So I haven’t written in a while…
But I’ll try to keep this short. I’ve had way too much to do lately, and now I actually finished revising my two papers for which I have second drafts due tomorrow, so I feel a little ahead of myself. I was going to have a test tomorrow as well, but he postponed it because so many people in the class had political science orals this week, including me. I should be totally freaking out, but I’ll leave that for Friday afternoon right before I do it. I don’t feel confident at all in it because I’ve only really had 2 classes that seem to pertain to the questions they gave me. One was freshman year and I threw away my notes and the other I had a Korean teacher was is no longer here and half the people dropped out because the class was so bad. He was nice and gave us grades and followed his syllabus. It was just a little hard to follow him. So I know nothing concerning political science, I’ve decided, which probably isn’t good considering that’s what I’m supposed to do when I get to Oxford. Oh well. If I think about that, the frustrations will just be way too much.
Speaking of frustrations, my history teacher still sucks but she got in a car wreck and broke both her wrists so I feel bad complaining. She does seem to be trying a little harder. She is supposedly going to give us a mid-term still after I talked her into it by sending her an e-mail and saying that our final should not be worth 50% of our grade, especially when we’ve had no grades to judge ourselves by. She seems to be trying to give us a few assignments, so now I don’t know if I should go to the department chair. I wrote one e-mail and showed it to my advisor and he said I needed to make it a little less pointed. I was a tad angry. So I didn’t send that one, but sent a much shorter one focusing on the fact that she had taken away our mid-term. I guess if I still haven’t gotten the mid-term by next Monday, I’ll go to the chair.
I’m almost done with my thesis, almost done with my papers, and almost done with my comps. Can’t wait!
