Okay..bear with me my fingers are slightly numb. Finals week is kicking my ass so far. I'm definitely not going to have my beautiful 3.8 I had at Western last year. I'm worried about it for three reasons...1-I just applied to the college of Education here at MSU and it's really hard to get in, especially with a lower 3 something gpa. 2-I've always gotten good grades and I've never had a gpa of under 3.7 and I wasn't really ever planning on it..oh well! and 3-my parents and their expectations. I know they're paying more for me to be here rather than at WMU, but I think they'll understand...it honestly is harder here. Everyone that knows me, knows that I'm a clutz and when I make mistakes I go ALL THE WAY! And no I'm not talking sexually here people...keep your minds out of the gutter! I've made quite a few mistakes in my time...my first..falling off the bus, but lets not go there. I made the mistake of taking a really special person in my life for granted while he was taking care of me...and I regret it. The first day of class...who was on the ground with a bloody knee and an ass bruise at 8:30am??? Molly..yeah me. Okay but what happened yesterday tops all things clutzy, clumzy, and dumb as shit!
In order to tell this story I have to give you a precursor...This semester I'm in Hist 201..with a teacher that..well I don't enjoy his style of teaching..later on in my story you'll find out exactly how I feel about him. I turned in a rough draft of my 20 page paper for the class w/o footnotes b/c my prof said in class..."footnotes are suggested, but optional" and no I was not the only one who heard this. When I got my draft back I recieved a zero on the assignment b/c I had turned in an "undocumented" paper. When I got home I was still incredibly pissed so instead of yelling I took a pencil and wrote "Fuck you" on the bottom of the draft..and yes now you know what I'm going to tell you. When I turned in my draft for revisions..I completely forgot about my little message. Oh but he found it. I got to his office and he asked me what it was and I freaked..I had completely forgot about it! I told him I had been mad at myself for getting ANOTHER zero on an assignment..he seemed to buy it. I left his office at 12:30 and had to return at 5...but come on guys...who do you know that would do something like that..besides..oh wait for it...ME!
