make a long story short, if you look at my grades in that class, it'll start out like this:
100
95
100
85
90

Pretty good right? But around the time the student teacher shows up, you start seeing this:
50
60
50
50
60
70
60

So I have all these As with the original teacher clashing with all the Ds and Fs from the student teacher. Not to mention she's really harsh in grading my stuff. Like, I'll work really hard on something I actually have time for and turn it in on time, and get like a 70. Meanwhile my friend turns it in late, gets points taken off, and gets an 85. Like I said, the woman hates me.

Somehow, the overall grade in that class is a B-, but it's my only B, so it still hurts... So I'm just waiting for that student to go the hell back to the states so I can try to catch up in that class again.

Ugh, I really just needed to vent. I can't wait until winter break. Whichever teacher dares try to give me work during the break will be burned at the stake and have their disembodied head sent to their families for Christmas.
