Now I remember why I never wanted to continue in school in the first place. My bullshit american history teacher has provided us with no textbook. Instead he is doing everything by lecture and we will be tested on that, which is fine, except we are also going to be tested on the full text of 2 books, which are historical in nature but are certainly not textbooks. This is only a 6 week course and I have to study not only all of his lecture notes, but also the entirety of both these "novels" which is over 450 pages. Fuck that dude. It's only 6 weeks. If I wanted to speed read full books I would have taken an english class.
The books are:
Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs
Everyday Life in Early American by David Freeman Hawke
He also continually mentions that we should go to answers.com for any mor detailed history questions we might have, including word definitions. I have nothing wrong with using the internet for research, and I'm sure all the questions could be answered there, however as a teacher I can't believe he wouldn't give us all the same concrete resource, like a fucking textbook, like a fucking normal class.
My other classes are gonna be ok. Trig is good, and will be easy. I know a lot of it already, or just need refreshing. Philosophy looks to be a pretty laid back course, so I think it should be no problem. Plus it's interesting. I fucking hate history.
