Okay, sorry I missed a couple of days. My algebra book finally arrived, and I had to play a lot of catch up with homework.
English:
Today, our rough drafts of our example essay were due. My paper was about my experience writing an essay in 1990 and 2010.
We broke into small groups, and the other two peer papers were about kid and gangs and becoming a teenage mom. Once we filled out our peer review sheets, we could leave. My peers took the entire class to read all four pages and review my paper. I made the mistake of opening my water bottle in class, and found out that it still contained vodka from last night. So, I should explain last night, now. I had seen on Alton Brown, that you can pour vodka through a water filter a few times, and that it would improve the flavor. So, I tried this "experiment", and it really works. I flushed my filter with water after I drained the vodka out of it, and then refilled it. I guess it's going to require a few more filter flushings, or I'm going to take Mr. & Mrs. T Rich and Spicy Bloody Mary Mix to English.
Algebra:
Today was our first test. I had studied for it like a crazy person, so I'm hoping for a good grade. My teacher informed me that I was not on her electronic roster, and would need to go to admissions to find out why. Great, I never even needed to be in that class! So after the test, and twenty minutes waiting in line at admissions, I found out it all came down to a clerical typo, and I was where I need to be.
Oral Comm:
We had our first test in this class, too. Easy and all definitions, and we were set free, when we were done. THis class gets cut early quite a bit. I like that aspect of it.
Media:
Our professor is back on tour with her play, so no class today, again. I ended up getting 9 out of 10 points on my paper comparing THe Daily Show and NBC Nightly News, because I didn't have my name at the top. Our next paper topic is "How people view you on your perceived race". We need 2 sources, 1 being a hardcopy, and work cited MLA form... oh, and NO wikipedia! It's great she even has to state that.

No wikipedia, but can you use urbandictionary? It's the anything goes wikipedia. Just look up white girl and see what happens.
ReplyDeleteAnd no fair bribing your peers with vodka.
