Where am I going?

Alrighty. I've posted almost the same blog on my dA journal. But there's a twist. I'm going all out and spilling my frustrations here.

So it's called venting.

Big whu-huh-huh.

First off, good morning teacher...*enters room and blah, discusses stuff, asks a question to students...waits for answer... GETS ANGRY*
Filipino Class.
So utterly dramatic it can all get.

We go to the library every Filipino class to watch some of the book Noli Me Tangere in a TV adaptation. The deep Filipino vocabulary and the intense literary value makes it hard for us, the simpletons of this universe, to read the whole novel. (Besides, it was in Spanish before. And translating it to a different language makes everything a lot harder... not to mention the translator was boring. The English translation was actually entertaining.)

She asked us a question regarding one of the chapters. And plenty tried and guessed. Until she got disappointed and frustrated and angry, because no one got it right. So she said, "I've tried doing everything to help you understand the novel. I've even let you watch a movie adaptation! And you still don't read the novel? Just for that, tomorrow, don't come into the library. We'll be discussing the book orally upstairs in your classroom. Also, answer all the corresponding activities in your text book for chapters forty-two to sixty-three. All this will be submitted on Monday."
(And, fact of the matter is, chapter sixty-three is the last chapter.)
So she gave us a consideration. Anyone who comes up to her during the week will be asked to narrate and summarize a randomly chosen chapter of the book. Anyone who manages to do so correctly and completely will be exempted from the monstrous piece of anomaly she calls homework.

And that would be it.

NEXT.

Algebra Class

Setting: classroom, packed with students, the period exactly before lunch
Characters: The teacher and students
Plot:
Teacher comes in to the classroom, not bothering with the noisy students all over the place, not bothering to greet them or shush them half awake. She takes a piece of paper, something printed on it...seems important... Hmmmm, everyone stares.
She posts it on the board.
And announces:
There shall be a quiz bee for Chemistry and Advanced Algebra this Feb. 26. Everyone must join. You are all grouped randomly (read: later on, she said that she had fun that weekend with putting our names in a box and pulling out random names for the groupings) and the groupings are posted here. The quiz bee is graded as a normal quiz. And the group who wins will be given plus points in their exam. This quiz bee will serve as a review for the finals. So take it seriously. Also, the quiz bee will be held down at the main hall.

And me: *headdesk* *facepalm* *OTL* *orz* ~!NOOO.

Seeing the groupings, I was with:
Ian
William
Hannah
Maxine

Mind you, Maxine is the lowest ranked student of the batch. William had summer classes. Ian is...well he failed Chemistry last quarter. Hannah's a good person, and I love her.

And me? Well I'm doomed.

I posted on the board that I'm willing to have a study group with them on Feb. 20, despite the fact that I'm studying for the finals. And I'll be glad to help them get those plus points.

And the reactions?

Ian: Eh, nakakatamad. ("I feel lazy")
Maxine: Bawal! Ayoko. ("Not allowed! And I don't want to.")
Hannah: Hah? Ako? Uhm, okay. (Huh? Me? Uhm, okay.)
William: Sige! Kelan? Punta ko sa inyo? Gawa tayo ng flan! (Sure! When? I'll come to your place? Let's make flan!)

Me: ...
...
...
William, mag-aaral tayo. Hindi gagawa ng flan. (We'll be studying, not making flan.)

Although I deeply thank him for his enthusiasm. Just that I'm stuck with the group I'm most challenged to be with. It's like first year IP all over again.

ANYWAY.

CLE:
All requirements to be passed on the twenty-eighth... oh wait.... the sixteenth. That's next Monday.
Everyone = HAAAHH?!?!

P.E.:
Practical Exam on the last week of feb.

And when are the finals, you ask?
*coughmarchtwountilfourcough*

Where am I going?
I'm going to study.

Blah. Hooray for nonsense questions and answers.
