Not-bad day was really not that bad - maybe even good~
Ah, Thursday.
The day I have my once-a-week Anthropogenic Biomes class - for which I spent my entire last weekend, cranking out a 5,000 rough draft paper on biodiversity hotspots. I was really dreading the class, actually, as my rough draft was incomplete, my references were a mess, and to top it off, it was so late when I emailed it to him that I had forgotten to even alphabetize them in my works cited. Of course, I didn't even realize until way after the fact. @_@
Anyway, our professor sent our rough drafts to other people who did rough drafts, and we were supposed to peer review them. Today we were supposed to meet with the people who read ours to get feedback, and I was super nervous about it. Especially since he was going around giving his own personal feedback on our drafts, too.
I was especially feeling the heat when I had spoken with one of my peer reviewers who admitted he had been a bit harsh with mine. I generally don't take criticism well, so I was kind of bracing for impact, but turns out he was actually pretty good at doing the whole "constructive criticism" thing, so it ended up being okay.
Also, as it turns out, my professor's review of my work was even nicer than his. XD The problems he had with my paper all seemed to be easily fixed, and he even helped me create a new data set to use in the final product. :D Annnnnnnd he extended the deadline of the very-definitely-final draft by a week!
...w-well, this was to give us more time to focus on the posters we're making to present about our project, which is still due next week. BUT STILL.
Awesome cool prof is still awesome and cool.
So yes, today ended up being pretty awesome. And now it's the weekend. :D I think since I basically didn't have a weekend last time, I'll actually take some time and enjoy this one ♥ ♥
