Long update…School related stuff…

The catching up thing…Once more.

So stressed right now…I would wish for the end of the semester, but I’m not sure that is going to be any comfort, what with Summer classes…But…I shall get one with the story of updateness.

Storytelling: Is done. *smiles*
I got a B+ on the last in class presentation, which was last Wednesday. It’s the same story (Flutterby) that I did for my final. 
Last Saturday was the final…A story told in public. I’m still waiting for my official review…But the unofficial one was pretty good…Considering my professor told me that I rocked.
I made these memory book things for the class…So they could have classmates sign them and whatnot. I got 11 signatures…10 from classmates, one from my professor.
From my Professor:
“You are inarguably the most creative, imaginative, and innovative student I’ve ever had the pleasure to teach. The beauty of this? These are natural abilities; they can’t be taught. They are the abilities that are going to make you a remarkable teacher. I am so proud of how far you’ve come in this class, in particular, but I’m noticing that growth and progress in all classes, Jenn. You’re on a good path — and it’s rewarding to watch you develop into someone even more impressive than today. You rock ——– Kurt B.”

I think I did a pretty good job of impressing most of my class at the final. *smiles*

ENG216: Is done…*sigh*
*shakes head* I don’t know.
I got my 14 page paper back today. I got a B. I’m happy with it.
The final was tonight…*sigh* I am fairly certain I bombed it. I was wishy-washy in the multiple guess section…I was guessing like crazy in the match the author/title to the selection section…& the practical part…Where we had to use what we learned an analyze a story…My brain went completely blank. I wanted to cry. I told him when I handed it in that I blanked, and that it wasn’t any good. He told me I always say that…& Matt, who was getting ready to leave the same time, said “She’s her own worst critic,” to which I cheerily replied, “I am.” But in this instance…I’m fairy certain I’m right.

World Lit: 8 page paper due @ midnight…He’ll be getting a 4 ½ page one, unless something miraculous happens. I just can’t pull anything more out of wherever it comes from. & I feel awful about it…Want to cry about it…But…*shrugs* I can’t seem to help it.
I had to go dig through the burnable garbage to find the articles I’d used for sources, as I had managed to throw them out prior to making my works cited page. This paper was suppose to be ‘easy’ compared to my 14 page one…Nope.
Most likely have another quiz tomorrow…Despite hating the book we are reading, I’ve gotten the full 30 points on the two quizzes over it so far…We’ll see about tomorrows. Of all the quizzes I’ve either gotten 30s or missed one problem and gotten 27s. He’ll drop the lowest one…So unless I do worse on this last quiz, one of the 27s will be getting dropped.
Final is a week from tomorrow. It’ll probably be the same set up as the last one…Which I didn’t do as bad as I was expecting the last time…So who knows.

Math: I will be so glad to see it go.
We had our last group theme today…Measured the clock tower @ NMC. Not an accurate measurement…We are guessing it’s around 40 foot tall when all is said and done.
Xylophone presentation is Wednesday. [Turned in my rubbish paper & 3rd grade hearing/ear lecture today…& an extra ‘prepare/reflect’ as she said we could for extra points, and I figured I was going to need all the points I could get.]
I’m not sure what we are going to be doing Friday…The 4th test & 4th portfolio are next Monday stuff…I need to get my portfolio finished.
Then a week from Wednesday I have to turn in my final exam…Have a lot of work left to do on it too.

So…Grand Valley classes end this week…NMC classes end the 1st week of May.
Grand Valley classes start back up the 2nd week of May…Blah. No rest.

Luckily tho…Maybe…We’ll see…The one class I had changed from a lecture class to a hybrid…Meaning part lecture, mostly online. Not liking he dealing with an online class again…But liking the not having to drive to TC 4 days a week, and not having to be there until 9:50 @ night on Thursdays.
Instead…I’ll be there Mon.-Wed. 3-6:20 [Mon & Wed is Teaching Writing…Tuesday is Language Arts for Teachers]…All the same teacher, so hopefully she’s not too bad to deal with. My third class, Intro to Learning & Assessment, will only be meeting 3 times throughout the semester. On Tuesday mornings.
&&…Mon & Wed classes end @ the end of June.

I slept like crap last night…Tossed @ turned…It was after 1:30 I think by the time I fell asleep. Mum texted me at 6:30 this morning! O.o Ug…All she had to do was wait half a bloody hour. I tried to get back to sleep, for that last half hour…Think I finally got there when the alarm clock went off.

Sleep soon…*nods* I much need it…Not thinking it’s going to work well.
