(no subject)
i have developed a terrible attendance pattern this semester. despite my awesome start, everything went downhill after i slept through my first spanish test. i am still doing well in spanish, and my seminar; it’s my other two classes that hurt me. the sad thing is, i’m not even sure this semester makes the top three list. my worst three semesters attendance wise:
for those of you who were not aware, i belong to the african american society (a campus organization) and i volunteered to table sit and sign people up for the kwanzaa dinner and answer questions about kwanzaa and aas yesterday afternoon and today 1230-1pm (its still friday to me). i realized last night that i forgot to go and i felt absolutely terrible, then i vowed to definitely go today. i didn’t wake up til 3pm and so i missed it again and felt even more terrible. i told alana i was failing at life. everyone i told, amanda, justin, alana, laughed at me but i was letting people down and that upsets me because i always remember that i let people down(i tend to do it a lot…i still owe ramsey a letter from more than a year ago). well i just checked my email for the first time since wednesday (you are upposed to check it like every four hours here atleast) and i found out the table was held only 4-7pm each day and that i wasn’t required to go. i feel much better and can sleep easy now.
speaking of sleep i need to do that. i have to get up to leave for nyc in 2 hours. i am going to be dead. i hope my plans work out, this is the most up in the air they have been, i am supposed to meet up with my cousin brian and then marianne but have not confirmed times with either of them. i hope i don’t end up alone all day. oh yeah, i also got an email saying we are staying til 9pm this time too instead of the usual 7pm so that’s mad rad!
ps. the new layout is only temporary. within a month this journal will have a complete makeover.
- spring 2002. i skipped sociology more than 30 times, including 9 weeks straight or 27 straight classes; i went 20 minutes late to the final, finished in 20 minutes (third person done) and still got an A.
- fall 2001. i only went to my math class 11 times the entire semester, got an A. i was docked a letter grade in english for excessive absences, leaving me with a B. my public speaking professor didn’t recognize me at the end of the semester and i skipped 1/3 of my psychology classes.
- fall 2002. sean came to mc adding to my list of primary distractions (larry and jeff) we skipped and went to giant for breakfast so much that sean failed a class because of absences. i was almost kicked out of art history, i skipped statistics for a month straight and ¼ of my geology classes.
- fall 2004. i really only missed 2 spanish classes and 1 lab as well as one seminar. it’s the fact that i go to logic only once a week (out of 3) and i went to comp sci so infrequently that the professor didn’t recognize me when i went back that hurt me.
