It's called Homework. Ughh!!! Maybe taking 5 classes my first semester back to college in 18 years was not such a good idea. I am on a homework treadmill that won't turn off. At least the pace it manageable right now. Maybe that's because I'm not working. Actually, I am starting to get into the groove of things so hopefully it will settle down. I am such a creature of habit that when I start a new routine life is always a little unsettling.
I took my first college test since the semester began yesterday. I was a little nervous, but actually reverted back to my former college day test taking habits. I put off doing the outline and the study guide until right before my exam. Of course, my memory is still in working order so I remembered everything really well. It was a 50 question multiple choice history test. I took it in 11:58 minutes. I'm not sure how I did yet, but I know I missed a few. The ones I missed were the ones I didn't have any information on so it was purely a guess.
This morning at 7:30 a.m. is my first Algebra test. (Since being back to school.) I actually feel pretty good about it. I think I've got the gist of the formulas down. I guess we'll see. My first English paper, the teacher gave me a 9 out of 10. I completely disagree with his assessment. I could go into detail, but what he took the one point off for was not right. I think he was just trying to make a statement. Plus, he made a snide comment about it. What's the deal with English teachers, anyway? (Except for you Marissa.)
I don't feel like I an "A" student yet--which is what I wanted to be. But, maybe B's. The old gears are starting to turn again. My advice: if you haven't been to college in a couple of decades, start off slow.

I would love to know what he said was wrong and refute it for you. Scott is back in school too and his teacher last semester said he had 3 SMUG (spelling, mechanics, usage, grammar) errors on his paper and I wanted to call her up and argue with her. No he didn't! I read it a 4 times. I will do the same for you. Give me the number!!! I've got your back. (As I write this and get myself worked into righteous indignation, I'm literally pounding on my computer keys.)
