28 Degrees, Still No Snow


Just thought I'd post a little update. There isn't much new news in my life. I am busy in school, as usual, and I don't commit enough time to studying. I should have a book open right now, but look what I'm doing. I haven't won a hockey game in a while. Thursday I will be playing with the club team, so there is a pretty good chance we'll win.

I've been taking a lot of midterms recently. I had a test in Chem Scored a whopping 67%. That curved out to a 88% as the class high was a 75.5%. The professor doesn't see having a class high of 75.5% as a problem. He says that's normal for a class like this one. I say there's some fixing that could be done. Maybe the test is a little too hard? Or maybe the class isn't receiving the high quality edumacation that we're paying top dollar for. Not that the students are really paying that much, but I hear the college eats a pretty big % of the State budget. Can't we get some quality instruction?

My actual opinion on this issue is that there is a time honored tradition among professors to make science classes much more difficult than necessary. This is often true for math classes also, but math is on the science side of the house. This strategy appears to be dying in many places, but that hasn't reached Professor F. yet. "The lashings will continue until morale improves."

So this is what I am dealt, and this is what I will deal with. I still have like an 85% in the class, so I'm not doing too badly.

I've been talking at a prior service recruiter. They finally got the anti-terrorism unit going up here. He's supposed to be scheduling a physical for me so I can see if I'm eligible to join. I think it would be great to put the uniform back on. I miss it.
