This is the worst day ever.

Ok. So today wasn't a good day. I'm failing English so far. I guess it's not that I'm lazy anymore. I must be stupid if I think I understand the Macbeth story but still fail the test. And I was letting little things get to me. It's been a while or never since I felt bad that a certain person didn't say anything to me. Perhaps he felt the same way. I think so because of this whole thing that I don't want to explain. Well anyways. I went to English and because of some teacher prblems already I turned in an assignment(in a box), but as I went back to look for it, it wasnt there. I began to get really angry. Most likely someone in the class stole my work that I hope was wrong and hope they fail with me since they want to copy my work. Now that was a lot of work to do over. Now lets see how lazy I am now. That's what dumbass kids do. All at the same time I wanted to cry and kill someone.

Shakespeare is a dick. His language is outdated, and confusing. I never understood Shakespeare, but that is because he uses dumb words that aren't worth looking up ::.

I had a bad english teacher. My grades are usually A's and a few B's, but I had a C in her class. I did bad on my poorly written final (there were grammatical errors all over the place) and that brought my grade down to a 69.8! I'm not exaggerating, it was really a 69.8. I came after school to talk to her about giving me a C (she said "I'll think about it"), and she later emailed me and said "I do not round grades; thus, your grade is a D+. ". However, when I got my report card, it was not a D+...IT WAS A D!!!

How cruel is that?

Shakespeare isn't dumb if you have a good teacher to help you understand it. The nice thing about his plays is that there are tons of books and websites to help translate his plays to accommodate a modern audience. There's also a ton of movie adaptations of his work that you could get your hands on if you didn't exactly understand the plot.

I can understand why you'd be pissed off at your work being misplaced. It happened to me once in a Pre-Calculus class and it really frustrated me because that was the class with which I was having the most trouble.

Some English teachers make too much of a big deal of grammatical errors, especially when it doesn't really take away from an essay. I was lucky that most of my English teachers were more interested in the content and the organization rather than the grammatical stuff. It takes practice really. The more essays you write, the better you'll get at it. Every teacher reacts to essay writing differently, though I think in college, they prefer that you write in a way that's comfortable for you while being elevated and intriguing for them.
