…but I just submitted it on Friday night…<\/p>\n
*gasp* *sputter* *swoon*<\/p>\n
I got paper #1 in my Experimental Psych class back this morning. As you can imagine this speedy return was completely unexpected since I’m used to a 2 week turnaround (at minimum) on grades\/feedback at RMC. Then again, I’m taking this class elsewhere since RMC isn’t offering it, so they may have different norms surrounding marking that I’m not aware of. Whatever the case may be I certainly wasn’t expecting to log into my course site this morning and find a graded paper. The sun didn’t shine on my parade very long.\u00a0 Not only wasn’t I expecting the paper back this soon, I also wasn’t expecting a B. Yep. Loxley can return to her days of heckling me and peppering my desk with B shaped objects. I have finally managed to slide lower than an A- on a course.<\/p>\n
Actually, I think I’d received a B on my first paper history paper a few semesters ago.\u00a0 It ended relatively well since I did manage to squeak through with an A- as a final grade in that course.\u00a0 I’ll have to go digging in my records to check.\u00a0 Someday.<\/p>\n
There is hope.\u00a0 The first paper is only worth 10% so if I pay attention to the feedback I’m sure I can improve the grade over the next few papers.\u00a0 Or so I’m going to keep telling myself.<\/p>\n
Friday night at Karaoke was interesting.\u00a0 We had both dare rounds and pick a song from a hat rounds.\u00a0 People put songs they would normally sing into a hat and others had to sing them. I didn’t fare too badly – Alanis Morrisette’s Head Over Feet<\/em> was my hat song. Loxley ended up with Alabama’s I’m in a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why)<\/em> while L sang Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spiri<\/em>t.\u00a0 Highlight of the singing was L’s interpretation of the ending. In Denial. In Denial. Etc. Etc.<\/em> I guess you had to be there. The dare round was, as always, evil.\u00a0 Loxley submitted Iron Maiden’s<\/span> Butterfly’s In A Gadda Da Vida<\/em> for me to sing. After that I had no guilt about having thrown her name into the hat to sing Nena’s 99 Red Balloons<\/em>.\u00a0 I did go easy on her though and chose the English version. ‘Twas an interesting night.<\/p>\n Last night we went out to celebrate Boo’s “Big Night Out\/Not Birthday Party”. Her friend C made her two amazing cheese cakes that tasted like mini slices of heaven. We learned that her friend A lives just up the street from me and seems to know everyone who works on Whyte Ave.<\/p>\n Now Sunday is here it’s time to finish off yet another assignment for MilPsych and modify a course site for work. So much for hibernating for the day and recovering.\u00a0 Drew should be calling tonight which will make my day complete.<\/p>\n UPPERDATE:<\/strong> School work is taking longer than expected so I’ve decided NOT to work OT to finish up the work related work this afternoon. 8am Monday morning is soon enough!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" …but I just submitted it on Friday night… *gasp* *sputter* *swoon* I got paper #1 in my Experimental Psych class back this morning.
