I just wrot emy criminological theory midterm and I did awesome!! I knew all the stuff that he asked us. I had studies like crazy las tnight. I worked Wednesday (read 5 articles for my gender studies class) and still mae 4 sales! Then I came home and printed off my interview, I was able to add more to it, when I listened to it over again there were a couple of words that I had missed and a couple of ummms....etc. Yesterday I went to class, handed in my portfolio to the proff and got ready to start discussing the 5 articles I had taken the time to read. Well it turned out that hardly anyone in the class had read them so she went off on a rant about something-work weeks and stuff in different countries (for the whole hour and 20 mins!!). I don't know what that has to do with womens and gender studies, but there must have been some kind of point in there that myself and many others missed. Whatever. Then I went to my women and law class. I had read the article for this class in the morning and before my gender studies class, I was prepared again. She asked how many people had read it, again only a few. So she taught the class as if we all hadn't read it and made it a complete waste of my time to have gotten up early and read it. Grr......Then I went to my research methods class, we handed in our interview transcripts. No one had 40-65 pages, she is on crack!! I had 15-16 pages, the other girl at my table had the dame and Rose (at the table) had 21. She handed back our research questions, bitched about how poorly everyone did, even though she didn't teach us how to do one before it was due, just expected we knew how. After her rant she spent the rest of that class bitching about the grammer mistakes that people had made. She even had a slide show presentation about the most common errors we had made!! (Instead of teaching us something about research methods!) She has a degree in English and is super anal about grammer, what ever....it's not an english class. I have her next semester for advanced research methods. I don't like her, but I don't want to switch and have a professor expect us to know a whole wack of stuff that she's never taught us. I came home after taht. I made myself a grilled cheese sandwich and studied some crim theory. I then went ot meet my seminar group to discuss what was going to be the order of our presentation and what kind of activities we would have the class do. (I was actually the person who found all of the activites, not to toot my own horn, but "toot toot!") :) We left at 8pm, cause I had to study and another guy had to go to a softball game. So I got home and studied from8ish to 9:30pm, gave mom a call, and watch CSI at 10pm. I didn't wuite feel like studying at 11pm, so I goofed around for a bit, but at about 11:45pm I started to go through all my notes again. At 1am Sam and I went to bed. I got up this morning at 9:30am, showered and got dressed, watched regis and kelly and studied for another hour. I work tonight, it shouldn't be to bad though, there are new leads and I'll bring the smutty romance novel Lisa lent me. Time goes by alot faster when I have something to read. I think Sam and I are gonna go to a movie tomorrow. I have to run it by him, but our certificate came in. (we cashed in some air miles) We get two admissions, two regular drinks, and a large popcorn. I don't work Saturday and I don't think he works to late. I don't know what movies are out though....hmmm.......any suggestions? I'll work on my part of the seminar on Saturday, and finish that up. Sunday we meet to put everything together and to a run through of the information, to make sure we have time for everything, or cut stuff if we don't etc. Monday we present and that's it. We have a book review in two weeks and that's it for the whole course, hardly anything!! Woohoo! I think mom and I have decided that her and Richard will pay for half of my drivers education as a christmas gift. I called first rate drivers education yesterday and they offer courses almost monthly at the high school. The total cost with taxes is $499. It includes 28 hrs in class, 11 hrs driving, and the test is included with the use of one of their cars. When I checked in May young drivers was $629+ tax! Actually my friend Jackie Thomas is taking it with them right now and she said it came to $740. First Rate has it on the weekends (4 Saturdays in a row), so that's pretty convenient and the high school is right next door. They have one November 18th, but I'm really busy and I'll be working in December, so I think that January would be the best time to take it. I told Jaymi the hours I need off for x-mas and my one exam and she reminded me that I can take my vacation pay, so I'll still have money coming in!! I completely forgot. Anyway gotta get ready for work....gotta catch my bus soon.....write later :)
