I plan on actually working hard this year and I have a feeling my time will be similarly consumed. :( (If I can focus.)

We're learning a lot, but one thing I've learned is that the teacher cares less about how smart you are than about how excited you are. All three of the girls in my group for our podcast are very quiet, so while we had all the information in our presentation, and everything used perfect grammar and spelling, we were reprimanded for not being loud enough, and the rest of our project was literally completely ignored. Then you have the group of girls who had the worst grammar, spelling, and capitalization mistakes I've seen since the sixth grade, and they won 10 points on their test because they were peppy when they spoke. >.< I am not going to enjoy this class if we get graded based on how loud and ( ... )
