graffiti_marinaI am so over school. It’ll be a short entry because I’m trying not to have any work by tomorrow but we all know by now that it won’t happen. Finished American Lit and Cyberlaw at the same time last week and I felt half the world roll off my shoulders. I almost didn’t turn my final paper in until I posted a FB post complaning and Armanda asked me some questions that got me kicked into high gear. I turned in a relatively short paper about security in with only a few hours to spare as well as an outline that hadn’t been started and I had the entire 8 weeks to do so lol. My dumbass professor gave me a zero because I still hadn’t turned it in yet but it wasn’t late! He specifically had in the classroom that it could be turned in by midnight that day! I messaged him telling him that then also asked when was he going to finish grading our assignments because he kept skipping grading in-between assignments (who does that?! That takes forever!) I have a pretty poor impression of him already….but in the end, a half assed final assignment got me a C BUT my half-assed paper and outline both got A’s!! I got an A- in the class overall! Surprising because I was almost positive that I would get a B-/C+ just because out of all my assignments I only got a 100 on two of them and one of them shouldn’t really count because it was an introduction post. Gwaad I hate school and it really sucks doing it online. Now I’m trucking halfway through my Information Assurance class already and once again I have another 10-15 page paper WTF. I’m just gonna take some sites from work and copy them. And they don’t show up on a regular search because all those sites are protected. I have reached my I don’t give a crap anymore mode. Once this is done (it even goes through my birthday sad face) I won’t be doing any more school until I get done with this promotion studying. A lot of things depend on it.
The West Texas Fair starts this week! Well….technically it’ll be near the end of the week. I’ll only be able to enjoy one day of it because I’ll be in Dallas during that weekend and then Hawaii the entire time it goes on. Haha, I’m looking forward to it because it’s closer. Then Saturday I head to Dallas and head out to the islands on Sunday. It’s coming so much closer it’s ridiculous! In a good way 🙂
Felt like editing this entry because of an article I found at work and felt like writing about it. But it was about fast food workers going on strike because they want the minimum wage to go up. I kind of agree since it’s almost impossible to get enough hours working full-time. For the people who are trying hard that isn’t enough money to live off on. But I was mainly wanting to write about it because the article interviewed one 20 year old in NY who had her child and baby-daddy living with her who was UNEMPLOYED. She lived off of public assistance or whatever it’s called but that fact that her boyfriend is living there (let me write in caps again) UNEMPLOYED. It’d be one thing if he was trying but shit if she can get a job at McDonald’s, then why can’t he?????????? If ANYTHING, he should be the one working at McDonald’s and not her. I know there’s not enough information in the article to know what’s going on but honestly….do we need to? We all know he isn’t doing anything and she’s letting him live off of her.
Well, last night I went to bed pretty late and like always my son woke me up three different times. I didn’t even bother to get up to work out. I’ll do it tomorrow. I got my test and my outline done. Now I have to do a little research for references, my post and weekly assignment. Geez it’s already September! And I’m glad this week will kind of be short since we have tomorrow off!
