WOOHOO BIOLOGY!

I GOT INTO THE BIOLOGY CLASS!

Exclamation points!!! Smiley faces :-) :-) :-)!

I have not yet asked about taking the final exam early. That final is on Thursday, so I'd best be arriving in Japan while the rest of the class is taking the test.

Presuming the final will work out, I am faced with a choice:

- Drop English Writing, taught by a woman whose organizational skills and ability to remain on topic long enough to answer a student's question* both horrify me; OR
- Drop Spanish, taught by a teacher I like, but late in the evenings.

I've got e-mail out to the Spanish teacher asking to switch to her afternoon section. If that is possible, there's no contest. I have attended exactly one English writing class and already I dread it.

That's excellent news about Bio! Things seem to be working out wonderfully. I hope you are bale to switch to the Spanish section you need, because the English class sounds awful. I realized quite awhile ago I just couldn't deal with professors like that! Unfortunately, I realized it after I was out of school. :)

I guess there's an advantage to starting over in middle age! I don't know myself nearly as well as I wish I did, but I know a whale of a lot more than I did the first time around.

Indeed. They make you go to school when you are so... young. :)

I am amazed when I talk to younger students now and hear them describe the things they have to deal with and put up with and I want to tell them to just put their foot down and make sure it gets changed... and then realize that I put up with the same things back in the day because it just seemed like you should. :)
