School stuff

[starsthatshine]

It's actually brings me physical pain to even consider deleting a John Simm icon. I'm such a tool.

I got my school books today and then I didn't do much else. I should clean my room *headdesk* But I really don't feel like it. I can't wait to start with my classes. On Monday I start aprox. 13.15 (1.15 PM) with English and my last lesson ends at well... 15.35, which is Spanish. Monday, oh sweet life. I have to have a talk with Shannon about English 'cause I'll do a Bloody Mary on someone if I don't get to learn anything new or at least do something that resembles a challenge. We'll see :D

Your Mondays sound nice, but I'm sorry to hear you're feeling unchallenged when it comes to English!

Mondays are from now on, LOVE :D Every day that has English on the schedule is love :D

It's extremely frustrating. And especially since I'm not allowed to advance because of the "class dynamic". It's like I'm sitting with all this knowledge, jumping in the same step, awaiting for the whistle to blow so I can run my race, but the whistle never blows and I'm stuck, hearing the same bloody nonsense all the time. I love English as a language but if Shannon (my teacher) doesn't get me some sort of challenge, I will quite possibly go mental.

The only things I could suggest is asking for extra materials or read a bunch of books (alternatively: suggest that the class read a book together over a period of time and then discuss it, that is if your class hasn't done this yet).

Then again I'm not sure if you guys are doing comprehension (which is utter suckage.) or a "This is what I did this weekend..."-type of thing, so I don't exactly know what level your class is at.

If all else fails: read, read, read. :D

I already have an additional course book and I'm doing two English courses at the same time. The reading bit has been done but it's not exactly a challenge. It's easy and I don't learn anything by it.

We do a bit of comprehension but that's easy to. And the problem is that I've read all the books I can think about. I've read the classics (Brontë, Austen etc.), I've read other books, I read all the time. My teacher said something about me getting a Cambridge certificate but nothing's conclusive yet.

I'm getting bored and it feels like I'm not learning a thing any more.

I think you can sit the Cambrige test-thingy for the certificate after Engelska C but I wouldn't take my word on that.

Honestly, have your teacher reccomend an author or go to the library, start with "A" and work your way through.

He said that I could take it any time I wanted to. But he would recommend after English C. But after I went on a break, he said something about me getting the certificate this year. I dunno. He and I need to have a word. Or eight.

I already got Austen down, don't I? ;) We'll see. I'll always read English books but the problem is that it's massively interfering with my Swedish. Not just the you know... regular stuff that anyone can have, but like... really basic stuff like sentence structures etc. My Swedish teacher is giving me the evil eye.

man, sometimes I wish I had Shannon's phone number so I could call him at home and terrorise him then because the wait is making me frustrated :P

LOL. I can promise you that the first lesson will be worthless!
