Irony:

When the meaning of the words is the opposite of the reality, for dramatic effect.

After a horrible week where I am seriously thinking of quitting this school, it may not matter--I don't have the classes needed for a California credential.

That's ironic.

Classes that you need to have taken, or classes you need to teach?

act requires that teachers be exemplar in their subjects, and thus have taken complete college courses in them. As an engineering major, I took 1 year of chemistry; the act requires 3 years.

I can test out of the requirements (test is in 4 hours from now) and hope to pass the test, but my study time has been eaten by the exhaustion of trying to teach the ghettobrats and get the classroom up and running with no resources.
