Mar. 6th, 2004 03:02 amSocial Deviance was terribly boring today. Well, technically yesterday. Friday, at any rate. No arguments about homosexuality and no desire for me to yell at people and come out at them in anger at their ignorance, like I wanted to on Wednesday morning.
Ah, well.
Spent the majority of my Quebec Society class worrying about the exam, which he handed back at the end of the class. Thomas, the Irish guy with an unfortunate speech impediment (pronounces all his Rs as Ws) told me he got his result before I got to class, after speaking to the teacher, and was baffled about having gotten a B+. This girl (Jessica? I have no idea.) and I were kind of panicking, though. Especially at the end when he said he doesn't do averages, but if he had to guess, it would be very low. The highest mark was a B+.
I was worried.
And then he started talking about some of the things he'd read in our papers.
People were saying that Robert Bourassa was, in fact, Henri Bourassa. That he was the leader of the Parti Québecois, not the Liberals, and that he had brought in Bill 101, not Bill 178. These are all no-brainers to anyone who's:
a) spent any time in Quebec and looked at the nationalist issue,
b) spent ANY TIME IN CLASS,
c) done ANY of the readings.
Upon hearing these things, I felt much better, because hey, at least I knew more than some twinkies.
At the end of class, he called people's names and folded over their exams and handed them back.
He called me (and aw, how cute, he thinks I'm francophone. I have a really bilingual real name [because my parents were smart] and he pronounced my name in French) and I got my paper and went back to my seat to finish packing up my computer and stuff, and I just didn't want to unfold it.
I looked at Thomas (Jessica or whoever was already gone) and I'm like "I don't wanna look!"
He urged me to and I did.
C+.
If you'll recall, I was praying for a C. A C+ is more than I expected, probably more than I deserve, but he seemed to like what I had to say about the Quebec Model, which garnered me a couple of marks.
Whew.
I'm not thrilled with it, because it's the equivalent of a 67% (actually, 66.6% rounded up), but I'll take it, especially when you look at the other things I had going on (Social Deviance midterm right before it, very little sleep, it was my first set of midterms in yeeeeeears).
I'm going to do a paper for this class to bring my grade up, though, which will not be fun. Not going to be taking any more polisci or any history type courses, that's for dang sure.
Anyways, near as I can figure, my GPA is 3.08 right now, which isn't so bad, if I do say so myself.
In other news, I was an idiot while trying to network my computers and accidentally left my desktop's C drive as shared without passwords, so I'm currently trying to rid myself of the Opaserv Worm. Wheeee. Yay for a handy little util from Symantec that is currently scanning, well, all my hard drives, it looks like. This might take a while.
Ah, well.
