Yesterday my chem teacher posted the mid term grades. When I took it b4 spring break I KNEW I had an high B or an A. Both neither was the case. When I asked 2 of my classmates if they checked their grades, they said the same thing. I think something was up with that test. There couldn't have been multiple people confident in that easy test and not pass with a high mark. The class average for the midterm was a 60.7% that is absurd! I am trying not to let that discourage me.
I took a test in my speech class yesterday *welcome back from spring break!* and since I finished early and Dr. Vodka's class didn't start for another 45 minutes, I wondered around the Language and Theater building. In the lobby there was a guy spitting poetry. He had a nice lil crowd so I joined in. Now I love people who have literary talent, novelist, poets, journalist, whomever because I never been that good at writing or finding the right words to explain something properly. So anyways, I listened to this guy and his delivery of his poems were that spoken word style. He had a really nice flow to him. But when I listened to what he was saying, it didn't make since....at least to me. When he would finish a piece some of his crowd would snap their fingers and tell him how deep that was. But IMO it wasn't all that deep, kinda sounded like a bunch of hot air delivered so smoothly it sounded like it was deep! After the 2nd poem I left. I laughed at all these folks blowing this man's head up talking about a bunch of nothing. Then again, maybe he was just to deep for me and it was me with the problem.
Well according to the emails this morning, the cousins trip is back on. Another cousin from the group is getting married next year. This one has been dating her man forEVER so it's more like an "it's about time" rather than my other cousins "What the *bleep*". I think we are going to end up somewhere in the states, which is okay with me. I really don't want to go on this trip cuz the last thing I want is to hear all about the new boyfriends and fiances all week long! It took alcohol to calm my nerves from beating them down last year!
If I don't do the cousins trip, me, one of my girlfriends, and our youngin's may be in FL for my birthday. Nothing is set in stone yet but it would be nice to at least say that I have been to Disney and I know Pooka would be in heaven. Most the adults I know say it's not what it's cracked up to be, but I still would like to go, just to say that I have been. Shoot, seems like everyone I know is having a birthday. Between family, friends, my friends children, co-workers, and online folk, I stay in the card store! So for mine I gotta do something special for me.

don't you hate it when you expect one grade and get something worst? i HATE that.
and i DEFINITELY hate cats who spew on about nothing but think cuz they used a couple of big words, tossed in 'cipher' here and there like they're 5% nation or nation of islam, they're suddenly talking about something that's deep and thought-provoking.
i've found that alot in the atl area. there are alot of spoken word joints here and i'm beginning to get more and more cynical about what i'm hearing cuz all i seem to hear are these cats who do all of this verbal manipulation to words, twisting them so they make no sense to me.
i want THE REAL folks! i don't hear enough of that kind of poetry anymore. i think maybe it's cuz poetry slams have gotten so large that folk have become too stylized with both the content and the delivery, focusing on winning as opposed to sharing, you know?
oh, and i hope you get to take your trip to florida! i want to plan a trip to vegas or something this year. i haven't been on a trip with my girlfriends EVER.
oooh honey...you aint lying about these deep poets and performers, basically remixing childhood nursery rhymes and songs on the radio. anyhoos, go to disney, have fun (even tho most adults are right) its crowded and the lines are ridiculous and EX-PEN-SIVE but its the experince you want, so have fun!!
The teacher could have given all of you a curve if the average was that low.
Nikki, you are right about that in the ATL...some of the artists don't make any sense....when they finish I'm more confused than amused. That is why I was on Hiatus until I found Indigo Ink... As a spoken word artist/writer I hate to hear them spit trash and then peddle a chap book like I want a copy of that trash. *snicker*
i hated chemistry as much as I hated physics...too hard for me.
Blogger don't like me today!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Nikki - I am glad you understand bout dem poets! I can make a bunch of nothing sound good! LOL
MissA - I know it's pricey, but I gotta get my Pooka to Disney while she is still young! LOL
Mel - Girl you don't know the HALF!
GQ - Dr. Shorty don't do curves :-(
MzA - them same peddlers maybe the one's who buy Indigo Ink! LOL
Spc - Physics is next fall and spring! YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY! LOL I regrett dropping it 2 years ago, I really do.....
I hated Chemistry! Oh not to mention the fact that it was at 7am on Mon, Weds, and Fridays!
I agree that the professor could curve the grades, especially base on the class avg. That avg shows that some thing is not right!
Good in the class girl!
