Hey everybody. How are we all feeling this week? I have yet again another blog topic that seems to just be me complaining, but that seems to be the general theme the past couple of weeks so I am just going to go with it.
So, I handed in a paper last week to another one of my classes and I spent a lot of time working on it. When I say a lot, I would guess approximately 5 weeks I spent on this paper. The professor let us look at our grades on Tuesday, but only let us look because it is his intention to hand back the papers on Thursday, and he gave me a 2.0! A 2.0! I do NOT believe it! I worked so incredibly hard on this term paper and he gives me a 2.0. Let me explain why this is an outrage to me. First of all, I have had this certain professor in the past and I have done many other papers for him. I have never gotten anything below a 3.7 in the past and suddenly I get a 2.0? What is going here? Second of all, I am a 3.5 student and above generally. So, the whole idea of getting anything below a 3.0 just naturally upsets me and I got a 2.0. Again, what is going on here? I cannot help but think that it is all my fault. Like I said, I have had the Professor in the past so I know exactly what he expects. Let me tell ya, I cannot wait to get this paper back on Thursday and find out what happened and why I am getting such a horrible grade. At least we have the opportunity for a re-write, right? I guess I have to look at the up side. Ugh...it just still bothers me thinking about it and even telling this story to everything following my blog!
Anyway, staying with the theme here, I am sure everyone has heard that saying, "When it rains, it pours"? After I leave class yesterday, I get in my car and I cannot wait to get home. I go to back out and someone backs into me! Give me a god damn break here! I am probably one of the most cautious people on the road and I saw this woman's reverse lights on so I waited what felt like an eternity before I even moved. She did not go anywhere so I decided to back-up. So I guess somewhere between all of that she decided NOT to look in her rear view and just slammed on her accelerator and backed up directly into me! And then she gets out of her car like it was my fault. Go figure she was talking on her cell phone. Ugh...people sometimes!
So I just thought I would mention this next thing. I wanted my blog to be about improving my writing originally and it has just seemed to be me complaining about life. But maybe while I have complained, I have improved? Has anyone noticed at all if I need help on anything? I appreciate any comments!
