Yep I know that feeling! I had to give a speech about the chuditch and the effects of fox baiting on it for a class. I stammered around every subject and actually forgot to mention what a chuditch was. The first question asked was "What is a chuditch?"Quote:

Oh well, one time already I had index cards prepared and I never got to use them coz while out there in front, I gave in to panic that I forgot to take a look at my cards. Talk about being stupid! I looked like a total idiot trying to think of words to say while a deafening silence was all around. Yikes!
I just finished my next to the last assignment. I haven't even started the last one and it's due on Tuesday. Man I don't want to even look at it! I just keep thinking about how nice it will be to paint my living room. If I can finish the assignment tomorrow I'll paint on Monday, but it will probably be Wednesday. Am I the only one who is sick of it?
I'M DONNNNEEE!!!
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:
OH WOW!!! I'm so happy for you!
Thanks :D
ok, how? The professor gives us a take home test to go along with the in-class test. After grading the professor announced that she wasn't going to count the take home because too many people either didn't do it or got far to much wrong to count. This was a gimmee, how can you not do well on a take home test when the answers are in the book!!!!
:banana:I JUST TURNED IN MY LAST PROJECT FOR THE SEMESTER!!!! I'm just so happy. :banana::banana::banana:
YAY MOMH!!! That's so exciting!!
Hooray! Well done! Does that mean you can get out to your garden now?Quote:

So I’ve been busting my behind this semester. It has been the most difficult and challenging semester I’ve ever had. Not because of the difficult of the classes, but because of the extreme workload. In addition, the instructions are vague at best. Some are little more than a statement. When we ask a specific question about a specific assignment she often refers us to the syllabus which gives the statement and no clarification. I often feel like I’m groping in the dark. On top of that, nothing is being graded. There are substantial assignments that I turned in the first week of February that are still not graded.
I hate to hear students talk about how bad a teacher is because I often find that they are placing blame for bad grades and shoddy work on the teacher when it doesn’t belong there. That’s not the case here, my grades are really exceptional. But I expect to be dealt with professionally. I received a caddy e-mail from a teacher this week and I’m so mad I could spit!
Whooo Hoooo!!! I just took my last final of the semester.
YAY Congrats Papaya!!

anyone taking summer classes?
So, the semester project has been delievered. Summer starts today, with vigourous cleaning of the apartment, ice cream, and excellent dinner before a suicidal karate session. Today marks the end of my two basis years of University, after summer my single bachelor year starts, and then, then I've got my degree... Seems very strange. In one year from now, I'm submitting my bachelor project. Well, Hello Summer.
I GAVE my last final today. After which my two most irrepressible students in that class piled some desks on top of one another and I was forced to yell at them.
Sent my assignments off last week and attended one of the trainings yesterday. Now, I am supposed to complete the assignment for that one if I want to get a certificate.
There are two more trainings to attend but I enjoy them mostly so no problems there.
YAY! :banana:
( do we know what scher is studying? :confused: :p

lol I'm like that too. I worked for a couple of years after high school, and now when I see kids who DON'T do their homework I just don't get it. I think the reason is that they're fresh out of highschool and still in that frame of mind where your parents are there to make sure you do everything. I'm pretty sure you won't be the oldest one there either, I was looking at my school statistics last month and the average age for students is 27, with 9% of students over the age of 40. We had three students who were older than 80.
Also, could someone explain to me what's so awesome about buying school supplies? My irl friends like it too, and they aren't even interested in school. I HATE that part. Stupid excess cardboard, and the scissors are IMPOSSIBLE to open (ironically, if I only had some scissors...), and all of the pencils are dull and you have to sharpen them, and all of the people at the store that you have to deal with... ugh, no thank you. Shopping for anything sucks.
Semester finally done, I just took my project exam, the group project had been awarded a C, but in my defence today I managed to talk it to an A. And now... Summer vacation!
Way to go, Chava!
I am trying to complete yet another assignment; it is optional for a course I attended couple of weeks ago. Unless you complete the assignment, they do not give you a certificate so thought why not? But, as always, I'm wondering why I do such things...
And next week I will be attending another course with similar framework. :-/
I'm a few weeks into my summer class. So far it's not as difficult as I thought it would be, but the prof is a bit...sketchy. He doesn't always seem to know what he's talking about and twice he's unexpectedly canceled class. Actually the second time he didn't really cancel...he just didn't show up.
My results just came out and I got a 2.1
~:banana:
now I have to go back to my dancing and singing!
excuse me please!
Congratulations, Nightshade - I think quite a bit of dancing and singing would be well in order! And a little something bubbly to go with it!

No summer classes for me thank goodness. This quarter was rather enjoyable but it just about killed me! I had been threatened to be kicked out because I was placed on academic probation (personal home life issues blah)...let's just say that gave me motivation enough.
Final Score:
Andean Archaeology: A
Caribbean Culture and Society: A
Islam and Iranian History: C
Cannot tell you how proud I am of that stupid C! I'm bragging I know...but the professor completely gave me a hard time personally in that class. She told me I would have to do an amazing job on my term paper to pass her class. I must have done an amazing job. That woman had fun attacking me. Guess she doesn't like anthro majors. :D
One more quarter left...one class left...and I'll have my BA!!!!! Wooot!!
Sorry...I'm soo satisfied with my grades...you have no idea what a quarter it's been!
You know, I don't like buying school supplies, but I look forward to purchasing the textbooks with an unhealthy excitement lol!
ITs an UPpers second class honors. Basically I got the second Highest I could get!Quote:
