Well I have some grade updates. I ended up getting an 84 in Anthropology, which is dissapointing because I would have gotten an A, IF I COULD READ!!! I read the question for one of my essays completely wrong. LJ's back. . The question was basically like this: "There are several dimensions in which socio-cultural change models can be differentiated. One of these dimensions is level of organization. Name four dimensions that can be used to classify models." Well, instead of me listing the answers (which I actually knew), I thought the question meant to list the stratifications within the catagory "level of organization." I got only 2 out of 10 points (and I think only those were because he felt sorry for me), and I would have only needed 8/10 points to get an A! I knew everything else. Oh well...hopefully I will be able to get an A on the next test.Anyway, I thought I didn't do very well at all on my management test, there were a lot of tricky questions. But I checked last night and I got a 92, which is awesome! I was so happy. I also got my grade back for the first speech, it was an 85. Not bad I guess, but I still think the standards of grading for this class are ridiculous. Not everyone is born to speak in front of groups, no matter how many times they practice and make speeches. And since this class is basically required for my major (it was either this, or a debate class), it sucks even more that I'm being graded like I'm a communications major or something.I have been in a really creative mood lately. Like I really just want to paint and draw, and just make all kinds of things. I need some sort of project for an outlet, but I can never really decide on any specific type of thing to do.Tomorrow I have an Econ test, which I know I am not nearly ready for. It is really hard trying to teach all of this to myself (since the prof barely speaks English), especially since I have no motivation. Yeah that last post I had was kind of dramatic now that I look back on it. Things weren't really as big of a deal as I wrote it to seem, but when I get upset about something it just all has to come out. Erick and I are great, and he really is wonderful to me. I can't wait until the next time I can see him...only a week and a half, I hope it goes by quickly. Five straight sides and five edges.. . That's about it for now, I'm going to play with power point for a little while to see what I want to do for my next speech. This should be interesting. dronelv. . Peace out homedawgs..
