So I just wrote a big post, but then I remembered who reads this site, who has the ability to read this site, and all of the places the link to this site are....so I deleted it. For all the right reasons, though. Sooo...hmmm....I have a couple of big tests coming up, which is the same for just about the rest of ya, so I'm sure you couldn't give a rat's ass. I got my first paper back from my British Lit. class the other day: 89 out of 100. I was pumped. I'm sure you are all thinking, "wait a minute, isn't he a Writing and English major? Shouldn't he get a better grade than that?" No, you need to understand this professer. He is the HARDEST GRADER of all the English Prof's. He is also the prof. who teaches GRAMMER. Which means that every little tiny grammer mistake you make he will count against you. My had only a little bit of red marks on it....and he took off 11% of the grade. His comments were: "Corey, this is a good paper. You make solid points and observations, and back them up with exerpts from the text. Good job." At any rate, I was happy....especially because gave back the papers AFTER he put up how many people got A's, B's, C's, D's, and F's.....yes 4 people out of the class got F's. This was the scariest part for me, 'cause I saw how many people got F's compared to A's (12).....this is out of 35 people....and plus, these are all English and Writing major's. It's a 300 level course. And there are only 4 soph's including me in that class. Aaaannywhoo.....that was cool. Peace.
