rant
so my grade finally was posted for NSAC, and i got a B. I know that a B is not a bad grade, but it makes me mad that I got one 1) because it was a 2 credit class that met 4 hours a week and we had a lot of outside homework, so I worked my ass off for it, 2) because I think that our whole class should have gotten As just for taking a year long advertising competition that we should do pretty well in, and 3) because I've only gotten less than a B+ 3 times and they were all classes I hated! I never missed this class and, more often than not, enjoyed doing the work in it!
So, I emailed my teacher and asked to set up a time to meet and discuss his grading expectations, since I didn't get them. Post-freshman year, i've been doing well in school and trying to get my gpa up to graduate with honors despite failing art history and and getting a c+ in my architecture class that i should have dropped.
Yeah, I'm whiney for wanting to discuss my B with him, but I think I got a B more on the basis that I wasn't one of his favorite students and that I'm not a business student, so I figure why not talk to him now so I can at least try and get a better grade for this next term when it's a 4 credit class (that I'll probably be doing 8 credits worth of work for).
end rant.
Tonight Jake and I are going over to his boss's house for dinner and a brainstorming session for a new name for the tea shop. I'm excited. Hopefully someone will think of a really good/cool name, and then we can start doing a cool new identity!
I've had the whole office to myself today. Everyone else left around lunch time to have a 2007 strategy meeting for the business. I've been working on the stationary package for a new home show coming up this spring. I think it looks pretty good. It will be a good portfolio piece too.
I'm feeling a little bit better this afternoon. My chest hurts from coughing so much I think. I've been drinking a lot of "Immuni fizz" packets and eating lots of fruits and veggies. Hopefully this is the last time I'll be sick for awhile. I don't think I've been this sick since last winter.
Gotta go.
