Well, here it is 12:35am on Tuesday and I'm just hours away from confronting my English instructor on my absolutely herendous grade that she gave me. I am simply going to present the fact that six other teachers or English majors said that they would give me at least a B on the paper. Plus when you also figure in that my anthropology teacher gave me a grade of C, it is absoultely unimagionable that I could be that bad in the English portion of the paper.
In other news, I found out this evening, that even though my Intro to Computers class is scheduled to have a final on the 2nd of June, the option of taking the final on Wednesday has been presented to the class, and I will be taking full advantage of this opportunity. Also, I have been informed that I will be the CIF-SDS Lacrosse Championship announcer. For those that are not familiar with what CIF is it is the California Interscholastic Federation (the High School governing body for sports). So that will be going on Saturday at Rancho Bernardo (Northern San Diego). Also, I will be in attendance for 2 Lake Elsinore Storm Baseball games this week, Thursday and Sunday.

Not a happy camper
Well, I got my research paper back from my instructor today. D+ was the final grade. Compare this to what the perosn who helped me on the paper said she would have given me a B and you will see why I'm not a happy camper.
For those of you who haven't been paying attention, my English class is apart of what Grossmont College refers to as "Project Success". PS is when you have an english class connected to another disciplne that allows the english teacher to help you learn two subjects and have them connected so that yo can understand the information in both. For me this semester it is English & Anthropology. Since these two classes are connected (or at least they were) if you take one class you are forced to enroll in the other. At the beginning of the semester there were a total of eight people in the English class and since Dr Yoshida opened the Anthro class up, there were 15 in the Anthro. Well, since about 6 weeks ago, there have been 4 in English, and 6 in Anthro (a teachers dream, small classes = more individualized attention). So you would think that we each would have a very in depth review of our rough drafts. We got the ol you need to work on this, this, and this. When we asked questions we were told, oh you don't need to worry about that. Well, if I don't need to worry about it, then why in the bleep did you mark me down for it?
In more positive news, as of Monday night (5 days since I had joined the gym) I had lost 3 pounds. I will be returning to the gym the next three nights before my next off night of Saturday. That is all for now. See everyone later.

WOW!!!
I can't believe that I'm in this class....Intro to Computers in case you were trying to figure out which class I'm speaking of. I have been working on and with computers since I was in the 6th grade. I really wish I could have just taken a test that shows that I know what the heck they are telling me already.
Also, good news, I finished my research paper after the _ _ _ _ _ of a teacher changed the way that she wants the class to turn in the crap. I have a friend that has a degree in English that said that she would look at the paper and will look at it. I asked her to grade it VERY hard since that is the way that the English instructor grades.

YES !!!!!!!!!!
Yes, I have finally crossed a major checkpoint in my English/Anthropology term paper. I have reached the 10 sources used in my paper. With the title page, and works cited page I have reached the 8 page mark. In reality the way that this teacher (English) looks at things I have barely six pages. When the paper is due at the end of the first week in May, I will need to have typed at the least 10 pages of actual report or 12 pages total. So off to bed here at 2:40 in the am so that I can wake up no later than 1000 in order to take a shower and go meet with the _ _ _ _ _. I'll let you fill in the blanks.
I guess I'll talk/write/type later. Oh if you know what my car looks like and you live in the Northern portion of SD County or in the OC look for the "Silver bullet" on Thursday as I get the pleasure to go to Vanguard University to watch the Hawks take on the Lions. My prediction is that an animal that usually preys on others will win.
Hint: the third letter is a T.
