Let that be a lesson in parenting...tell a kid you can't have a rifle and he ends up a sniper.
Professor took forever to grade last weeks paper, but hey! I got 100%
I would be happy with this... no what I mean to say is I AM happy with this.
But.....
Then he included this: "Very well done!!!! A wonderful organized and thoughout paper. Some work needed on APA citations and references, but nothing major."
But then he wouldn't tell me what was needed.
Don't get me wrong. I am happy with the grade. And I know most people would be like "wtf are you buggin' about?" or something of that nature. I aced the paper. I shouldn't worry about it. (In the words of Ecamer, "You passed it. Don't worry about it. It's not a big deal" Then again, he is not the most supportive person in the world.)
But.. I hold myself to very VERY high standards. (Ecamer says at times they are impossible.) So when the professor says some work is needed but doesn't tell me exactly what... doesn't point out what exactly he is talking about, then it drives me nuts. So despite getting a great grade, I still have that sense of not doing my best. Plus, these little things that I missed may come back to haunt me.
And that is a tad bit annoying.
Other updates:
Kindergoth is now home more often. This cuts into my study time significantly. But it's nice to have her around. Except when she decides to be a brat. Though she did make a good point the other day when I asked her to clean her room. She looked at me and replied: "Chores are evil". Can't say I argue with her logic.
Health-wise: Um.. I have good days and bad. I focus on my studies to keep my mind off my health. Can't handle the heat so I stay indoors 95% of the time. The other 5% I venture out either after the sun goes down to visit Vampy, or early enough to run errands and be home by 10am at the latest.
School: Still passing. See above. I will decide at the end of this term if I am going to try for my certificate or wait until the spring. Cost is the major factor.
Family: My dad decided against a visit. He told me this on Father's Day.. *shrugs* It doesn't matter. Yeah it stings a little but whatever, ya know? I'm used to reaching out and getting my hand slapped. At least he was a bit more gentle then the rest of them... :/
And that's about it. Nothing super exciting...
