Hey, I was a transfer student myself (community college FTW!!) so yeah, I totally get the whole graduating after like 2 years at a place, which is what I did at San Jose State (actually, I was there for 5 semesters) I think more what it is is the fact that you're about the same age as my youngest brother, which translates as omg so young in my brain. =D (deep down, on some level, that boy is still 10 or 12 years old in my head)
Wow, dude, that's totally not a good way to teach. If you're gonna talk theories and stuff, you better know the theories you're talking about, and if your students know more about stuff than you, that's saying something. And leaving all the grading to the last minute is a dick move. =\
Yeah, my final papers were a pain because I'd put them off til the last little bit and I was putting together a combined total of roughly 10000 words across 5 papers and roughly 8 days (my seminar paper was 3600, took me 18 hours the night/morning before it was due including a good chunk of the research and was on whether or not the US should join the International Criminal Court...I wanted to shoot myself for picking that topic to be honest)
Yay! Plans for visiting is a great idea =D it helps to have a plan in place for things like that.
Taking a year off is a great idea. I recommend just taking any job you can find, to be honest. Reception work doesn't suck and pays not too badly. And if it wouldn't suck horribly, and both you and your parents are amenable, I'd recommend moving back home for the year, because rent is outrageous (well, here it is, but I don't know about your area, I just pretend rent sucks everywhere because it makes me feel better!) and then you can save up more money for school. =D
