Struggling a Little

So I guess nothing is perfect forever. I was in class yesterday, estudios sociales to be precise, when I stumbled upon a revelation. The way the teachers at my school spend their time is dictating us lines from their notes and having us jot them down in our notebooks word for word. An example, We spent the 80 minutes of social studies just writing down what she said and by the end we had a copy of her notes. Now i get the fact that making us write it for ourselves might let us get some of the information, but i really havent heard of that tactic being used since my parents were in school, inscribing on tablets under stonehenge (sorry ma and pops, I had to (: ). It is especially difficult for me cuz I only get about 75 percent down on my paper and understand significantly less. But its the weekend now. Im gonna try to have a lot of fun and have a fresh start on monday.
