Juggalette Princess's blog: "The never ending thoughts of me..."

Well it's official.. thanks to my Criminal Justice Teacher I feel like a failure. I feel like nothing I am going to do is going to make this asshole happy. I emailed him previously to ask him what my grade was on a take home assignment.. what he calls a quiz.. I got an email stating "You missed 9 you got 31, better than a couple, worse than several" Well, I emailed him last night to find out how to turn in my homework assignment and pick up the new one for this week since I missed class, because I was in the ER.Here is what I got back from that email. Tara, You were missed in class last night. I am not one to mix words, so permit me to speak to the point. You were previously so concerned about your grade performance on your first quiz that you expected me to take time to respond to your email and provide you with a follow-up email about your performance prior to the next scheduled class. Both of which expectations I met. On this occasion you are asking me to waive my policy for not receiving late work because you were in the hospital, a fact you notify me about within hours of our scheduled class ending, but not before, thus having made no arrangements to turn in your assignment before the class that was missed. I am assuming that this has occurred due to an unplanned emergency, and thus I am ON THIS OCCASION accepting your request. I have attached the quiz I handed out last night, which is due next week. You may leave the quiz you failed to turn in on time at my office or at the Logansport LRC. Do not expect this policy to again be waived. My experience is that students that do not or can not attend my classes do not do well academically. If you expect this will prove to be a problem, for whatever reason, for you, I urge you to seriously consider dropping the course. Michael Now that you have read that, can anyone undertand why it is that I feel like shit. I feel like nothing I do is going to make this teacher happy. He basically sat there and bitched about me wanting to know my grade in his class, yet he doesn't post my grade on the student website for me to access, so if he doesn't post my grade for me.. How am I supposed to get it, outside of contacting him for it? Plus, am I not allowed to be sick now.. shit... what is this the Nazi Republic or what? NO TARA.. YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE SICK OR YOU WILL FACE YOUR DEATH.. YOUR DEATH SENTENCE WILL BE ADMINISTERED BY MICHEAL HOLSAPPLE.. PROGRAM CHAIR OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE.. AND YOUR TEACHER,... WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Now in all seriosness.. how am I supposed to feel?? I would like everyones opinion that reads this. Thanks.

Have you ever noticed that just when things are looking good.. BAM!!!! Shit hits the fan.. and it splatters like hell all over the place. Things just get worse and worse.. GRRRR!!! Well, all I can say is that God won't give me anything I can't handle.. man he must think I am a freaking superhero today or something. It just seems like things are just getting worse by the day today.I guess I don't have to worry about the world ending today though.. it's already tomorrow in Australia.. LOL. I just had to vent a bit. I am done now.

Well here it is 5:30 and I am still awake. I tried sleeping.. it just didn't happen. I have been cleaning most of the night. Mitch keeps waking up and telling me that the house is clean enough.. I just keep seeing alot of little things that need done. Every time I see something that needs done.. I just keep cleaning and don't stop. It's a bit early in my pregnancy for the nesting phase. That should be like 2-3 months down the line. I just think it's wierd. My house is perfectly clean one minute and the next I see like a thousand things that need done. GRRR. Well right now I am sitting down and taking a break. I made a new friend on here too. She gave me the link to get a skin on my profile. Thank you btw STREET DREAMS!! Anyhow.. here are just a few of the things that I have done that I think any other time would just sound pointless. I have rearranged my food cabinets, and my cabinets with cleaning supplies in them, I have scrubbed out my washer, washed all my windows.. even though I did that 2 days ago too, Then I decided that I didn't like the way my movies were sitting so I changed that too. I am going to have Mitch move the chairs later today. I don't like how they are sitting. See what I mean here people? It just never ends.. oh.. and I decided that there are clothes that were sitting from when my daughter was really little that needed washed because they had been sitting in a closet for awhile, plus the ones that are too big for her to wear just yet. I also re-folded all the towels.. they didn't look right. I think this is just some wierd pregnancy thing.. but like right now when I am just sitting here relaxing.. I think.. damn man, that was some pointless shit to do. Anyway.. so yes this is a early morning babble. So obviouslly it is going to be strange.. sorry about that. Well I think I am done for now. I am going to finish up what I was doing with my profile., rate a few people, and then I am going to try to go to bed. I am going to need a couple hours of sleep.

Well, I had to post a blog about this.. I have been thinking about it for a couple days now... and it has been eating at me. I took my daughter to see fireworks here in town on the 4th. I heard this little boy ask his Dad why he had to come see the fireworks... and the Dad's response was "It's a tradition" TRADITION?!?!? Why not tell your children what the meaning behind the fireworks are? Then I was watching the news that night, and it about floored me when the news station did a report on how many Americans really knew what we celebrated on Independence Day. Most of the adults had the general idea.. but when it came to the kids.. they were clueless. Why are we as AMERICANS not teaching our children the history of our country and how we gained our freedom. I understand that some children are too young to need to know the specifics.. they are a bit graphic. But in my opinion, I think Americans in general need to start teaching thier children WHY we celebrate Independence Day, what the meaning is behind the fireworks, what the American Flag represtents... and you know everyone says that we have so much freedom... and not one person on that news report could even recite the PREAMBLE to the Constitution. How ridiculous is this? What has this country come to. Do people forget that our children are the future of this country, and they NEED TO KNOW THE HISTORY OF AMERICA!!! It is well proven that history repeats itself. If we don't teach our children our history.. what is to come of our country. Now some may argue that the children learn these things in school.. yes they do learn SOME in school.. but why are we leaving all the teaching to our school systems when we are perfectly capapble of teaching our children these things ourselves? Do people forget the sacrifice of the soldiers that died for the freedom that we now have? Now maybe I shouldn't call this stupidity so much as I should call it "failure" on the part of some Americans to truly remember the sacrifices that were made, and are made everyday for us to have freedom, for us to have all of the nice things that we do have. I also wonder why is it that we only celebrate our freedom once a year? People are so worried about whining and complaining about the things that go on in this country because things aren't done the way that they want them.. people are so spoiled. I would love for some people to live a day in the life of poeple in Africa, or Russia.. where they have NO freedom.. or maybe right now I should say that people need to see first hand the lives of the citizens in Iraq right now. We are all aware of the general thing that is going on in Iraq right now. But I think that we would appreciate our freedom so much more if we could expierence the things that these people go through daily. I think I am done venting now.. I really think that some people should think about this though. That is all for now.
