Recently discovered:
No participation: A-
Participation in favor of the teacher's opinion= B+
Participation in opposition to the teacher's opinion=C+
Guess where I am?
Yes, that's right. We get participation points, but how can that be true when those who participate in class (but actually are challenging...which is still participation!) receive a lower grade than those who do not participate at all, or participate in a way which is pleasing to the professor. That is what I call unjust treatment (in my nice words) and will not be tolerated.
I called my mom about it last night. The conversation went like this:
Me: Hey Mom. Remember that teacher I have that I don't like?
Mom: Yeah.
Me: She gave me a C+ for my midterm grade. I've never gotten a C in my life. I can't believe this. Ugh!
Mom: Do you want me to come kick her a**? I'll be there in a few minutes. (we live two hours away!)
Me: Um, no. I think I'll handle this.
Mom: Ok. You let me know though, ok?
Me: Ok, Mom.
Mom: Yeah, well, sometimes, times are difficult. That is, they're difficult until everyone realizes that our way is always the right way!
Me: Haha...yep!
Mom: Ok, well, you call me when you get that grade changed to an A. Or if you need me to come up there and take care of her.
Me: You got it. Thanks Mom.
My mom is the best! (And for those of you who only know me over cyberspace...I'm VERY much like her...if you can't tell just from that...we're both stubborn Polish gals. :) Heh.)
I am currently over-dosing on apple. There is something about Autumn that makes me yearn for apple-flavored anything. So here I sit drinking apple cinnamon tea and eating apple oatmeal. And yes, it is nearly midnight. I have no method to my madness at times. Oh, and I'm watching "Gone With the Wind" (which is totally unrelated...but I LOVE this movie!).
In new news (at least, to me), the diocese has a dispensation to use glass vessels for Mass. Which means that the vessels that I loathe are actually acceptable. Argh. I guess I can continue encouraging the use of gold, but can forget about expecting anything wonderful. :(
So tomorrow begins our Fall Break (which we call Tri-College, since there are three colleges in Dubuque that all get the day off). So, I probably won't post until Sunday night, when I'm back at school.
ONE WEEK UNTIL THE SISTERS OF LIFE COME!!! AAH!! :)

Good question.
The only thing I can think of is that the archdiocese would rather spend what little money they can glean from farming families on things more *important* than gold and silver vessels (like what??...I don't know...)
But that's my own thought, not from any horse's mouths. ;)
