Oh school....how I loath thee.

Please hold while I get this out....

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Thank you.

So I woke up at 5:30 this morning. Joy. To study. Then went and took my final at 7:30. It wasn't a big deal, I'm sure I got a high B. But then I get my paper back...and it's a C. My presentation was an A but my paper is a C.

What I hate about being a journalist is you're screwed for everything else. No one likes you writing style. I write the way I have been trained for the last three and a half years to write. It's fine for my J classes but everyone else basically tells me I'm a moron. Longer pargraphs, don't quote like that. You quote to support your evidence, that's given in any type of essay.

Stupid science. I don't know how to write a stupid scientific research paper. That's not in my DNA so take the irony and shove it up your ass science. I did the best I could and she doesn't like my quoting or my paragraphs. She trieds to combine sentences and add extra words -- that's not what I'm trained to do!

I am paid to write. Yet I get a C on my 100 level science paper?

Don't get me started on the other two C's I've earned on papers this semester. In, of all things my journalism class. Why? Because I don't use commas because I have been instructed that commas are evil. So when I wrte my evaluation about commas and other grammar things she didn't like as a portion of the second paper, she takes 10 points off of it and gives me a C. Seriously? What do you want from me then?

There is not a single reason I should not give five A's this semester. Sports journalism - duh. Yet he'll probably fail me. English - she's very odd and I have done well in there but who knows. Holocaust and Genocide? I should get an A...but who knows. He could've decided to grade the paper really hard. Assuming he didn't I need to study and should get an A on the fina Wednesday. Race, Gender and Media? That's the horribly graded class with the two C's. She also likes to hand out a 3.8 out of 5 on ridiculously simple assignments for no reason what so ever. Geography? Well I've ranted about that paper enough I think.

One semester I wanted a 4.0 in classes that I should've easily been able to achieve it in. Best case scenario I'm now looking at 2 A's and 3 B's. Worst case....3 B's and 2 C's. I hope.

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
