Ah so its a lovely Tuesday! I woke up late so I am not going to work until probably 11:30 or so. I'll be makin phone calls and takin pictures, the usual.
You wouldn't believe this, okay maybe YOU would... haha but I didn't believe this. Now I am obviously the queen of worry, especially when it comes to school. I hate the thought of a teacher thinking that I am not smart. I'm not that bright, but when it comes to writing a paper I do tend to try hard. I do my best as they say.
This quarter, however, I have bombed. I turned in a paper to my 201 class and I barely even proof read it. I mean it was probably the worst work I've turned in since I started college, albeit community college.
Needless to say, I was dissapointed in myself, and I wouldn't have given myself anything better than a c-.
So last night the prof gave us back our papers, right at the end of the class. I opened mine up with a cynical hand, and WHAMO! I got...
drum roll....
an A-.
What what?!?! was my exclimation. I should've told him right there that I didn't deserve this grade, which was true, but instead I snuck away. I don't know what to do! Should I talk to him about it? I mean it, i'll post exactly I wrote, still not proof read, and you will see how terrible the paper was.
I am not a great writer by all means, I don't mean to sound so cocky about it, but for all of the effort that I have put into past papers... this grade was not deserved.
I'll post (later) a paper I wrote in another class, you can compare writing. They both got the same grade, A-, except one I spent probably 10 hours on and the other maybe 2. You decide...
