Nibbs XXVIII (Page 87)

Guinness and coffee in chili sound like it would be really good.

The buffalo is new.  I started using it instead of ground beef (or beef in general).  It's really good. 

haha well then maybe I just dont get chilli

The dark beer really kind of marinades the ingredients and adds richness and thickness. The coffee cuts the acidity of the tomatoes so it's a heartier, more savory stew. I think it makes it addictive, too; people feel better after eating it

Ummm ... what's a yarn ball?

Aaaw... enough to make anyone smile!

Well yuo know when yuo see cats in cartoons playing with balls of string....

The quarter is over.  I need to move on.  I need to let go of all the things that I was going to do, but never got around to finishing (or in some cases...starting).  The vast majority of incomplete items were accumulated more than a month ago. 

I keep thinking that I could finish up such and such and email it to the instructor...

I will get the grades I get and leave it at that.   

Next quarter will be a fresh start.   

Nice attitude Mel - how much time to you have off over the holidays to recover and reboot?

Okay, grades based on internet postings

Botany-This was when I was really really overloaded.
Assignments: 46%
Quizzes/tests: 90%

This averages to a 68%, but according to the class point system I earned 355/500 points which is 71%.  This is either a low C or a high D 

I think I have only received one grade below a B before...

They look so innocent... 

thats great! Do it on your own time and find some fun in there too!

But its a pass right?

Literally a ball of yarn.  It's easier to knit if I turn it into a ball rather than the skeins you see in the stores. 

Is the class curved at all?

Does getting a C cause problems for you? 

Artemis - 2008-12-10 4:23 PM I was just stopping in to say goodnight, so I'm actually going to do that now. 

Night Jen!

To receive credit for the class I need 61% or more.  To receive my AAS I need to have a average of 75% - a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better.  If I don't blow it again, this should be no problem.  

Plant ID grade...

Nursery Visits: 94%
Quizzes: 82%
Final: 92%

Overall: 96.4%

Considering that I missed 2 of the 9 quizzes, didn't get one of the nursery visits done, and took the final with a concussion...that is pretty awesome.

I scored a full grade higher than the class average on the final.

Its 4:30 here and the last think i think I want to do tonight is go to the gym... weird since the weather is closing in so it will be a nice cool night at the gym and therefore probably quite pleasant..

Not sure what I want to do... Im having trouble finding the purpose in a few of my workouts right now I guess...

problems...not really.  It might if I decide to continue to a 4 year university program. 

Well, you certainly rocked that class!

About the other--maybe just time to let go, as you said. It will all balance out in the end.
