I realize I’ve neglected this journal quite fitfully and it’s quite a shame. I blame summer lethargy, but now that term’s started again and I realize how useful a tool blogging can be, even for just my own records, I’m going to attempt to give a run-down of everything that’s happened in the last month and has been happening lately. more »
Okay, I rarely brag about my grades anymore, since I used to get stuff that looked like this:
But since transferring to the college, and anthropology, I’ve been doing so much better!
The reason I waited until today is because the professor from my killer course, The Ethnographic Imagination, initially gave me a B. This is a course I slaved over, there were about 200ish pages to read per session, and I did every single one of them plus went to all the recitation sections and handed in all the (very ambiguous) assignments. I know I aced the final exam, because it was a take-home one, and I actually READ all the books. As opposed to one of my friends, who I think missed the entirety of classes in March. So I was pretty steamed to get a B (if so, what did you have to do to get an A?) but I kept my mouth shut, figuring I’d weathered worse things in my life and the professor was just a hard-ass.
She emailed me a few weeks ago saying that with a computer glitch had messed up some of the grades and that after another review, she was changing my grade to an A. And today it finally showed up on my transcript! So hurrah!
