0033. grown children

I'm taking Spanish this semester even though I already speak the language. I needed a foreign language credit and for some reason the college didn't take my military Spanish credits. Whatever, it's an easy class and I figured I'd sleep through it. I was partially right. There are several people in the class that are beginners. They've never taken a Spanish class before and they're kind of lost. I don't blame them too much because the teacher moves a little fast. But I want to slap the shit out of all of them when they start bitching and whining and blaming everything on the teacher when I know for a fact that none of the little fuckers are studying outside of class. How the fuck are you going to learn if you don't study? And how are you going to blame it on the teacher when she gives you options. She bends over backwards to allow these adults children more than enough time to turn in their homework. Hell, I was sick for the past 2 weeks and couldn't finish a project. I asked her politely if I could turn in my questions and answers (in Spanish, covering the verbs in the chapter we tested on) today. She said yes. I assumed it was because I'm such a good student, but today she said she was taking work from everyone that had something missing from their portfolio. She's said more than once that no one has ever failed her class. I have a feeling that my "partner" (who is no longer my partner - I asked to change with someone else since I can’t have someone who is so freaking negative all the time pulling me down and fucking with my grades) is probably going to fail since he refuses to do any work outside of class, to include the projects that are due every test day. I’m so tired of being surrounded by these children! It must be nice to go to school on Mommy and Daddy’s money and not have to worry about things like GPAs and having to finish school to get a good job. 2 more years. Just 2 more years and I’ll be done with school. Please God let it go by quickly.
