Chinese is Hard and My Teacher is Insane

I have a presentation due in Chinese this Friday on Chicago.
I've gotten to the point with our new teacher that I just do what she says and don't think about how crazy it is or the lack of warning. However, now that it's getting closer to Friday and I'm seriously thinking about what's required for this assignment I'm a little miffed.
It's not the fact I have a lot of other work. It's not the fact she changed what the assignment actually was on Monday after she had told us the assignment the Friday before. No, I'm upset because I have to memorize everything I have to say. Which is about six answers on the first slide and two on each of the 5 slides following. So I have at least eight sentences I have to have memorized before class on Friday. Eight sentences may not sound like much but I basically failed the vocabulary quiz this week and I actually studied for that.
Basically I'm screwed is what I'm saying.
On another note I turned in my application to study abroad in Beijing today!
On another note, in order to afford the $50 late fee and turn it in today I had to basically forfeit finishing a paper  in a class I've already missed a paper for.
Time management. I'm on it. Hopefully it's not too late for that class.
