revenaWell, I just took my last final for the semester...
Thank GOD.
It's wonderful to sit here and contemplate the done-ness of all of those classes. And the thesis. w00t. DONE.
I'm kinda pissed off, though... I got an essay and a lab sheet back from the anthro course just before/after taking the final (and seriously - shouldn't we get our work back sooner than that?), and I'm irritated with my scores. I missed five points off the essay for "bad grammar and sentence structure." The mind boggles. Here I am, brain the size of the universe... Wait, sorry... I mean: Here I am, an English major, in the English Honors program, writing ten-fifteen page term papers as a matter of course, and I'm losing points on a piddly little -book report- because my grasp of the language is apparently incomplete? Why yes, I -am- a little irritated. Why do you ask?
I also missed points off my final lab because I wasn't there. This, despite the fact that I gave my TA a full week's notice. Also, that that was the only lab session I missed all semester. Also, that she -didn't say anything at all about missing points- when I told her I'd have to miss the lab...
*sigh*
It's a total of ten measly points, and doubtless not worth raising a stink over. But I'm still hella annoyed. Hella, hella, hella.
Oh, and also... For some reason, I thought it would be a really good idea to sign up for a presession course. So I'm going back to school on... Monday.
And now, if you'll excuse me, I feel a very strong urge to drown my sorrows in ice cream. Or maybe Mountain Dew.
Thank GOD.

Date: 2005-05-13 10:55 pm (UTC)Poor you, it's so annoying when you have to pay for other people's mistakes, one of my labs has lost my book, so, apparently I'm going to have to repeat the entire thing....?!?!?! Go complain about the labs, it's the principle of the thing rather than the actual marks. (As for the book report; a lot of people think they understand grammar).
CONGRATULATIONS! No more final= excellent.
