and everything would be alright.

I got my first Government exam back today; received a 79% (actually a 71%, but I got 8 extra credit points). I'm really, really unhappy about that. I really like government and politics and such, so you'd think I'd do well in the class; at least, that's what happened in High School. WRONG. I don't think it's as much my fault as it is the professor's. He's this really old guy who speaks in a monotone voice and just lectures for nearly the entire time. We basically do the same thing every class. Like today, we watched Newshour, he lectured for 45 minutes, we watched a video, he gave us the answers to the video, and we left. The sad thing about this is that he gives us the lecture notes and answers to everything, so we technically don't have to do any work, and then we don't learn anything. It's getting boring really fast and I hate it. (However, he did say that we've got two more exams before our final grade is tabulated, so I can do well on those and still do okay in the class. So there's that.)

After class, I got my hair cut! We've got family pictures coming up towards the end of the year, and my hair was getting long and ratty anyways, so now was the best time to get it cut. It's now just past my shoulders and flipped out at the ends. I can still put it in a ponytail, but I MISS MY LONG HAIR AND ALL IT'S RATTINESS! I haven't had it this short in years; I'm still getting used to it.

And then my packages came today! I got my Obama shirt (a little small, but if I don't wash it, it'll fit well; I'll wear it on Wednesday for the debate), a pink scarf (one of those cool hipster scarves that I FINALLY figured out how to wrap so it looks hip) and black Converses (they're actually a bit big, so I have to send them back and exchange them for a half-size smaller. So I won't get to actually wear them for another few weeks or so. Le sigh.)

I'm gonna talk about Criminal Minds sometime tomorrow after I re-watch it. I got distracted about halfway through it because Dad came home from refereeing a high school soccer game, where the goalie received a red card after yelling at one of the other referees, and discussed it with Mommy and I. I don't have a lot of homework to do this weekend (just 2 chapters of Stats, Speech research and some Astronomy), so that will definitely get done. It's going to be another lazy weekend.

That's sucky about your class :( As nice as it is at the time to pretty much be given the answers for stuff, there's no real way to keep it as knowledge because you didn't really LEARN it and then there's the freakout when exams come up. But it's good that you have more exams to kiss ass on!!
