Closer to the finish line...

Great, today is the official end of fall term classes here at Drexel. Next week begins finals...And no I'm not looking forward to that. Some days I wish I was on co-op...no classes, no papers, no exams. I'm majoring in History and Corporate Communications, both of these concentrations require a lot of writing. So over the years I have become somewhat proficient in the art of writing a paper. Well, this term I wasn't really on top of my reading assignments...in my history class we had weekly in class essays and every essay I produced was full of fluff and nonsense. Well, the teacher assigned a term paper, I decided to actually read the information she wanted covered in the paper. I got the paper back, and she said, "It didn't reflect the quality of work she had seen from me throughout the term...so therefore I must not have written the paper. She said the paper reflect too much critical thinking and was too well composed...none of my in class essays looked anything like this paper." WOW!!! Can I get some credit? We had three weeks to write a 4 page, double spaced paper...any high school student could develop that paper and get an A! And I'm a fourth year college student...six months away from graduation! She wants me to write another paper so that she can see if the quality of writing will be consistent in the second paper...dag! This term I've been called a liar and a thief! When is graduation???...because I'm not getting along with the people around here.
