My Day At School

There are days when you wish you had a greater brain capacity than you do.  Especially when you're an older college student.  Today I had 2 quizzes, well, actually they were more like tests.

Anyway, the first was in Basic Costuming and if I failed that one I really should just curl up and die.  I know as much about costuming and sewing as the instructor. So why am I taking this class?  Because when I took it in my 20s there really wasn't much hands on work, only a lot of history, and because there wasn't even a real costume shop in the department. I wanted to work in a real costume shop on real costumes and get a decent grade because of it, not let my head be filled with nothing. And so far I'm doing pretty good.

As for the other quiz/test, that was in my ASL Linguistics.  Tuesday night (it's a night class) our instructor, KK, comes into class and writes slowly on the board "ASL Linguistics, Thursday, Retake Quiz." We were all flabbergasted.  Apparently we had ALL bombed the quiz.  The rest of the night we reviewed the material covered. So tonight we go in and pretty much everyone else looked like they did okay whereas I struggled with some of the questions.  One I couldn't remember at all even though I studied. Ugh!  I guess I'm going to have to resort to what I did when I was taking Psychology, type out the notes.  It's really the only way I can remember hard material.  I need to get at least a C in this class in order to graduate this Spring.  If this quiz is any indication, I'm in big trouble.
