Whether college, university, or high school, I've always had an issue with female teachers. I don't know if it's because we're prone to PMS-ing, but I've always hated having them so whenever I schedule my classes, I make sure that none of the instructors are female.
 
I always tried too hard in school and would get counted off because I would leave out something in my essays/reports that I couldn't find and in its place I would put a whole extra page of information on other thing pertaining to the topic and then get a C on the paper even after I explained everything. And other times teachers just counted off points because I didn't stick to their exact layout of how it's supposed to be. My freshman year of high school I had to do a report on MRSA and I switched the infection rate and causes paragraphs with each other in my report because it flowed better and the teacher failed me because I didn't have it exactly how she wanted it. After that I stopped really trying in school because my 4.7 gpa was squandered due to a teacher being a complete ♥♥♥♥♥ because I chose band over football when I lost use of my ankle and football put too much pressure on it and I would come home not able to walk at all. So then I decided I would just sleep through every class and do the bare minimum and sometimes pump out an A or two a semester just to piss my teachers off by showing them I am capable I just choose not to be.

I love school.
 
I'm always a little suspicious of the "I was perfect and unique and teachers were mean for no reason!" stories. Probably because I've heard enough of that from classmates, who I know for a fact were far from perfect and were failing because of completely unrelated things to their 2cool4u way of doing things.

I can sympathize with teachers wanting things a certain way though; an English professor last semester had me take out every instance of the word 'this' in my paper because he was just against the word. It really messed up my writing style, because I usually will spend some time describing something and then follow up with "This shows _____". I did it though, because professors want what they want and sometimes it ends up well. I get cranky when my design professors criticizes my work too hard and says things I disagree with but most of the time my designs are better for it.
 
In 8th grade I really hated my English teacher but we bonded a little at the end of the year because we were supposed to write an essay on something we like and why other people should like it or something silly like that, and I chose Journey. The catch to it was that we couldn't use the word "you". Now I'm a smartass and have been my whole life so I wrote out this essay and she came over and looked it over and pointed out all of my "you's" to which I responded to by changing all of them to "thou". I got an A simply because she liked me and it was funny at the time.

I remember seeing something online where the question was:

"Give an example of a risk."
A: "This."

Marked as correct!

Or even better, this person who drew a picture of the Eye of Sauron on his test xD

Sounds hectic. I always get nervous when it draws close to finals. I shut myself in and try my best not to get distracted and fail horribly at it
 
I've been terrible - I'm up at almost 3AM trying to finish this website before it's due tomorrow. It's such slow going that I'm about ready to die. At least this is the penultimate big thing I have to do for the semester and the grade I get on it doesn't matter.

Maybe being on PC isn't the best choice? :S How much do you have left?

I mean, making a two second post is not going to make or break my project. I'd say I'm about halfway done but I'm going to go to sleep and do the rest tomorrow before we show it to the class and hopefully get basically everything done. It'll be a pared down version of what I had imagined, but that's what my teacher gets for giving us a week to do it when I have 3 papers due the same week.

O'aka, you remind me so much of me. I had teachers like that all the time when I was younger (and now that I don't go to a "superior" school I have them here), and it just boggles my mind what beef they could possibly have with me. What did I do, make you feel worthless for achieving farther than you ever did in high school? :<

At this point I really don't care as a diploma's a diploma and an Associate's is an Associates, and that's all that matters. My GPA is irrelevant to me, really.
 
If only the world worked that way ;; I feel like I'm taking 7 courses rather than the normal 5 that people have because apparently the class I'm sitting in right now is being crammed into 7 weeks instead of 14...Why?!

Registration Wars start today for classes. Ought to be fun :I

Which term though? Summer or fall?

I've had professors tell me that, from what they've seen, people at my college tend to register towards the end of a registration period and not the beginning of one. Right now both Summer 2014 and Fall 2014 registrations are open at my college.
 
I'm not really finishing school at a normal place but I guess I am between good amd bad D:
 
Ha, project done! It's not nearly as nice as it could be, but I'm not bothered. Just gotta get through it.
 
I'm still waiting for the day I register for summer classes. After this semester I only need three more classes to graduate and I want to take those three in the summer and not waste another semester and wait till December >:(
