Day 9 o' school

English:

My classmates are starting to grow on me like bread mold.
Our instructor left our reading assignment handout in her office.
When she left to go get them, one of the younger ones announced that she had candy for sale.
The guy next to her asked if her kid was selling it for school, and she said she was selling it for her wedding.
So, a line of about seven form to buy snickers bars in the back of the class.
Our instructor had returned, when she was on her 4th transaction, and started passing out our assignment.
She teacher-glared at the last little candy girl, who actually said to her, "What, I can't do that?"
She firmly told her to sit down.
We read, "The DIscus Thrower" by Richard Selzer, which was really hard to digest, as it was about a patient in the final stages of dying. I don't think I blinked once, just so I could keep my eyes good and dry.
Later in the class, we broke into groups to do a narrative dialogue.
My partner and I got Peter Pumpkin Eater and Wife. That was another little slice, as I would sometimes call Jason that when I was angry at him. The only nice thing about that class was when one of the chip girls got a candy bar wrapper stuck to her shoe, when we were leaving.

Algebra:

We had to turn in our take home quiz today. The whole class was passing around each other's test to see if we even came close to our answers. It's weirdly a little reassuring to see so many people struggling. We have another quiz tomorrow, and I'd rather put tacks in my gums than take it. Two words:story problems. No one speaks that way. NO ONE!

Oral Comm:

Today we had our group presentation. It was pretty fun, and got lots of giggles. I think ours was pretty well received. Our instructor seemed pretty pleased, and said it was creative. Next class is just review for another test. Ya-hey.

Media:

We got our perceived racism papers back, and I got a "B". Not sure why, there weren't any comments. "B"'s are all that bad, but I think that is the best I'm going to be able to write. She had quoted my paper in class too, so it couldn't have been all that awful. I'll talk to her about it tomorrow, but man, I wonder what it takes to get an A.
