OrientedDis.. Disoriented. |
Saturday, October 05, 2002 Mid-Terms are turning out to pleasantly surprise me. The students were demanding to know their grades on the mid-term exams in my Speech & Rhetoric class. I simply slouched in my desk slightly and said out-loud under my breath, "Oh gosh.. please don't announce the grades outloud.." .. I was worried I had completely bombed the test. I hadn't gone back to check/change any of the answers I bubbled in, or my grammar on essays, like I usually do. The teacher said "well.. 'some-girl-who-wanted-to-know-her-score'.. you actually got an A! 96%.. good job.. but I must say.. who here has the last name 'insert-my-last-name'?.." I timidly raised my hand.. scared that he was going to say in-front of everyone that I needed to work on things harder.. "'Lin' got a 98% on the mid-term" ... I received the best grade in the class? Holy crap. This positive-reinforcement for my slacker-studying-ways is not a good thing. Or is it? :) I need to try harder, but why try harder if I'm amazingly doing fine. Fine in every class except history. My history professor needs to die. Haha.. eh.. no.. but he just really pisses me off.. that's all. . . . babbled Lin |
