homework
I did not do my homework. No, I wasn't too busy or it wasn't too hard - I just refused to do it. I sat there feeling bitter, so I said screw it.
It's a slippery slope, I fear. Since I currently have a 99% in the class, I can get about an 81% on everything else from now on and still get an A. And it's not hard to get B's in there - I see all sorts of people who have no clue getting B's.
I fear my students of Sierra rubbed off on me. So this is what it's like, to not do homework. Hm. Wonder if I look different somehow.
The fun is gone. I have other things to do in the evenings. Sigh. Seven more days. At least the room is well air-conditioned - it's freakin hot out there. Blah. So I'm still going to class - though I fear skipping might be my next step.

update 7/21: So, I got my test back last night. How does it reflect in my grade when I stop participating? I got 119%. Which frustrates me because when I really understand it, I do ok, and I do better when I don't and just regurgitate without "getting" it? Then I should do great on the practice test tonight, not knowing jack. And it also frustrates me because 21 points of that were identifying who said what quotes. Of course I had a good chance at identifying Booker T. Washington, Helen Keller, and Benjamin Franklin - I'm well-read and over-educated. Doesn't help me for crap with math. Whatever. Five more days of class. It's surely not the first time that education has interfered with my learning.

*gasp* Look at you! Not doing homework!!! You're losing your nerdiness! So not okay! Heh heh...j/k j/k...^_^ It must be your calculus instructor...not appreciating about what you truly are capable of in that class and playing with a grade that would truly reflect your mind. ^_^
He calls you "my dear"??? I've never had a professor call me that. WHY does he fell compelled to call you that???
MEGA-P was so much fun!!! And your pictures are great! I missed Mandy! Did Christine and her "fake, hired" husband show up? ^_^
I'm in a nice, a/c'ed house too. Only that the vent in my particular room doesn't work as well, so when it's hot, it's hot in my room, and when it's cold, it's cold in my room. That's why I have one of those little portable heaters, and then a bigger, less portable tank thing where you fill it with water and turn it on to fan and cool the room. Hmm. I have one of those dustbuster vacuum cleaners in there too. I have too many appliances in my room!!
