the_other_sandy: Yomiko Readman hugging a book (Agt. Paper Chibi)
I'm in the middle of a truly hellish string of exams in my Spanish class. A week ago Monday, we had a standardized reading comprehension test (which still counts toward our grade) and a pop quiz on the chapter. Last Wednesday, we had the chapter test. Last Monday, we had a standardized listening comprehension test. Tonight was the only night free of exams, so the instructor attempted to cram almost an entire chapter into the lecture. Next Monday, we have a writing proficiency exam (we don't know the topic, or even what tense it'll be in) and probably a pop quiz on the chapter. Next Wednesday is the chapter test. The class period after that is the final.

And tonight, one of the students who regularly whines about how she can't possibly be expected to do the homework or know the material threw an actual tantrum because she couldn't understand the lecture (everything the instructor was saying was in our assigned textbook reading for the class session, in English, with charts, which she would've known had she done the homework). She stomped out in a huff in the middle of class and didn't come back. There really was an actual huff, and stomping, and she slammed the door on her way out. ::boggles::

I can't believe there are only two weeks left in the semester.
