after class last night, i actually felt semi-remotely confident that i would be able to struggle and keep up with the more advanced language students. i even felt fairly assured that the homework would be a relative breeze. HA!
i have now been working on a SINGLE worksheet of what is supposed to be review for over 2.5 hours. there are no instructions, just "follow the pattern"- patterns we briefly went over in class. but now, in the real world i am staring at the fucking sheet of paper confused as all get out as to what EXACTLY i am supposed to do!!!
i know i should just walk away, take a break, *breathe**breathe**BREATHE* but i feel so defeated just giving up on it, because i know i won't understand it any later on. and it's due thursday! THIS thursday. i hate feeling so incompetent...and even though i know the teacher knows i'm "behind", i don't know how to get the help i need!
supposedly there are language tutors on campus but campus is an hour/ hour and a half transit ride away....and where do i go? (see yesterdays entry about lack of campus info available)
F%&*!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nooooooooooooo. It's aunt p. again. SO. I have discovered that when Gabe gets an assignment he doesn't understand we look it up on the 'internets' and usually find the actual teacher's manual complete with instructions. Of course it's not graduate level work, but I'm curious just the same. AND you WILL probably find people with whom you can collaborate over the phone or email. Will you not? Are there any interesting looking, prospective people in your classes? now for the "when i was..." I absolutely HATED going to my classes where I didn't know anyone the entire time. International School Law. My teacher was a white, pasty looking lawyer who wore beige all the time. That's all I remember. and now for my "little known fact of little known importance..." Did you know the the Latin meaning of matriculate is 'breeding female'?
