Whew! It's the first day of summer vacation and I'm already feeling more relaxed. I feel like I have just been going non-stop for the past week. I turned in my final project for my master's class and the professor emailed me saying that I had "numerous" errors and that he would give me time to revise. That bummed me out because I really felt that I was understanding grammar better. Then when I saw what he called "numerous" I realized that he was just nit-picking me to death( there were three and my compound and extremely complex sentence containing three semicolons, a colon and five comas was perfect.) He also implied that my originality was in question, which did not make me happy. Don't fret, World. I sent it back with corrected nit-picks and added notation on exactly where my ideas, games, activities, worksheets, came from. I told him this wasn't so much to give credit to the few websites and people, like my mom, who helped with ideas, but to assure him that the rest of the work was my OWN. I think if it is within ones capacity to question the work of others, perhaps one should just require references from the start. It would go a long way to weed out the not-so-serious students and take away the guessing games. But what do I know? Either way, I believe I earned an A. Now I play the waiting game to see if he agrees.
Today is LAUNDRY DAY!! We have a trip coming up a few days, I'm very excited to road-trip again, but damn it do I need some clean underwear!
Have a great Thursday, World!
