I jus finished my corrections midterm and I think I did really well. I didn't do as well as I had hoped on the last one, so I studied my ass off for this one. I studied all the right suff, well I studies dates cause I thought she would have something in there about when probation was brought into Canada(1889-young offenders, 1921-federal law, and 1927-into the criminal code of Canada). I figured I'd just share since I studied it. There were some other dates too, but the only thing I wasn't really expecting was the questions taht involved percentages of offender reicidivism. I wasn't expecting that, I had glanced at the hand out, so I think I got a few right. I did awesome on the short answer questions though, so I know right there I've got 20/50 marks, the rest were the multiple choice. I figure if I get 20/29 multiple choice right and 20/21 for the short answer, I'll come out with an 80%. I'm happy with that. This professor doesn't get the point of a bonus question though, as an extra point. She includes it in her calculation like any other question, really it is a regular question, labelled as a bonus. I have to finish my sociolgy of communications essay this weekend, I'd also like to finish my mod soc theory research assignment, just to have it done. Then I've got to read this stupid, mind numbing book to read and write a book review. But that is due in 1 1/2 weeks, so I've got alittle bit of slacking room. I go to get my couch and chair today!! I'm so excited, I just got an email from the girl saying that her boyfriend would be the only one coming, she has to work, but he'll be coming at 6:30pm. Woohoo!! I love new furniture! Mom also offfered to help me pay for a coffee and end table set when I was talking to her last night. *Thanks mom!!* Which is really weird, because Sam and I had just been looking at a nice set the day before when we went to get groceries. oh yeah *note to self-pay the phone bill* That's due today to. I really need to get back to work, on top of my bills every month, I'm taking a course this summer, and I have to come up with $490 to pay for it, and I talked to the proff this morning, there are 2 text books that I need to buy. Oh...I was talking to my professor, who I'm taking my senior sociology seminar with next year ( I have her for 2 classes this semester) and I asked her about what would be covered in the seminar. I guess it is a seminar on the sociology of Food!! yeah! on Food!! I mean, really these people can just pull topics out of their asses and call it a subject just because they have their PhD's!! Ridiculous!! Oh, well...she is a good proff, and I rather learn something about food, than learn nothing about another topic with another proff. My communications professor is a weird marker. He gave me an A- on an essay I barely worked on and a C+ on a midterm that I really studied for, and I have no idea what I did wrong. My friend Melissa told him that she is really busy right now and worried about the final exam, so he said O'k just make the paper, due this Monday, alittle longer and you don't have to write a final exam!! I don't see how making an essay longer is going to cause her any less stress, but no exam!! He is nuts!! That's not fair to the rest of the class either, we don't have the option of writing a longer essay, which he marks easier, than writing an exam!! I have so much information on my topic, I could totally make it longer than it has to be. That is the class I have next, maybe he'll offer that option to us. I still haven't won anything on roll up the rim!! Nothing!! I'm off to class....comment!! :)
