Breaktime!

What a week. I need a break. It's been a...well, horrible is kind of an understatement. I think everyone is just so overwhelmed with work and school that they need to get away. I'm so excited about this long weekend! I plan to do nothing but fun things--see my family, shop, just relax and do nothing...hopefully it will be as great as I hope it'll be.

And I'm so proud of my friend Renee! She's such a diplomat. Don't you hate it when you work in groups? You're told you will get the same grade, so others in your group slack off, expecting you to do all the work, because they know that you want a high grade and will do all the work if necessary to get that high grade. Well, it turns out that sometimes school justice does get dispensed: the teacher gave all the other groups the same grade, but the group where one person did all the work got different grades. Congrats--you earned that grade! And now the other members of the group are mad, because "they all should have gotten the same grade--we earned it!" It's great.

This is kind of an evil thing to be happy about--I mean, three people just got a bad grade on a project. But karma goes around--if you don't do the work, why should you get the grade? On the other hand--I'm sorry, I'm really out of it right now. How's this for a good week? I'm pretty sure I bombed a paper, failed a midterm, and got a paper back that was a lot less than the grade I was expecting. See why I want to go home?

I get to see my friends, family...hopefully the rain will hold out. The weather definitely fits my mood. This is a dumb blog, but I'm so out of it I don't care. I need to get off this campus. If anyone wants to cheer me up, feel free to send the five pound bag of M&M's (available in your local Sam's Club or specialty bulk store) to my room--if next week is like this week, I will definitely need them.
