dannysgirlsg1I was gonna put "I'm committing suicide!" as the subject, but I didn't think that would go over too well if you didn't realize I had watched Hook on Saturday - so I stuck with something a little more obvious. BTW, that scene in the ship with Hook and Smee - CLASSIC! I always laugh so hard - I need to make quote icons for that movie!
So just a few things I wanna touch on in this time when I SHOULD be studying some more for the EUH test (I say more b/c I've been studying pretty much all weekend at various times)...
Took the 2nd Test in ANT today - I'm not sure if I did WELL (meaning A/B area), but I knew more than I did for the last test, so the grade SHOULD be higher than a 48 this time. I REALLY need it to be since we only have 5 grades in the class, including attendance. And this is one of my core classes for my major, so I HAVE to get at least a C in the class.
Saw my grade for my GLY midterm - 61. I'm satisfied with that because the test was hard as fuck (more than half the class had a problem with it) and I wasn't even sure if I was gonna PASS it. D isn't something to brag about, but at least it's passing (JUST passing at 61!)
I DID get an A on the GEA test on Asia and Austrailia - 90 to be exact! *dances* It's helped keep me motivated and keep my spirits up with the whole studying business. I really HATE to study, but i've come to learn it's a necessity in these classes. Though for GEA, it's all about the memorization and having a good photographic memory helps with that.
And just yesterday, got my grade for the EUH paper - 48/50! I was a little iffy about it b/c it was about persecution and I had just read the book about Anne Boleyn and was feeling particularly evil towards Christian religions at the time, so I felt it got a little too preachy even though I was trying HARD to keep it objective. It paid off because he said my arguments were good and the writing was strong - the thing that brought the it down 2 points was I made a mention of something that wasn't part of the topic of the paper (I had intended to go back and take it out because I realized I couldn't focus on it, but forgot to), but thankfully never went into it.
In other, non-school related news, it's FUCKING COLD here. And i'm not saying COLD like all y'all northerners would expect when people say cold, but COLD for FLORIDA in OCTOBER. Right now, it's 54 F. Both my Google desktop and the Weatherchannel say the high is supposed to be 60, but it's already 1:30, the sun is shining, and it's not even 55 out. I DOUBT it's gonna get up to sixty. I got up this morning, and it was 41 with a wind chill of 37. The low for tonight is 31. For Tally, this is not uncommon - but it is when it's OCTOBER. Last year, it didn't get this cold here until AFTER I got back from Connecticut (it followed me, dammit!) - that was November. Halloween time is still WARM weather for us Floridians - it better not be cold like this on Friday. Lingerie in 50 F weather is not fun (Rocky Horror is playing at the SLC, so don't think I'm wearing Lingerie as my costume - I'm gonna be a whore... literally. I'm dressing up as a Renaissance wench. XP)
And my final note is - Bangarang is the new awesome. Awesome is just so mainstream and overused, and I'm tired of having to use it for both expressions of amazingness AND of sarcasm (which is what I use it for most anyway). So I'm gonna start using Bangarang in it's place when something is amazing. It's so fun and, well, people who are part of the cult fandom for Hook will appreciate its use! XD
