Went to Art History class for the first time last night. I knew within five minutes that there was no way I was going to stay in this class. Not because of the content, but because of the teacher. She was SO unfocused she could barely complete a sentence, and what she did manage to say was so littered with ums and uhs as to be virtually ( Read more... )

Despite a major setback last night when I got socked with a migraine (new couch + laptop = bad posture + med withdrawal = mega headaches) and spent the evening in the dark and quiet trying not to uke instead of taking my Sociology test, I am finished ( Read more... )

1. Western Civ: Respond to inane forum postings by midnight tonight. MUST have those extra 10 points to boost my grade after the 2nd 19 page essay of doom debacle.
2. Child Psych: forum post due 12/8
3. Child Psych: read chapters 9, 10, & 11 for test on 12/10

From my Western Civ lecture on the Age of Charlemagne:

"the most effective means of instruction and edification was mural painting, which offered a kind of holy comic strip of biblical images for the largely illiterate public."

kind of like Chick tracts, only not as funny!

Talking to the department head was utterly fruitless (and he called me a whiner - that was really fun. way to take some serious allegations seriously there, dickhead). Gotta love the Old Boys Network ( Read more... )

Wrote back & forth with the prof some more. He basically says "there's no dispute because I'm right", so I'm adding it to my list of innapropriate behavior to take to the department chair (found out I have to take it there before I appeal to the dean). Although I desperately wanted to, I refrained from telling him how utterly ridiculous that is - ( Read more... )

That bad day I had given up on, that is.

Western Civ prof penalized me 50 points for submitting 1 minute after midnight.

Now I feel like shit.
Update: Huge misunderstanding. I called him and he said he didn't realize I'd submitted anything at all - he was just telling me that had I submitted what I had on time, I wouldn't have been docked 50 points ( Read more... )

I keep trying to have a bad day because I blew my paper that was due last night - I didn't finish all the sections and it was still over length and I'll be lucky to get a D - which clearly proves I'm a worthless human being, or you know - something like that.

But damn people keep showing me things that make me laugh and now I just don't have it in ( Read more... )

In working on 19 page Western Civ test number two, I'm finding that my writing just isn't as good as it was last time. I'd love to blame it on how utterly discouraging this prof is (finally got my graded test & was penalized for not listing things like which grains and which animals were domesticated - which I'd cut to fit his preposterous length ( Read more... )
