Yawn

I was sitting in the school cafeteria yesterday and I overheard some people talking about the presidential candidates. Someone said he hated Obama becuase he's a "slimeball." WTF? A slimeball? What exactly makes him a slimeball? Idiot.

Anyway, I didn't go to the zoo today because I was just so tired. Between the whole parking permit debacle and my math teacher ruining my homework, I had just had a long week. But I'm going next week, don't worry.

I turned in my math homework on Tuesday and the teacher returned it on Thursday. He gives a lot of homework for the week, and I write big so I used a whole bunch of pages. We did four sections from the chapter, each one with its own set of problems. I guess I didn't do a good job separating the sections, because my teacher said I had completed only one section. Why do think I used so much paper to do one section, doofus? Anyway, I asked him to fix that. The homework is only worth ten points. He gave me five out of ten for that. So not a big deal, right? Well, I just wanted to make sure I got what I deserved anyway. If you keep conceding a couple points here and there, pretty soon you're down by quite a lot, you know?

Anyway, I think his homework policy is a little unreasonable. He gives you five points if you did all the sections and if you made and "effort." Then he picks five questions to grade and see if you got them correct. The thing is, he doesn't over the answers with the class until after you turn the homework in. So if you don't know how to do a certain question and you don't get help for it, you get marked down.

He decided that I got two questions incorrect last week. That doesn't make any sense because I always check my answers in the back of the book. And it was the first homework assignment. It's not like I forgot to check the answers. So what gives? He said he's gonna grade it again and return it to me next time. I hope he grades it fairly this time.

..... I have been doing homework nonstop for the past six days. There literally is no break. I do it between classes. I do it when I get up in the morning, and I do it before I go to bed. I guess that's how it goes in college. There's that formula that says for every one hour of lecture you have to do three hours of study. Well, I do four hours of lecture a week for math. So that's twelve hours of homework a week?? Yikes! I guess so.

Anyway, I watched a democratic presidential debate last night. Between only Clinton and Obama, since Edwards dropped out yesterday. It was very "civil," as the analysts put it.

So... I am still very tired right now. I'm going to go do some English homework.
