Hey, my non-existent readers, this summer I plan to blog daily about this new SAT Cram Course I will be partaking. This will be a interesting way to practice my writing, as well as throw in some vocabulary to make me sound prestigious, when in actuality I will sound pretentious and perhaps deranged. Wish me luck as I endure the hellish journey in which I will have to complete over a time span of 6 weeks. I pray that I won't become a lifeless cadaver afterwards.
As first impressions go, Jack Sung, the "director"(?) or "founder" of this Elite program, has failed. When I first met him, he was: short, seemed to have OCD and quite downright depressing. After a few minutes talking with him, I was more or less correct. He was short, most definitely OCD and very depressing. The way he described the sheer amount of work I would be partaking, was so depressing, it took me all of my willpower to not stab myself with the pens on his desk. An example week, he explained, had the following:
Monday: SAT Test - Lesson with Writing Teacher
Tuesday: Lesson with Writing/Reading/Math Teacher (Quiz?)
Wednesday: Same
Thursday: Same
Friday: Same (Vocabulary Quiz?)
Also, he explained that each day I would have to memorize 50 SAT words, which would later be tested at the end of the week. (250 words a week) Each week would be the same. No breaks, no fun, no actual "summer" life. 4.5 hours of class a day, and 3 hours of homework every night. Goes to show you that this summer will be quite depressing and downright suicidal. It seems that the only people that are filled with zeal over this class, are my parents and the TAS parents that recommended this program.
Notice: Due to the nature of this blog-post and subsequent posts, anyone who has gone, or is affiliated to the Elite Educational Institute, please do not take these words by heart, and only regard them as one's thoughts of the matter.
