(no subject)
If you don't want to read about my quarter--then skip this entry...
So...pretty much non-stop working on my homework for these past few weeks. I have to do well this quarter or I will think that I came back for nothing. I did not drop out, go to cosmetology school, drop out of that to come back here to fail. Not that I'm anywhere near "failing" but more than one B will feel like a failure to me. What is my obsession with getting A's?
My women's writers class is rough. I can't seem to write what the woman wants to read. Maybe b/c I don't mention vaginal bleeding enough or something. Or maybe because I'm not all about pitying women for their places in life. Not that I don't think it's awful when women are disadvantaged just because they're women--but come on--shit happens to everyone. I don't know--I keep trying and re-writing things, and I every time I go to her for help, she finds really "significant" things wrong with the paper in her opinion--even though I have revised the papers using and following her advice to the best of my abilities. I want a teacher to criticize me so that I'll get better, but come on I'm an undergraduate student just trying to get through this required class.
My poetry analysis class is going alright. I'm not all that awesome at his papers either, but at least I know what I'm talking about and can agree with the arguments I try to make in the essays.
My 19th century American Texts class is actually going really well even though most of the things we discuss in that class are incredibly dull, I seem to actually grasp the things we are covering.
My biology class is boring but almost over. I have to take it....so that about says it all.
My yoga class is one of the best classes I have taken at wright state. Being in that class makes me feel really good and I'm actually starting to learn how to stop stressing out about every little thing. Not school yet, of course--but I must take small steps.
Jobs are okay--I like the one at Laser Web still, but the base job is starting to get to me. I feel trapped though because of the good pay and flexible schedule.
I'm pretty excited for this quarter to be over so that next quarter can start and I can begin to learn German for the move upon graduation.
I cannot fail at this because I really want to go away from everything if even for just a little while. Things may not be better in Europe, but at least it will be a change of pace, something new. Plus, I'm excited to explore the TESOL world...hopefully I will succeed.
