We are not amused

So Mona' vet vist went okay, despite lots and lots of screaming. Her anal glands were full but not bad. The vet was more concerned about her stool. We're gonna try and new food and try going back on the pred and see. I felt awful, the poor tech had to wrap her in this giant Strawberry Shortcake thick blanket and even then she screamed like they were torturing her.

Today's been a kinda "What the hell" kinda day. I got peed on by atleast three differnt dogs and I felt clumsy all day.

I did however get my grades today. Now while I am perfectly content with my grades there's something that immediately triggered my "what the hell" reponse. See if you can spot the problem:

Basic Lab Procedures 96 A+
Professional Development 98 A+
Canine and Feline handling 91 A+
Veterinary Office Skills 75 B
Pet Nutrition 96 A+
Dog Grooming 90 A+
Livwestock Care 99 A+

A B? Now I know a 75/B is a perfectly exceptable mark. But c'mon! How the hell did I only get 75? The only thing the damn teacher bothered to mark and return to us was a quiz where I got 14/15. She told me our groups progress reports were some of the best she saw and she sent me an email telling me I did well on our big test, granted I never got it back nor saw the mark.

But 75?

This REALLY REALLY pisses me off since I actully put effrort into her bullshit excuse for a class. I am serious considering contesting the grade because damnit, this isn't like highschool where I slacked off and was happy to walk away with a 75. Now that's not to say if I contest the grade and it's shown to me that I actully did only earn a 75 but still. The woman never graded anything on time nor gave us any feedback to help us improve a grade. I mean if I was only functioning at a 75 level in the course I would have tried harder, but I didn't have any clue to how I was doing

Needless to say I'm pretty annoyed. Which again I admit is sill since a 75 is a decent mark and there are people dying all over the world and suffering and what not who deserve a whole lot more pity/attention then I do with my 75. But it's a principle of the thing damnit. Anyone who looked at my report card can plainly see that if there's something wrong here it's not with me, but with the teacher.

*sigh* I'm hot and annoyed now. I'm probably gonna go have a nap then hang out with Jenn tonight. Tomorrow there's 6 surgeries going on in the morning so I'm gonna try and get into the clinic at 10/11 depending. This is my last week but I might ask if I can still come in and help in June just so I'm not spending all my time freaking out in my apartment

grrrrr man I really want to punch Gail (office com teacher) in the face right now

emotions, school
