it's all greek to me

[bedlamsbard]

If I have to take this stupid fucking Greek quiz one more time, I am going to light it on fire.

(Look, prof, if you have to give what's essentially the same quiz three times in one week, you may have a problem there, I'm just saying.)

TOO MANY WORDS. THEY ALL SOUND THE SAME. ARGH ARGH ARGH.

Oh, sheesh, not AGAIN? Pedagogy fail.

She's just like, "I don't know what I can do to make you understand this! I'll give you another quiz!"

(Okay, granted, it's straight memorization, but -- it's a lot of memorization (the six principle parts of a pretty large chunk of the verbs we've learned so far), and the fourth, fifth, and sixth principle parts are all out of context because we haven't learned to use them yet. So it's somewhere around ninety words, some of which sound or look the same (ugh, I have switched epsilon and eta so many times, and the same with chi and ksi), and some of which have multiple parts and at this point I just want to LIGHT MY FREAKING TEXTBOOK ON FIRE because I keep having to study for this stupid quiz instead of studying for my other classes, working on my thesis, or doing my grad school apps. I mean, granted, my fault, BUT FIRE.)

My feelings. They are quite strong.
