Finals are done!

Thursday the 13th of May, 2010. Spring semester is finally over!!! My God I been waiting for this day for the past few weeks. Now that it is here though, I don't feel a huge relief. I am still worried about my last two final exam grades to be entered. Once those are out, only then will I be able to fully rest. Here I go again though, complaining about another teacher. I really think that this community college has no credibility when it comes to teachers. First of all the drop out rate here just blows the roof, yet the enrollment rate increases every semester lately. Who knows....Anyway, my teacher for one of my classes wrote the damn book that we used. It seems that the examples and definitions she used did not match at all though. I thought maybe I wasn't understanding them, but many other students felt along the same lines. Not to mention the fact that some of her definitions were borderline racist. Her tests made no sense, and did not always fall along what she told us to study. Sometimes, but I think she just tried to be wordy and wound up confusing the hell out of me. I know when I am really just slacking and doing bad in a class. I also know when the professor got a degree in the subject, but NOT in teaching. A lot of our teachers here are graduates of this very same school. Why am I not surprised?? Ok, ok,it's summertime and the heat alone will make me crazy, so that's enough of that. I am ready to book it outta this hole for about three weeks, until summer classes begin. Ugh! I got so much to do before the first because I am moving. Wish me luck, and keep up the prayers. God bless.

Just BS

I have been so busy with schoolwork lately that I haven't been writing anything other than that of my 8 page research paper and my speech. I go to a community college in Harris county. I like it. I am enrolled in five classes and am quite busy. I am a veteran and the Government is paying for everything, I love it. Even though it's a cluster **** in itself, I am doing well with it. But I will get into that in another blog. Sometimes I wonder though if the teachers know what they are doing here. I am not complaining about anyone particular this semester, but last semester I had an encounter with a rather "bitchy" professor. That would be putting it lightly. She took up about four complete essays, and a journal of three entries from the class. She never returned the journal the entire semester, after informing us that she was going to give us two or three topics to write about every week. We only received two of the four essays back and never got our Mid-term grades. She was evil too, and had her favorites along with her favorites to poke at. She changed her mind about everything, and was always right, while screaming or talking down to us in thinking this would prove her accountability. Anyways, enough about my "bitch" session of who should and should not teach. I will be trying to post my own writings on here soon. Just my day to day thoughts, but something interesting I hope. At the moment though I am not up to it. I have had a migraine on and off all day today, and just do not feel like doing it. Although I managed to get onto facebook. I find that many of us just can't stay away. Hey, I do recommend it to anyone if they are trying to find long lost friends, family, etc. But stay away from the games, it's addicting. I know I am in FGA meetings. Lol. Have a wonderful night ;)

Mel's First time....blog

My name is Melanie and I am a student at a local community college here in Houston. I am striving to be a great journalist one day, and am going to start here, right now with my one little voice. I will speak my mind for those who want to hear. I want to say what nobody else will say, and to speak for those who can't or are too afraid to. I want to help people in any way I can. Hopefully my words will sink into your hearts or maybe bore you to sleep. Who knows, but right here is where I will start :)
