More good news...
i almost forgot to share the other good news of the day! well first, old roommate called and asked if she could drop by to give me the check for the cable bill she forgot to pay. i said, but of course you can pay me! so she came over and gave me the check. yay... one more thing taken care of.
now do you remember my seething rant about the BS grade i received in one of my classes? the 4 of us in our group got a B for solid A work. so we went to school early to pick up our paper and review her comments before we talked to her. first, we got a B+ on the paper, which should still average out to an A when combined with 2 other grades of A. but anyway... to keep it brief before the next storm hits and i have to turn off the computer again... she didn't really assign grades based on the criteria in the syllabus, but whatever we got on the paper was then what we got in the class. so a B+ not on a +/- system is a B. but she said that if we were willing to make the corrections she suggested in the paper and resubmit it, then she would be happy to change our grade. she said that it was more important to her that we learned in the class and were satisfied with the grade, than to fight about the grade. so yay... we'll make a few basic changes next week during our break and resubmit it to her. then we'll finally get the grade we deserve. not completely a fair deal, but close enough that it works for us. and it resolves the issue much faster than if we went above her to rat her out for not grading according to her syllabus. also saves our butts if we happen to have her again for another class.
P.S. Keep them in your prayers.
