March Madness
This isn’t going to be about basketball so if thats what you are thinking, too bad. I don’t know enough about basketbell to write about it, but as a side note, a very nice guy who knew I wanted to see Steve Nash play gave me a ticket to the Suns game that is coming through here.
Joel is back from his spring break and we had a dtr which went well. Only he is a night person too and we usually stay up until 2- 4 a.m. which makes 8 o clocks really difficult. I was late to work tonight because I fell asleep after class. I also have 5 papers due this month so I’m going to have to manage my time better. I can’t wait till this semester is over.
Class has been really discouraging. After my professor passed back our midterms, told us they were horrible, made us grade them and then rewrite them, he decided that maybe he didnt want to give us a multiple choice final after all. What is it that teachers have against multiple choice? If people dont test well its their own fault! They teach you how to test in school, or their are seminars to help if they didnt. I let him know right away that I was not interested in writing another sentence and that he would probably get the same results if he gave us another essay exam like the midterm. So…our final is now an oral test. We will go to his office,he will quiz us, then we will discuss with him what grade we think we should get for the semester and he will discuss with us what grade we really will be getting for the semester. Apparently its a British testing method. While, I’m still a little bitter over the axing of multiple chioce exams, I’m not too worried about this. It will be like Sr. Joven’s spanish three class. All of our exams were spoken and if there was one thing that class taught you it was how to BS your way through anything. I like the idea that we can argue our grade with our professor too, though why a professor would do that to himself is beyond me. Oh well, its his own fault I guess.
bleh I’m tired. I’m done for now.

Reminds me of the old speaker’s saw… If you can’t dazzle ‘em with facts, baffle ‘em with bs.

I think the idea is that he should be able to see through the bs.
Your midterm wasn’t good?

See through it? no , they thrive on BS here. Currently my classes are staging a coup before this crazy final he keeps changing up on us.
I can’t remember my dreams lately. I remember that mom has been in them alot and that i have this general feeling that she is pressuring me to do something but I cant remember what happens.
