I’m doing summer school at my university. It’s a six-week period where you can take one or two classes at an accelerated pace. I’m taking only one class, Yes, it is a required English course for undergraduate student. But I think I’m about to drop it again. English Literature. I need it for my gradution, but this particular class is kicking my ass, for a variety of reasons.
The pace is killing me- it’s 4 or 5 times faster than normal. The one that I dropped in spring term was fucking horrible, I was the only foreigner who comes from non-english-speaking country. The worst thing was that, the course had only 5 students, including me. It is said that professor’s class is too difficult and this particular professor grades much more harshly than many other professors who teach the class. Oh, great, no one believed I could pass the course. So I dropped it.
Then, I am taking another English course in summer term. I thought it would be fine, since everybody can pass, why can’t I ? It is said that if you work hard, complete all the assignment, attend every class, try your best in the exams and quizs. Ordinarily, you can pass, with a "B" or "C". Some professor even guarantee you to pass if you follow the syllabus. I am not the lucky dog who can meet that nice professors. I just Wanna Be The Oridianry Case and I just need a "D" to pass it. However, it seems that I’m wrong again.
This time, the professor is a Feminist and I guess she was born in Philippines and I can not even pronounce her name. I guess she is a bit unwelcome as she has only 15 students, and there are only 3 guys among them, including me. Frankly speaking, I don’t fucking care whether she is a Feminist or not, she likes to link her lectures to some other problems which raised by other students, and I can even bear writting the in-class essay.
But when I received my first essay, I am crashed. There is a "F" mark under my essay, without any comments. Dear professor, I take your course not only to get a "F", DO I ? What is it? Tell me What the fuck is it ?! I wrote an E-mail to her asking what the meaning is. Does it mean "Fail" or something else?
