Spending a month of many agonizing hours in front of my computer netted me a grade of 84% on a 22 page paper for a class that covered the Weimar period of German history. The fact that he gave me a percentage grade on a writing assignment speaks volumes about this professor. Obviously, I am not pleased. Choice selections from the professor's 2 ( Read more... ) -

Jag mår jättedåligt! Idag är en dag som koskit. Jag är så trött och missmodig och betryckt. Jag hatar mitt liv. Ännu svenska var illa. Och nu måste jag skriva och arbeta på saker som inte är interessanta. Fan! -

I got up, performed my surveillance activities on my students (checking their online homework) and got ready to leave. It wasn't until 9:30 that I got around to brewing my coffee, knowing that I ( Read more... ) -
