3rd day o' school

English Comp:

Today, we had a substitute. Our assignment was to write an essay about three animals we closely identify with. I chose the octopus, sloth, and mama grizzly bear. My title was "An octopus, sloth, and mama grizzly bear walk into a bar." I haven't written anything by hand in a long time, and it really reflected in my penmanship. Think Katherine Hepburn on cappuccino in her late eighties, and I'm sure her skill with a pen would be more legible than what I scrawled. I think it was an okay paper, I just hope she can read it. Even though I was far enough away from the "feedbag row", it was still very audible as the room was so quiet. I can imagine the title of some of those future essays: "How to shiv an English professor with a Red Hot Riblet."

Algebra:

Today we had a quiz. I have absolutely no confidence in what I turned in. The quiz was at the end of the class, and long after we were assaulted with review from Chapter 2. Whereas, last week, I was able to keep up with the problems, today, she threw all sorts of hypothetical curveballs our way. Great, confuse me before a quiz. I guess the main problem is I'm still waiting on my Algebra book to show up from Amazon, so I haven't been able to do any homework. When I got home from school, it had finally arrived, and I played catch up for the next three hours at home. I called my mathematically-degreed sister to help with one problemI better go wine shopping for this teacher, and myself, pretty soon.

Oral Comm:

This class was great in the fact that she let us go a half-hour early. Our professor is still struggling with Leviticus's name, calling him Leveculi today. Damn pagans! She is a give-a-way type of instructor, as she informed us that anything written on the board would be on a test. This I can handle. The presentations are going to be the challenge.

Media:

The professor is still touring... woo-hoo!
