Thou shalt not...

...swear?!

But that's what I wanted to do. A word popped uninvited to my mind last night, a word that so accurately described my reaction to that's day's quiz.

What word?

Hold on! You need to know two things first.

One: I worked my butt off understanding that chapter's verb tense, the LAST one before the big MID-TERM exam next week. I spent literally TEN HOURS studying. I took time to memorize all the irregular verbs' form in this tense. Go ahead, quiz me! I reviewed all vocab words. ALL of them. AND I could still hear the words of the prof at the end of the class: "The quiz is ON LY on chapter 25."

So imagine my horror finding 22 POINTS of this quiz reviewing ALL verb tenses!! There's just no time in a day to absorb the new topic AND review the old. You do the review BEFORE a major test. 22 points is 30% of this quiz! (75% is needed to pass)! AND I could hear the prof's last words before leaving class: "The quiz is JUST on chapter 25."

Two: the word that immediately came to mind is one I never, EVER use. I tried expunging it from Rachel's and Becca's vocab when it first became popular during their high school years. Unsuccessfully.

BUT IT FIT SO PERFECTLY!

I can't quite get it past my lips even now.

Maybe if I type it...

...just to get my frustration out...

...in very small font...

crap!
