Well, I did just horribly on the Biology exam. I was in a large group because most everyone in the class had about the same score as I did -- 66!! I was just crushed. I had really studied diligently. At lab last night everyone was moaning about it and talking about how they studied 'so hard'. I said 'you too', until I found out their studying hard meant cramming all night the night before was the only studying they had done!! I bet if those kids had put in a little more effort, they would have made higher scores.

My grade hasn't yet posted the extra credit points, which will add 5+ to the grade. I feel sure I will get them. Of course I thought I was going to make an 80 on the exam too! I did score well on my lab quiz though and that is getting better and more fun. It is still a struggle to understand at times but I'm not getting as stressed as I was. Gotta keep that blood pressure down :)

Now on the other hand, I'm doing great in my Creative Writing courses. At least in my major, I am excelling, which is good to know. Next week I will get to 'workshop' one of my poems. That is when you let the entire class critique your work. I'm looking forward to it. The one I have chosen for submission is titled 'Southern Charms' and describes the campus and how it makes me feel. Some of the ones we have heard so far have been dark and very painful. If I was in my early 20s, I would probably be writing that kind of poem too. Mine seems light and almost fluff so I hope they will take it seriously!

I am glad it is Friday. The weeks fly by sometimes and I have to stop and think what day it is. Both 'roomies' are going back to Mooresville this weekend and I will be all by my lonesome. I will probably do a little housework, go down to the beach and a lot of reading.

My kind of weekend!
