Bad Teachers

Sometimes I think that students have it tough when trying to apply for uni and such... We study so hard... (well not too hard...) and then it all just depends on if our teachers/lecturers like us or not for us to get a passing grade. On this such occasion... I fail ==" The only subject that I have an elective unit for has to be the one where the lecturer has who-knows-what problem with me which results in no passing grade for the completion of my course. It is believed by many of his "beloved students" that he is biased with only VERY few students that he favours to pass the course. I would not really have such a big problem with this teacher if I knew what he was talking about most of the time.

His contradictory teaching "skills" leaves no student sure of what point he is getting to in his subjects. I have seen good teachers, strict teachers, laissez faire teachers and even the teachers who don't even care whether or not you turn up to class. But this guy... he can't teach, contradicts himself every other class, has improper grammar, expects us to know what he is thinking and makes up errors on our assessment. I mean... if you fail in all of these criteria and more... doesn't that kind of say something about yourself?

Still... I wouldn't really be ranting or raging about this teacher if I only had to glean over this subject and understand what the heck he was going on about most of the time. What really irritates me though is that why would he pointing out new errors on our re-submits of our assessment when he never pointed them out on our first submissions? The point of having a re-submit is to have the errors in the first submission corrected. To me, this is totally illogical. Also, most of what he "teaches" us is basically him moving information from the textbook onto slides. If all he has to do is copy & paste then we would probably have an easier time just purchasing the textbook and studying the subject by ourselves.

I just don't get it.

Late Nights

So what does a student generally do staying up late at night? Well... I know that I would either be crying my eyes out hoping that my assignments would get themselves completed, RAGE typing hoping that my word count is not under ==" or just sitting around passing time by... since as we all know, most students are night owls ^^"

On other news.... tonight as per usual I spend a late night on the net surfing random sites or checking out my facebook account in hopes of some form of slight entertainment. As of which is usually fulfilled for a short amount of time due to my simple minded-ness in enjoying even the most basic of tasks. Following this would probably be an even later night spent doing some leisure reading or playing some untried game on my DS.

So as I am currently sitting here writing down about the random and vague topic of late nights... I am also staring out into space thinking that I should be doing my assignments or getting some sleep, which I will probably do later since as per typical of a student... procrastination is the key to anything and everything =D What does it really matter if we all fail in life? To some it's the end of the world... meh. My ideal for my life right now is to 1) have my lecturer get into an accident so that he is unable to teach and mark assignments for the remainder of the term 2) get a job so that I am not dependant on my parents for the petty cash they hand out to me called "pocket money" and... 3) to get into uni so that my parents don't kick me outta the house. Yes... the simple things in life are not to be taken for granted. Otherwise I would have probably gotten my arse kicked out of the house and disowned a long time ago if I did ==". Some parents just don't care what their kids do. My parents?... they're asian. That says enough.

First Post

First post ^^"

A bit about this... I didn't really have much of a purpose while creating this blog other than to put down the things that are on my mind. I don't think I am really aiming to achieve anything other than putting my thoughts out there for strangers to look at... not really ==" I'm not really even sure that I will generate that much of an interest from other people to look at my blog... but I guess that's just life ^^

This blog, I guess, is just a little glimpse into my mind and the going ons of my everyday life. Just a little something for me to type up, read over and maybe even look at things from another person's perspective at my own leisure. I can sometimes be random in and not follow the same train of thought all the time, but hopefully those who read this blog will understand what I am trying to say. If not then ^^" just don't mind me and my quirky nature
