the past week has been crazy. last week was the most stressful week ever, and I almost totally lost it on Wednesday. you see, we were given the option to turn our paper for adv. college writing in early for 5 bonus points. so i did. then she told the people who turned them in (there were 4 of us) that we didn't have to come to class on thursday. so, just to be sure, I e-mailed her on wednesday:
Mrs. Curran,
I was just wondering if there were any problems with my paper that would cause me to need to come to class tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks,
~Crystal
and I got this reply:
Crystal: I am sorry, but I received FOUR papers yesterday, and yours was NOT one of them. I double checked my blue folder. Please double check your notebook!
YES you will need to come to class with your paper! You DO understand that your paper is DUE tomorrow! I am returning them during exam time. Mrs. Curran
*scowl* it killed me, because i knew i gave it to her, and while i could print out another copy of my final paper, we had to turn in our annotated bibliography that she already graded too, and I couldn't give that to her again if she already had it. so i replied with this:
Mrs. Curran:
I'm sorry, but I know for a FACT that I gave you my paper, along with my graded annotated bibliography, rough draft, and peer editing paper on Tuesday after class. I was one of the several who stayed after, and one of the four that turned our papers in.
and after waiting and waiting and waiting some more, i got a reply from her:
Crystal: I am SORRY! You are right; I just found your paper in my book bag NEXT to the blue folder. I will call you! Mrs. Curran
what ev. i was ready to cuss the lady out. it was insane.
but anyway, all was resolved, and i didn't have to go to printmaking or adv. college writing on thursday. i finished my photo project that night as well, and it turned out very nice, i must say. and it got a good response in the critique, so that's even better.
so i was glad for friday to be over after bio lecture. dr. karrick canceled band, so i only had the 10:00 bio class, and i was home free. i have a bio lecture exam wednesday, and a history test thursday. everything else is just cleaning up the darkroom, the printmaking studio, and getting my paper back in adv. college writing.
two nights ago, my world was flipped upside-down in an amazing way. i am now in the best mood i've been in for a long time, and it's really wonderful. i have this splendid driving force that will get me through the exams i do have, and my winter class as well.
well, I guess i'll go get some studying done before i have to go to work at 3. toodles.
Sealed With A Click,
