  • Summer madness 2.0

    Summer semester has been a challenge to say the least. I thought it would be a lot easier than it was. If I make the Dean’s List this time I would be surprised because it’s looking like I will have two “B” grades in these two classes. Part of it was a requirement to have five people in attendence for my Speeches. Every person you were short it took 10 points off. I had three people so I lost 20 points off the top of all three of my speeches. That was the difference between an 88 and a 91 in this class. If I do another Speech class I plan on doing it in person. Also the History 120 class was heavy with reading and videos. I did great on the classwork but the tests were crazy hard. I can’t imagine for the life of me why a History test needs to be difficult by having five question-answer options and be reframed from different viewpoint to throw the test-taker off. I can understand why the EPA 608 is hard. If you mess up with refrigerants then great harm can be caused and you could be violating Federal law. What’s going to happen if I get a detail about history off? Nothing. It’s really not necessary to make it that difficult. These people aren’t studying to be Scholars or archeologists. We just need to get those core 42 general education credit hours so we can walk with a cap and gown. At any rate, I only have a final test left to take in that History class and I will be done with the Summer semester. Here are some of the photos I have taken recently.
