Yesterday afternoon I was trying to find the exact requirements for this grad paper nonsense. I checked everywhere in the online shell for the class. Nada. So I sent her an email asking about it. Evidently she had it in the staging area but had neglected to copy it to the live class.
It wasn’t mentioned specifically in the syllabus and there was only a single reference to it on the course schedule, but no details.
I talked to the one other woman in that class that I’m willing to talk to and we agreed that this really isn’t acceptable. Faculty are supposed to have all of that bullshit outlined, in detail, at the start of the semester. And this prof gives you a max of 5 points for everything.
5 motherfucking points
I’ve emailed her to verify that this is the case because if it is, she’s going to get precisely 5 points worth of effort out of me for this. I’m exhausted, I’ve been sick the last few days and dragging my sorry ass in to work anyway, and it’s finally getting cold here. I really want no part of this.
But I will be getting my revenge, oh yes, yes I will. The purpose of the paper is to read 5 articles that she selected (the most recent is 9 years old, what a crock) and find a theme that we write about. I’ve read the articles now and I’ve identified my theme.

Suck it, bitch.

I am just so fucking done with this bullshit. And it’s really not as though she can do anything – I don’t actually need the class or the certificate. I won’t get a raise, my boss hasn’t mandated it, none of that. I was doing it because it sounded like fun and all she’s done is ruin that.

She is absolutely fucking oblivious. But I checked how many points I have and there’s really no way I shouldn’t get an A out of this. And if I don’t, I’m going to the dept chair and all the way to the fucking dean of the college if I have to.

Awesome, an A!! In spite of everything they’ve thrown at you! Hope you’re planning on popping the champagne when that result comes through. And burning her effigy! š

This sounds so terrible, but I really don’t accept anything less than an A. I know goddamn good and well that I’m capable of A level work, I should put out that effort. The only reason I didn’t get a 4.0 on my Masters was I spent some time in the psych ward while classes were in session. And even then, I got a B.

I love that attitude! I think you’re amazing.
I hope it’s contagious. I want to demand more of myself next year. Especially where writing is concerned. I find excuses too easily, which is weird because I freaking love it once I sit down to it.

I always figure if I could do it once, I can do it again so there really is no excuse. š

I’m going to have to keep reading, am I not, to find out your grade? And whether you got her in trouble for being so lame.
