7 days down, only 3 more to go, for the University of Tampa MFA in Creative Writing January 2013 residency. And there have been a plethora of funny, or otherwise noteworthy, quotes I couldn't resist writing/typing down. [I often didn't write down who said what ( Read more... )

I now have a new advisor -- well, technically, I don't have a new one until the form's processed and the new one gets all my materials and such, but it's basically all taken care of. (And I could cross one thing off my list!) I still had [have] the same advisor I was assigned before freshman year, and I never got around to changing it until now; ( Read more... )

Okay, so three good things happened (to me) during Honors Seminar today ( Read more... )

My Theatre professor's kinda strange -- it seems as if she doesn't want to do much grading or much work in general, so she doesn't give us much work or teach us. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's bizarre...I know that she's a visiting professor, so maybe she's not an expert on teaching this stuff, or maybe she just doesn't care.

I heard some amazing news from my Honors Seminar professor in class today: she said that she might (emphasis on the fact that it's a possibility, not a guarantee) allow us to have our midterm exam grade count as our final exam grade, and this would be on an individual -- that is, those students who didn't do well on the midterm would still be able ( Read more... )

Hey, this is the second day (of classes) in row in which I only have one class! Pretty sweet, huh? I'm not trying to brag or anything, but I think that's a bit unusual. You see, I didn't have Creative Writing on Friday, because my professor lives in Nashville, so obviously he needs to go home every once in awhile. And today I don't have my ( Read more... )

Yep, it's true: my P.E. teacher skipped class again. Well, I'm assuming she had a legitimate excuse, but still -- I mean, now that she's skipped twice, we should be able to skip twice, right? Lol j'k, 'cuz I'd never even think about cutting class that that; it's not what I do. Anyway, we waited for her for like 10 minutes, then gave up; and of ( Read more... )

Why would a teacher not show up for class? I mean, it's okay for a teacher to do it, but a student can't? (lol, I'm just being facetious, 'cuz I'd never even think about skipping class hehe). After about 15 minutes of waiting for our P.E. teacher to show up, we just gave up, and a couple of decide to just work out anyways. Why not? Since I was ( Read more... )

Well, my first day of classes is over. And let me just say that it wasn't too bad. First of all, as you already know, I got my exercising out of the way in the morning, so I didn't have to worry about it later in the day. Also, I only had 2 classes today--11:30 and 12:30--so that wasn't too bad. My Honors seminar professor is a beginning ( Read more... )
