This week marks 14 out of 16 for my semester at college. 3 weeks to go. Should be easy coasting now, right? Well...not...exactly. Lets chat about this for a moment as I go through a class.

Fundamentals of Music is a class I chose as one of my electives weren't available this semester. Or rather, about all of the ones I had picked out weren't available this semester. FoM hasn't been a smooth class on my end due to the fact of how fast my teacher tends to go by content without letting someone get caught up on the material. Not to mention explaining things a little sloppily to where I don't immediately understand it. As for homework, it has been harsh here and there with how inconsistent it comes and how much we need to do. Even if we are given sufficient time, stuff on my end gets in the way of it, which I will explain later. And for the Final, my teacher said because we're behind, that Finals may be pushed to December 6th, a Monday and the day after I get back from a weekend of me being out of town for a family event. Not to mention that this is pushing things past the number of weeks this course said it would take. Studying the weekend leading up to Finals will be difficult should we remain behind the way we are. And personally, I don't wish for it to be this way.

But thankfully, I don't have to do the same with Physical Science. The homework from McGraw Hill Connect is still ass to me and I have gotten to the point of hardly finishing my Pre-Lectures despite so few of them being left. In fact, next week is when the final one is due. I am glad to be nearly done with the homework, but I have to really focus more on the exams given how harsh they have been for my grades. 47.5% is what I got from my recent test and that's due to a general lack of material to often study from amongst other reasons I will explain later. Otherwise, there is little to say wrong with this class.

HOWEVER, I can NOT say the same with Social Psychology still being an utter pain to me and how much time I am expected to have. All throughout this semester, my teacher has been inconsistent with assignments, getting back to us on subjects, what she expects us to do, and how she asks us to do things. And this isn't mentioning how she disregards the amount of time a student has to complete things. For example, each of our roughly weekly tests has us needing to make 2 hours of our time out of the week to finish it. We can't pause or exit it as that would mean it gets automatically entered. You HAVE to do it all the way through with no break. And recently, this and last week's "quizzes"(As she likes to call it), we're forced to spend an extra half an hour on top of the 2 hour time limit with an extra 25 questions added to the usual 50 we do. Given how we can use the book for these tests, I take my time, but now I can't as much with the question count being spiked by 50% without an extra hour given. To add on, this was just for 2 chapters last week and this week is 3, so there is no telling if the question count got spiked. She didn't state at all in the semester that she would group up chapters in our quizzes or change the point total for each. She once had our Chapter 3 "quiz" be worth 500 points and she dropped that from our grade, not fixing the point count at all. Hell, she still hasn't graded our discussion posts past week 1, marking each week on my end as "Overdue". She hasn't been taking the time to give us what our current grades are nor really communicating to us. And it shows more in our Final PRESENTATION. She gave us all the details today, but the amount of research we need to do is a lot more compared to any other assignment. And you know what sucks? She suggests software to use for the presentation, but says that there will be no "in-class time to teach us how it works". This is ALL ONLINE and she hasn't done a proper online meeting with us except for live recordings that we can watch later. And she hasn't taught us anything herself at all. She just gives us assignments each week and expects us to instantly understand ALL of the material in a chapter. My teacher has no respect for her students nor for their time and it's the most frustrating thing I've found all this semester.

Now we come to the end of this rant of a sort with each of my classes. I am honestly burnt out from this semester wanting me to do more than any other semester I've taken. I've been misinformed numerous time throughout the semester, paid more than what I needed to on various things, not properly instructed on what to do, and been tasked with too much to do each week that I'm not used to anymore. I still work at a minimum wage usher position in a movie theater 2 days a week, 12 hours a week, with only a 5th over $200 per paycheck that I get every 2 weeks. And those 2 days are in between college days as to keep a streak going so I can rest during some weekends, but clearly this semester has been pushing me around more than need be. On top of all that, my mental health isn't so stable. If you've noticed me acting inconsistent in places, that is due to the semester drastically impacting how I would normally go about things. That and other elements such as certain games making me unhappy, life events such as my Grandpa Frank dying, and others I probably don't recall off the top of my head. I am at a point where I want to be done with college and done with my job. There is a lot I want to go on my life with and do rather than being tied down to these things. And...to be honest, this is where I need to ask for help. My SP Final Presentation is going to be harsh on me, so I need as much help as I can get to finish this soon as possible and turn it in. If any of my mutuals or those that know Social Psychology well, PLEASE let me know. I don't want to deal with this much longer and practically...I'm just begging to be out of college. So again, if you are able to, I wish to ask you for your help. And I thank anybody that can.
