Soooo...

Have a test wednesday in Ethics. I have been considerably worse at going to class since the first test (which I got an A- on) so I will be going to the test review tomorrow evening. Although, a brief look at the study guide does seem to put me in an OK place... still better safe than sorry :x If I can manage an A average (which is the grade I want in the class) I get to skip the final :) There are 3 tests and one retake day, so if I can get good grades on all the tests (he calls them quizzes, I'm sorry but NO quiz is worth 33% of your grade) then I won't have to go to the retake day :)

I love that class though - the teacher told us a story the other day about why he doesn't make fun of people for being late. He said there was this one girl who was always 10-15 minutes late for his class and she'd come in with her little dunkin donuts coffee and bag of donuts (or a bagel or whatever) and there would never be any open aisle seats so she'd have to kind of stumble over tons of people to get to one of the seats in the middle of the row (how dumb is it that this always happens :p) etc etc etc. Anyway she did that EVERY day. He used to joke about how she couldn't manage to get up in time for his class after partying all night or something, blahblahblah. Finally the first test comes along and it is in the evening and she says she cannot take the test in the evening. So the teacher is like "haha so why not? have a party that night?" And then she goes off into this big explanation of having to take her son to practice (or whatever) in the evenings and then she has to work from midnight to 8am in the emergency room in springfield (she is a nurse) and that is why she is always late to class, because she has to rush straight to class from work and doesn't even have time to make breakfast, etc etc etc.... it was really funny to hear him talk about it and how terrible he felt after making fun of her for so long :P

My 3rd project in my video class is due next week, so this week is probably going to be a busy one with staying in the lab in the evenings and everything :( I also need to get some modeling done.

Chris has been playing Final Fantasy 12 and it makes me want to play :( I have to keep myself from watching him too much because I don't want the game to get spoiled for me!

I finished the 2nd Diablo book (The Black Road) and started the 3rd one (City of Darkness, or something like that). The second one was... weird. The writing was somewhat mediocre :/ I liked the story but I thought it was VERY strange how they kept bringing up the main character's abusive father in so many weird ways. Toward the end it got a lot better but the beginning was a little awkward ^^; The third book is by Richard Knaak and it has been great so far :)

Regardless, I really wish I didn't lose Kushiel's Avatar, because out of ANY book out there, that's the one I wish I was reading right now :(

In WoW, I got Shealyn to level 26 (yay pally power) and I've been having a lot of fun playing with Kate. Sascha is halfway to 39 (can't wait to ride my ram mount).

I really don't want there to be class tomorrow :( boo to school.

You're so crazy in WoW though! OMFG XDD

You always gather up like five or more enemies and I turn around and see this little 25 pally dwarf taking on like 6 lvl 27 raptors and am like OMFG *run* *heal* *hammer!!*

Haha, it's really funny anyway. <3

You have no idea how happy I am that WoW is so social, it really does make my day better sometimes. Oddly enough.

I think it's 'cause I'm so used to classes that can kill things faster than pallies XD so my way to uhhh "spice things up" is to run in and take on a whole lot of them :D I was killing groups of 4-5 gnolls in the wetlands yesterday XD

Amusing story about the late student. I'm surprised she didn't TELL him the situation sooner. That goes miles to help a professor's opinion about the student, which does affect how we treat them and their eventual grade even when we try not to.

Yeah, that surprises me too! If I had something like that (especially if I'm being made fun of every morning :P) I think I'd have tried to explain sooner than the first test day.

Did he make fun of her in front of the class, or just to himself and his department? If in front of the student/class, that's kinda inappropriate, depending on how he went about it. Perhaps he embarassed her too much for her to say anything.
