Kathy and i were talking and we decided pt. was yea not near the level of quality i wanted it to be. So i will now do pt. 2 of period 6 to address some of the other problems with this class. Death is inevitable, though we alll konw that it never does help when we lose someone we love, though i never knew her this post is dedicated to Graciela Ramirez and all those close to her. I saw the walk-a-thon posters were made and i noticed a fund raiser at wawa, its nice to see people doing something other than turning off their TV's and saying "Oh, what a shame". It's sad that the best of people only comes out when we lose someone.

The only thing that can make you feel worse about yourself in a class than getting all the answers wrong on a test is being divided into groups of intelligence and being in the lowest. I would know. Now when i first heard we would be broken up in groups according to how well we did on our previous test i was shocked. Were test grades no longer a private thing? Of course we share our tests among friends but it doesnt look good when the weird kid is put in the stupid group, kids have even more reason to make fun of what they dont understand. Our class was divded into three groups: Red, White, and blue. How patriotic, using the colors of frances national colors really brings me a warm fuzzy feeling every time i see the blue stripe, i say "Thats me! the stupid stripe!" White was mildy unintelligent, and Red was top of the class. Now teachers could defend themselves by saying its a motivational tool in order to get kids enthusiastic about getting into the top group. Well here a message to all you teachers out there who will probably never see this, the one thing you must remember while teaching a class is that all teenages no matter how hard-core thuggin, have extremely low self-esteem. No body likes to be told their at the back of the class. Especially when its in a class where you cannot do anything like pay attention in order to get ahead since WERE NOT TAUGHT ANYTHING!!! Luckily these groups were abondaned after a few weeks of confidence destruction hour every day of the week. Next topic: Midterm. While not a favorite time of the year with many, beleive it or not I LOVE MIDTERMS. They dont take long to study for, i did great on them, you get half days for a week, free periods are long and joke classes are easy to skip. Its paradise. I mean sure i had a blister on my middle finger after the english essay, but hell id take a blister for a week of halfdays any day. But thats besides the point, because no perfect week could prepare you for an hour in hell. The midterm was the most random test ive ever taken. First of all she told us we had already taken the test, then she busts out these packets claiming she told us all about them. Luckily it was mostly on planets so i got an 87, but seriosuly who gives a midterm without tellign their students whats gonna be on it? My french teacher. Now dont think this is the first time this has happened, oh no, she has a history of such pop quizzes that she "told us about". But since the teacher is always right, then undoubtly the students will always be wrong. Next on the list are her random projects that have nothing to do with what weve been "studying" for the past month. For example: our last few weeks have been devoted to astronomy when today i had to give a presentation about my new computer. Random class itinerary? check Crazy teacher? check Class from hell? Mos Def. The one thing that keeps students alive in her class is getting in trouble, which is pretty much whenever a student: turns around, asks for a peice of paper, or a pencil, talks, whispers, asks to go to the bathroom, eats, drinks, chews gum, shuffles their feet, squeeks their chair, stands up, walks around, doest have the hw that she never assigned, did poorly on a test, asks her what were doing, asks anything, compains, mumbles, talks in english, talks incorrectly in french, writes incorrectly in french, doesnt write, doesnt write enough, doesnt write the correct passage, doesnt wirte the correct sentence on the board, doesnt write on the board, does write on the board, shows up late, forgets their book, asks for a book, or breathes. But under the very rare slight occurence that a student breaks any one of the said rules they are rewarded with one of the funniest thing ever, if they dont die of intoxication first. Our french teacher has a weird thing where if she begins to scream at a student while talking she just finishes the sentence in a yell. for example: a kid is talking to the kid behind him and the teacher notices, her response would be (in french of course) "now take our your text books and open *slams hands on talking students desks* TO PAGE 63!!!!!" then gives an angry look and continues with the "lesson" if you dont have this teacher and are having trouble understanding this phonomenon imagine a teenager going through puberty who's voice is changing, but instead of spikes in pitch in their voice imagine cracks of volume. Any human being with a sense of humor will immediatly burst out laughing when an even such as this takes place. It is one of the few things that keeps students sanity. But of ocurse as all things in this class all perks and jokes have a downside, for example: screaming at kid=bad breath. Imagine, hot, steamy, liquified sardines, wrapped in decaying skin, mixed with tar. Your now about half-way to the actual thing. Theres no experience like being there for yourslef, it is hell. I dont even want to talk about it for as i write past memoies of this horrible event return and i find my throat clogging up, next topic please. Wednesdays, or tuesdays, or sometimes thursdays are ALWAYS journal days. So dont forget to always bring your journal on , tuesdays, or sometimes it will be on thursadys, but then every now and then its on wednesdays... crap this class sucks. My favorite thing to make fun of this class about is when she praises me for doing better in class when she has us copy verbes out of the book. Example: Her: "Very, good nick im glad to see you are doing better, i guess coming in at break really helped!" Me: "Actually i just copied out of the book" Her: "No, but still you did it very well" Me: "No, i dont think oyu understand, i didnt do anything, i just copied it form this page to here" Her: "Well im glad to see your improving." Me: *takes sword, thrusts through stomach while cursing as i see my own intestines fill the floor and freeze over in a matter of seconds*. That is french class. Its getting late, im tired, but im really happy because there is a ladybug on my desk, and i love ladybugs, because the worlds supply seems to spawn in my room. On average ill find 1-2 every day. Its pretty awesome. Well ill see you all in school and please comment WITH your name it helps let me know how im doing. email is fine as well. eufouria@gmail.com. ok till next itme
