don't you hate it. The semester is almsot over and we all know what that means right? Grades, I hate grades. I especially hate bad grades.

It seems that grades should be a reflection of effort and attempt. But noooo I worked my ass off on a presentation. I mean honestly worked for about 2 weeks to make my presentation good. I did a power point, I practised, I talked to people about it, I discussed it before hand with the teacher.

What do I get for that? a great big B. Now I'm not a grade whore but I do have expectations. Ya see, in most other classes i would be ecstatic with a B but no, this was OED, Outdoor Education. I mean give me a flipping break.

Assmunches who put together there projects the day before got higher grades then me. why did I get a B? Not becuase it was a bad presentation, nope, becuase I went over the time. I didn't realize we were being graded so strongly not on our content but that ability to talk for 20 minutes. Give me a break.

If I had known he was going to emphasis staying within a time frame and rambling for 20 minutes he should have waned me. That would have been easy. Now I am upset for no reason truly.

Talked to my folks today, they told me not to worry about it they don't care. for some reason that wasn't reassuring enough. And if any of you tell me shit happens deal with it I'm gonna lose it.

The End of Rant I'm gonna go lay down before I lose my mind.
