Note to self: not all comments the professor makes are about you

I stayed after class to talk to the professor because he said that he knows students cheated because they either only gave the answers (and not the work) or they included information he never covered in class or THEY SOLVED THE PROBLEMS IN WAYS HE DIDN'T COVER IN CLASS.

Hi, that's me! I solved a few of the problems in ways he didn't cover in class, because frankly, I couldn't understand my notes, so I looked up videos on youtube on how to solve the problems. Well, if it worked and I understood it, I kept that in my head for when the exam came.

I explained that to the professor...or I attempted to before he cut me off and said that he wasn't talking about me because he knows I do the work and that I come to class (he said I was one of his top students which is surprising because I currently have a high C, but I guess he's taking that participation stuff into consideration too), so his comments weren't about me and he didn't want me feeling singled out and didn't want me to get discouraged.

Phew!

I can stop worrying about that and concentrate on this current chapter. We are almost 3 sections in and I'm getting stumped...but not discouraged.

I don't know how that happened, but YAY!

finals done! semester complete! Grades are in!

Intro To Admin Of Justice A
Concepts Of Criminal Law B
Criminal Procedures A
Criminal Evidence A
3.75 GPA

I honestly don't know how I passed the Intro to Admin of Justice class. I didn't do well on the other tests and I absolutely HATED the instructor and how he taught the class. (sadly I have him again in the Spring, but I know how he runs the class so I can be better prepared)

I'm just so glad this semester is over!

I'll do better next time

I've taken the first tests in my 4 classes.

87%, 81%, 80% and 76%.

I got the 76% because the instructor gave everyone in the class 4 extra points, otherwise, I'd have 68%. I'm not pleased with this at all. I know there's 3 or 4 other tests in the class, but I just don't like/can't follow how the instructor does the lecture (he basically re-reads the book in between telling real life stories and insulting people in the class). I'm going to have to do extra credit because I want to pass the class with a B, though for transferring, a C is acceptable.

The other 3 classes are much better because we have a workbook that we fill out as the lecture goes - we're basically writing our own textbook for the class.

Also, today in my second class 2 people were supposed to bring cookies and what do you know...they weren't in class! The teacher said on Tuesday we need to "narc on them" and he'd take care of the rest. Also next Tuesday another girl is supposed to bring cookies and next Thursday another guy is supposed to bring cookies. We'll see if they remember. LOL

Right now I'm in the campus computer lab charging my phone and using the computer. Once my phone is charged, I'll be heading home with a stop at storage. I sold a couple of textbooks from when I was taking classes with ICDC. One book I had in my room and the other I hope is in storage or I'll have to refund the girl her money (and she started classes on October 7).

In more enjoyable news...I've been writing nearly every day this month. Not thousands of words or anything, but like 250-400 words on a good day. On a really good day I can do 500-700 words. Last week I did nearly 1000 words. I wish all these words were going towards a fic I can post soon, but it's for a big bang that won't start posting until FEBRUARY! Isn't that ridiculous?! I'm probably like 2000 words from finishing it, and I'll have to sit on the fic for 5 months! I need to remember to message the mod and ask if there was a way to move the posting date up if a majority of the writers are finished so that artist can claim a fic to do art and we can get this big bang moving along.
