The class is a student-leaded/student-led class, which means the students on the executive senior board are 'in charge', so I can't really tell them, because (*sighs*) they're pretty much the same as the majority of people on my team.

The teachers 'in charge' just make sure we're doing things, and to be honest? They're not very understanding of the situation or the students, because they're only the class sponsors and pretty much are just there because they agreed to sponsor, not to teach. They presume that we know what to do and sometimes they make suggestions that aren't really helpful (e.g. another group I'm in had to change the game we're directing three times because the teachers said yes the first time, and then said no after we'd done a lot of work).

There was this thing with the float meetings that'll probably drag my grade down. We're supposed to get 25 hours of meetings, but my team was in charge of telling us about that, and I didn't get notice because they got my phone number wrong. So there I was, doing nothing for 3 months, until at some point I figured out something was wrong and finally asked around, and then figured out they typed down the number wrong, as opposed to the number I wrote down (which I see less of an innocent mistake and more of why-didn't-you-double-check-the-numbers-for-a-class?) Turns out they were texting some random person instead of me and somehow "I" never responded

So I've been going to all the meetings since then (2 5-hour ones) and making all the fluffies I can for the float to try in vain to make up the 24 or 25 hours, but because today's was the last meeting, I only have 10 hours down from meetings. I did spend like hecking 14 hours making fluffies, but when I brought all of my work today (like 200 fluffies? They're easy to make but so time-consuming, especially if you do small section folds like I do, which takes even more time) (also, they told me they'd make fluffies too at the last meeting. Guess what? No one on the team did, and because of that, there weren't enough. Guess whom got blamed? Me of course) they didn't believe I did all that work.

Kind of had the urge to just take all the fluffies and march home at that point, but I didn't -_-

So I'm probably going to get a 10 out of 24 for participating despite all the hours I did on those fluffies, woo

I also talked to the "lead" teachers of leadership. I explained how because of the phone number issue (for 3 months) and lack of meetings (2), I couldn't really get all the 24 hours even if I worked myself to all the remaining time I had left, which is kind of impossible, considering I do have a life outside of leadership and homework.

Anyways, after a few minutes of trying to thoroughly explain the situation as above, one of the teachers didn't even bother to respond at all and the other was like: "Just do what you're already doing!"

Me: But if I don't have enough time left to get the hours, will you exempt a few hours as I've explained the reasons for?

The teacher: Just do what you're already doing!!!

Inner me screaming: Did you NOT hear me saying that we have limited meeting times left and I can't possibly make 60,000 fluffies, because it wouldn't count anyways, due to that stupid policy that unneeded fluffies won't even count towards hours for whatever foolish reason?????

So yeah! I may be a bit demanding, but I do have a bit of reason.

Sorry for the long rant lol, I needed to get it all out from this past hectic month.

And long story short, I hate teams that drag you down.
