I'm a bear!
It has been 8 months, 3 weeks, and 2 days since I left for China. Yup. My countdown clock is still on my profile page so now it's just counting up (???) the days since that date has passed. Woo! I just can't remove it... Exactly this time on August 31st all those months ago I was sobbing. SOBBING, PEOPLE. Because I was so terrified and was going to miss everyone and extremely excited at the same time. I felt weird. But anyways....
I haven't updated in forever! My poor lj must feel neglected. This term has gone by so fast and I'm glad. I can't wait to be done with that Vichy France class. I finally got back my short paper from weeks ago. I got a B- yes! It's going to be worth 25% of my grade. And then the whacko assignment that was due yesterday is another 25%. Seriously the strangest assignment ever. We were given a topic and told to write the paper in 70 minutes, as if it were an in class writting. What the heck? This was assigned on Monday so we had like no time at all to do it. Bah! And then we just found out more details about our exciting final paper due at the end of the term. I'm going to have what, a week or less to write that one? Because we still don't have our topics and are nowhere near close to the writing process yet. Booness! That paper will be worth another 25%. And then during our final class we have to present our papers (something I've never done in a Sophie class). That's the rest of the 25% of our grade. What is up with that grading system? Just got it yesterday too. So why exactly are we doing all these class activities and things if we have no participation grade? There's something really wrong here..... In conclusion, stay away from Sophie's classes. ;)
Have I mentioned that I hate Spring? Because I do. I like the nicer weather, but allergies stink. Bwah!
