And the Grade Was....

For my accounting test, not a good one, even when the instructor based it on a 10 point scale of the grades like 100-90 is an A, so forth and so on. I was one point from a very low C if I'm calculating it right. The good news is that he will allow us to take the test over if we feel as though it wasn't our best work and that grade can replace the one we got on this test. So I am debating about it. The highest I am allowed to make on it is a 75, so that would be a B. I guess I should go ahead and try to get a better grade on it. I hate falling below a C on things when I know the information. Just looking back through the test it was mostly a few points here and there from where I may have switched things around and the multiple choice hurt me too. It was mainly on definitions kind of. So Monday is when I can take it over, then there is another test that is due at the end of Tuesday night that I have to take for my Accounting class. So that means I have to do a ton of studying this weekend.

I had a take home test and a in class test in my statistics class. We were able to use our notes and textbooks for the take home text and then notes for the in class text. I get the jist of figuring out the problems that are given to me, but when it comes to explaining what it all means, then forget about. So I know there will be points off of that part that needed explaining... sigh. I have one more test for Accounting and then an exam for that class, then it will be on to Immediate Accounting I. At least I won't have to worry about buying anymore textbooks for the next few accounting classes since they will be using the same book.

Another draft essay is due today for my HP: History 101 class in which I finished doing not to long ago. My whole intention was to do it bit by bit, but I didn't know which essay question to do, then didn't really know how to approach and when trying to do it late, late last night.. conflict aroused about so I put it off until this morning. Did I mention, I don't like to write papers... lol. Comprehending literature is not my thing. Give me a few math problems or some science/chemistry questions and I will work that out to death. lol.

It's almost TGIF... woohoo.

First Draft Essay Due

And I haven't even started. It's due on Thursday, but I don't know what I really need to write other than the basic answers to the questions that I'm suppose to answer. I hate when I can't grasp something really well in order to write about it, especially in something that I'm not familiar with or have not that much interest in. I guess it's going to be a long day and a half to get this done. A 2 page essay, in general 250 words per page as the instructor says all it is, isn't easy if it's not that much understood. But since it's only a draft, then I guess I will write what I think the answer may be and see what pointers I can get from him and my peers.

Writing Papers and Essay... Blah

The university that I am in takes writing as one of the main focuses and I'm not the type of person that like to write essays, papers, etc., but I know that I have to get used to them. In my Medieval class I have a 2 page essay, in draft form, that is due about the end of next week. Even though I don't mind writing out short sentences or a short form of trying to explain things in writing if need to be, but when it comes to things like this, I get a mental block. I start to think about in all possibilites of how I need to write it, will it come across differently then the way I'm trying to write it, will it sound stupid. Something as just writing a blog, I really don't care as to who reads it, whether they get it or not, but something that you are going to get critiqued for and graded at the end, it gets me a bit tensed.

In this class, the essay is just going to be a continuance of what we will be discussing in class and I assume, how we process it into our own ideas and whatnot. And also, my peers will be having a glance at it as well which I already feel if I would be doing this correctly or not and I don't know what the topic is for our first draft essay.... writing is definitely not my best skill in things like this.
