Yay!

I had my second midterm this morning and is now excited to have 2 whole days off! I can't even begin to describe how great it feels knowing that I can sleep in tomorrow, without any obligations all day, can't even remember the last time that happened... !  For those of you who doesn't know; I usually work in a boutique in Marina del rey whenever I'm not in school (Starfish, corner of Washington and Pacific- you should stop by if you're in the area- I'll give you a discount;).

Another good thing happened today too, but in order to describe the extent of my relief I need to provide some background information;

I'm taking an American History class this semester, this is not my major, nor is it a requirement for my transfer, but an elective.  This means that I don't have to take this class but I choose to because I find the subject interesting.  Unfortunately the interesting-part doesn't just apply to the subject in matter, but also my professor.  His character just doesn't make sense to me as I find him extremely offensive and sort of disrespectful, but in a strange way that makes me really uncomfortable being in his class.  This is really annoying since I don't "have" to be in that class, I actually tried to drop it but it was too late to get a refund (and with the sky-high out-of-state tuition, ignoring this fact is not an option).  

On monday he told the class that we are having our midterm next week and he announced some really unfair conditions for taking the exam.  Since there are so many time consuming parts that needs to be completed (one 3 pg. essay, 4 id-questions and 30 multiple choice- in 1 hour and 20 minutes) the students that doesn't have another class after can finish up the exam on a different location! Hello? What about those of us who can't stay due to a packed schedule??? 

I asked him about it, and to make a long story short; he gave me a really hard time in class because of it.  

I was sure that he would give me bad grades on my previous essays, that he promised to hand back to us today, due to our little dispute on monday. Surprise, surprise, he gave me A's on both of them! Happy day!
