My class is working my last nerve!

It should be quite obvious to anyone who knows me that I am a bit of an over achiever. Okay, so maybe a little more than a bit, but that's not the point here. My integration class is beyond slow, especially compared to my last German class. I have been working ahead in my workbooks so as not to become too bored; however, I have decided to no longer do that. Maybe 2% of the class actually does the homework assignments, which means we spend a good portion of class wasting time so those who didn't do their homework can do it in class. Then when we do the activities in the workbook, since I already have them done I don't have anything to do. So, between waiting for the other students to do their homework and then to do whatever is requested of us to do from the workbook, I end up spending over half of the class time just sitting there. I had thought that I would learn more by working ahead and spending more time focus on German, but that doesn't seem to be the case. What I do know is I have 9 more days of classes before I have one full month off; is it bad that that is what I am focused on right now?
