I did it ya'll!!!

Morning. First off let me start by saying, I am sorry for the disappearing act or maybe for not providing the posts that I used to frequent (Outfit of the Day, reviews, and all that Jazz). I was in a little funk because of my final paper I had to turn in at school. Like I said prior, I half-assed that whole paper. Carly was my proofreader for the paper and I felt that I was going in the right direction and when she left for work, all hell broke loose. Incomplete sentences and the whole nine. So if you did some shit like that wouldn't you be nervous?

Needless to say when I turned in my paper, it was the day I was supposed to present my project with a PowerPoint presentation. Mind you I went to present with no PowerPoint and just a sheet of recycled paper with the things I wanted to cover. Everyone else had their PowerPoint and I just went to the front of the classroom and began my act. Honestly I think I was someone else. I went up there with a few props and presented nervously. Out of the whole ordeal, I received a grade of 28/30 for my presentation. I followed my professor back to her office to see if I could have a few more hours to complete the paper and she stated that I should give it in so that it can be off my mind. I did as she said but that didn't stop my thoughts. Of course the thoughts I had were all negative. I began to think the worse about how I was going to get kicked out of school and not be able to fulfill what I wanted to be in life and started to think of alternate routes. I think these thoughts drained me for the two weeks that followed turning in my paper. The day my paper was due, my professor stated that she would have our grades posted the upcoming week. So my checking of my grade began.

I think I waited that whole entire so I could see my grade, Of course when I went through the motions of checking for my grades, I saw an A- for one of the two courses I took but not the grade for what mattered the most. I kept checking everyday after that just so I could know my status. I was nervous as all get out. I expected to at least get a C but also planned to also take an F in stride because of how bad my paper was. Mind you my last class with the paper due and presentation was April 28th. The other day, Wednesday to be exact, I went to school to take a Comprehensive Exam (this bullshit) and saw my professor. She asked if I saw my grade and wanted to pick up my paper. I shook my head to tell her no and she insisted that I go pick it up. So after the exam, I carried her bag upstairs and walked her to her office. We sat in there for about a minute before she asked me about my grade. I told her I hadn't seen it and she proceeded to turn on her computer. She clicks on my name and I ask her if I received a C. She told me that I did not receive a C in the course however, it was a B. When she told me my grade,I think my knees buckled. I couldn't believe that for an F paper I got a B in the course. That shit blew my mind. She gave me a spiel about how I did on midterms, exams and papers, so even with a half-assed paper I couldn't fail. If all that stuff would've been jacked up, I would have to probably wait until the upcoming year, Spring '12 to go back to school. I think my lesson learned is to be more focused on my work at hand. As much as I hate school right now, I have to ride this thang out. I'm finally in my last semester of being a graduate student. Oh, I did forget to mention that my GPA for the semester is a 3.45 and my overall GPA is a 3.1. I'm a little too hyped.

In that regard, I will however be taking a writing course  for a week to better my writing skills. My professor looked me dead in the eye and told me I should take the course. She went out her way to make sure I could enroll LOL. So at this point you can tell, that I am in dire need of a English tutor.So now I'm officially on Summer vacation. Let the games begin!!!!
