Oh School

Running, running, running. Can I do anything else? I feel like I am constantly into something or always have something to do. What is great about this is that my stress level rises because my computer will stop working or blackboard (this lovely site that is supposed to be user friendly for all) won't load. It sucks!!!!!! I'm tired of having a slow computer where the internet will all of a sudden stop responding or so much homework. What really sucks about this term is that I feel like it is just a bunch of busy work. Classes where I just read and post comments on blackboard for others to see. I mean the papers I have to write are good for me and so is my German class that teaches grammar. The others just seem like busy work.

My German lit class is not as fun as I thought it would be. The professor is a little dry and always asks questions about the books we read. I know, seems totally reasonable. It would be if any of us had half a clue as to what was going on. We just finished one of the hardest text I have ever read in German, and that is saying a lot since I went to school in Germany for a semester.

Geology is alright, but it is nothing that really interests me for the long term so it's not my favorite. Rocks are cool, but I still want to interpret at this point. I find it a pointless class. I understand we need these general education classes to make sure there is no hidden passion within us and to give us a well rounded education. I'm just so passionate about German that I'm ready to just get going with it.

The paper I was working on I'm finally done with. I slaved over it for quite some time then the teacher gave me a note on the paper that said there was no argument at all and that it was vague; it does not pass at this point. Talk about freaking scary. I have never got anything lower than a B on a writing assignment. That was a tough blow. The biggest problem for me is all she wrote was that there was no argument and it was vague. Not very helpful, so I went to the writing lab. Pretty freaking cool. They are like miracle workers in just a half hour. OK, maybe that was just how it worked out for me, but still. I recommend the writing lab if you are every struggling with any part of your writing. They really know what they are talking about and they help you figure out what in the world you are trying to say. Now it is re-written and ready to be turned in tomorrow. Hopefully this time it is an A.

Well that is all I can dig up for now. So until next time...
