First week of class wrapped up, and I am so TIRED. We had THREE tests today, and received our first weekly average. Mine is a B, but it was almost pulled down to a C+. The instructor asked us yesterday to find out the name of a Power Point document (for example, the name of a Word document is Document 1), and to tell her the answer in the morning before the test. I was so busy last night, I didn't even have time to go on the computer. So when it came time to give the answer, I didn't go up to tell her anything, because I didn't do the assignment. Well, almost everyone in the class went up to give answers, even getting the answer from a neighbor or overhearing someone else give the answer, and those that went up wound up getting a PERFECT SCORE, an "A", for today's test, no matter what their score was! I was so HURT! And when confronted by the instructor on why I didn't come up to receive a free A, I simply told her that I am not like that; if I didn't do the assignment, I am not going to cheat. So I wound up making a solid D on my test today, which brought my average down from an 86 to a 79, but she then gave the entire class an open book test, to which I scored an 87, which helped me to maintain my B average. I know the next time she issues a homework assignment, though, I'm going to do it, no matter HOW busy I am!
I'm also disgusted with that D because I studied everything that lady told us to study. But she worded the questions in a way that if you weren't paying close attention, you would select the wrong answer. She puts it as her way of making us "think." When you've been up with three little girls since 6:30 this morning, you don't have the strength to "think!" I mean, the whole class didn't do well on that test today, many of us made the same mistakes, but those that did the homework walked away with A's! Even my husband made a D on his test, but scored an A on the test because of the homework!GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
I really need to get some rest. I have a full day of house cleaning and laundry tomorrow. I may not write another entry until Monday, so I will holler at y'all later. Bye!!!!!

Don't beat yourself up girl. You have a full time job as a mother and that is where you need the highest grade.
Hang in there!

grrr....reminds me of a time an instructor told us to read the whole exam before answering any of hte questions....those who did found the last question to say, now that you have read the exam and not answered the questions, you have recieved an A. Those of you who answered the questions, you flunked!
