The good, the bad, the college

Oh College. You are and interesting little bugger, (yes I am using a British a word). Some days I like you and some days I don't. College is like clothing (Stay with me for a moment. I'm not talking about fashion here). It's fine as long as its clean but, once it gets dirty...ewwww! Most of the time college is fine and dandy. I wish some classes were not as long as they are and I wish they all spoke proper English. My classes are scattered throughout the day which gives me time to do homework in between classes. This is actually a good thing, BECAUSE it keeps me from having excuses.

Last semester I had this teacher who did not understand grading. As we all know if a test is out of 75 points per say and there are 5 problems then each problem is 15 points. (You following?) Well tell me then how I can lose 17 points on one problem? Now for the flip side, how can I get a 25 out of 15 on a problem and lose 3 points overall on the rest of the test and get a 50 out of 75???? I had to spend lots of time having her clarify her “grading”. Her answer…. “I’m the teacher”. : (……… hmmmmmm……. Not sure how that justifies you not being able to add but…….. I digress. The food is ok. I ate it for a whole semester and did not gain the freshman 15lbs…(if you know me..that isn’t a good thing).

Besides that adjusting to college life really hasn’t been that bad. I mean YES I miss not having to shower with flip flops, and I miss not having my own room. But hey we can’t all live in a super single suit…..you know who you are…(angry eyes…grrrrrr…..).

  1. i know what you mean AJ. your teacher last semester seems like she doesnt know her own grading style, she may need to go back math 101. ouch!! what a burn. i also miss showering without filppy floppys, it does tend to get annoying. i can't say the same for the room, you know my situation. ^_^
