Hm.
So today was the second time a teacher used my paper anonymously to show the whole class as an example. So this was what happened.
Walked into class and got the 3 different handouts: a passage of our reading, mid-semester evaluation, and 2 examples of short papers that we have to do stapled together. I remembered hella trying to see who the name was cause she crossed it out, but I realized that you can’t make it out from the ink and thought “man. good thing my shit ain’t on here or else that would be hella embarrassing.” Then I fucking flipped the page and saw my shit! The teacher didn’t say anything yet so I was hella thinking oh fuckkkk. Maybe the teacher is tryna show an example of a good one and a hella bad one (mine being the hella bad one.) But later on she explained the criteria she wanted and the first one is what she’s looking for which she would give 5/5, while the second one lacked one of them but had really good analysis (something she was looking for in the criteria too) and would give 4/5. I was thinking oh that’s not that bad. Then after she explained it, a student pointed out that the first paper didn’t follow the spacing requirement of double space and having it within 3 pages and argued that if the 2nd paper (mine) were giving as much room to deliberate the write up question he/she would have probably had a chance to get a 5 too. Then the whole class went on saying how it is unfair cause the scoring is out of 5 and anything below a 3 is basically failing. Then the teacher explained that her Swedish way of grading for this is that 2.5 is a C. After that we were all like OHHHHH. hahahahhahaaaa. Then the class made it even harder saying how it’s confusing and mind fucking and how she should make a rubric of what exactly is she looking for and how she will grade. Then she told us that the higher levels of the school boards require professors to have the class’ average grade at a certain grade and the professors have to change their grading to match that. Then some students went more ballistic saying that’s unfair cause if the whole class deserve A’s they should just get it. I mean I understand why the high of the highest school board people would want that because school is about challenging people right? And if everyone is getting A’s that MIGHT mean the teacher teaches hella good and the students don’t need help at all but seriously what’s the chances of that? I just hope it’s not professors giving out the letter grades just to match the requirement though.
Yeah I don’t know why I typed about this. It’s 5am in the morning now LOL and I realized that it’s not that I’m a good writer or anything, it’s that I’m fucking good at following directions. LOL I mean after what? 14+ years of school wouldn’t you think you kinda know what teachers are looking for in response papers by now? Fuck though, I wish my vocabulary was better cause my wording vs the first person’s is shit. LOL I mean you can get a pretty good idea from my tumblr posts cept this is more informal. I basically speak exactly how I type anyway and since I don’t have a big vocabulary, my formal writing is pretty damn similar. Yeah. for the ones that read this, I decided to change to a Psychology major but I haven’t legitimately change yet cause the department head told me to take the courses and really see if I like them. God I’m not following my “goals” list that well. LOL
It sucks to not have to work, to go home to get money, to owe people money, to have to worry about money. Money can make someone sooooooo sad. Like not being able to go out to eat cause you don’t have money and blah. Thank goodness I have some red envelopes waiting for me at home. LOL too bad I have $300+ debt to pay off in like… 2 days. LOL Damn credit card. NEED TO BUILD CREDIT! LOL.
This semester is sooooooooo busy! PCN :D I’m in drama, tango, and hip hop. Which takes up time to practice and hell week is the week after spring break :( SO SOON. Spring break is starting March 5th. yayyyyyyy. I also work Weds and Fridays from 7pm-11pm. And I’ve been needing to call in cause of complications due to rho stuff. Oh and Rho stuff. But it’s not that bad now cause rush is over :D. Everything is so fun this semester, I got to admit. Being about to joke around in PCN, fun coworkers at work, bigger group of girls to chill with with Rho. Psych majors have to read a lotttttttttttttt. I need to form a detailed schedule with when to read and when to nap. Ahhhhhhh. LOL I suck with time management. I’ll never change man. I’m never gonna get a real job. yackkkkk. I took a survey today online and it asked about full time job stuff, it got me thinking though. Fuckkkkkkk I’m supposed to be out of college in 2 years, then what? Grad school? Yeah, if I really want to become a counselor. Ugh more school, more papers, more reading, more debt. Then in order to become a counselor, I need to have hours then I need to make good impressions to get a full time job. What if a job offer finds me and turns out I didn’t need any of my degrees in the future? Eh, go with the flow right? I need a direction to flow to first though! I need to network more and speak to people and be friendly. It’s good to know people in places. Need to make good impressions, need to get good grades. Ah it’s late! forgot I have class at 10 2mrw. TIME TO SLEEP! Yeah this post could have went on for soooo much longer. Well, I’ll write again in a few months. LOL
