Roxy rocks!

Okay, I'm having cocoa after studying since this morning.

I'm also officially irritated now.

So the TA sends me an email indicating that he has two of my labs which were not in the correct format, with significant components missing and I need to redo and get them to him ASAP so he can turn the grades in or the ones he's giving me otherwise will stand. (Grrr......)

So I wrote back asking 1)Which SPECIFIC components?
2) When exactly is it that they need to be back to him?

(I should have also asked 3) How the hell am I going to get them to you as you've left for the break?)

I got back a two sentence reply. The guidelines/rubric are posted on the website. He has to turn them in Friday.

Which translates to "figure it out for yourself"
If I knew what was wrong I would have fixed it BEFORE I handed it in, now wouldn't I?



Fuck this shit.

I forwarded everything to just before the last comment to the prof (I'll save that last bit for tomorrow or something when I hear back from him). I expressed my displeasure at suddenly having three labs to rewrite extensively with three finals this week and no specific deadline for the rewrite, and while we're at it I want to see about the last few questions on the exam, since I thought I understood the material and would have sworn I nailed the last question which is worth 6 points and would have brought my grade from a 64 to a 70. (Since I've had time to look over the exam and say "wha..?".)



I want to learn from my mistakes, not just know I got something wrong.

But everybody here is shiny and ah lurves you alls!

PS: I started a thread housing a neat video from my school. I'll stick it in here so you don't have to go hunt it down. (It would be pretty awesome if this went viral because it's well done and explains some complex concepts fairly simply and concisely.)

Rosie it's bound to get better right? My brother in law says it totally gets better ( like 6 months after med school)

Six months after med school you're in the middle of your first year as a Resident, right? How can that be better?! (Okay you've probably passed all your exams by then, but still...)

After you've paid off Med School. THAT'S when it probably gets better right?

I'll be paying mine off for the next three or four years....if I still have a job next year.


But in happier news - I know how to make Cosmos now and I have the ingredients and shaker to prove it.

LOL Navy I'll cover you while the mob forms...run!!!!!

HUGS Rosie and Avery.... eventually it all gets paid off and then at least you guys have a decent chance of making real money
Think of me. I have 4, count them 4 degrees and I make less than the guy managing Mc Donalds.( plus I work about the same number of hours as a doctor or lawyer only I get paid about 1/4 as much for the same educational level.

Sorry it's been a really crap day. Wish I could have a real drink, but I will settle for a virtual whiskey.

Just because something can't be explained doesn't mean it becomes yours.
