Arabic, Not Quite As Fun Anymore
Sep. 30th, 2008 07:55 pmTomorrow's the first quiz for the class. Well, the second actually, but the one we took before "didn't count," so this is the first quiz. That means that I should be spending tonight, the night of my first anniversary, studying for the quiz tomorrow.
In actuality, I've got 10 pages to read, 8 writing practices to be done on separate pieces of paper to be handed in tomorrow, and 5 drills that each have to be done on their own paper to be handed in at the beginning of class tomorrow.
10 pages to read, 13 separate parts of homework.
Of course, I could get it done sooner if I just stopped bitching about it and got to it, but this is something that deserves a good bitching about.
I have no idea how the regular students are able to deal with this. I just spent over an hour writing all the forms of "miim." I already knew them! I wouldn't have wasted my time, but if I miss even one part of the homework assignment to be handed in, none of them count and I get a zero.
I wish I knew some Arabic swear words. I'd use them about now.
