Today we had our end-of-semester shindig. With a chocolate fountain. Chocolate fountains are always worthy of a mention. As is the sight of Dean J. dancing with a little girl. Dean J. is my hero. She rules.
Today we turned in our final assignment in our research and writing class. I hope ours seems adequately cohesive… not like totally separate things written by three different people and then lumped together. *Sigh*
Classes are over and I have no exams, but I’m not done yet. Still gotta write a paper for ADR. Ugh. Just shoot me now. See, the thing about ADR is, see, I don’t really know how to please the professor. We’ve turned in two short papers already and both times I got, shall I say, less than perfect grades, but not much of an idea of how to do better. On the last one, all the feedback I got was that I should have used a certain word instead of the word I chose for the purpose (although according to the dictionary my word wasn’t totally wrong, even if it wasn’t the best choice). That’s it. (Oh, and use 12 pt. font.) Not to mention that everyone in the class is terrified of being an unwitting plagiarist. Sometimes you have to put quote marks around a single word. Yes, really.
*Sigh* I would have preferred an exam….
