so guess what. this is pretty dang cool, i think. ya know how all my classes are either on the net or telecourse? well yeah...so i dont' actually have contact with my teachers.....so i am taking intro to law....and i took my online test.......which consisted of 80 points.....i got 64 pts correct...which gave me an 80 percent.......and i had some qualms with some of the grading....so i emailed my teacher a very lengthy email explaining each test question i had an issue with....and this is the jist of what she wrote me back.........:

Dena, I don't have your "introductory letter" before me, so I
don't recall the answer to this question -- are you planning to go to
law
school? If so, that would be a good choice for you. Your manner of
raising
these issues was very professional, and you present your arguments in
coherent and cogent form.

I will credit you with 1 point with respect to Question 18 ("checks and
balances"),

Moreover, in view of the fact that you took the time, invested the
effort,
and presented your views in such a professional and articulate manner, I
will credit you with an additional 3 points. My guess is that you
learned
something from the experience of going back and reviewing the
instructional
materials and constructing an argument based on your interpretation of
those
materials.

So, the bottom line is, I will credit you with a total of 4 points, and
those will be added to your present exam score. Dena, I don't know if
there's a way for me to go into the "grades" module of WebCT and
manually
make that adjustment. If not, I will make a note in my gradebook and
the
adjustment will be made at the end of the semester when I calculate your
final grade.


woot woot! how happy am I?!?!?! very happy!!!! so instead of getting an 80 % on the test, i am receiving an 85 percent! five percent?!!??! that is really exciting to me! thank you God!

Ins't taht cool?!?!?!?

heres the dealeo. jodie's mom works for the Examiner, the Independance MO newspaper.....jodes calls me today and is like "my mom just called me and wanted to know if myself and an attractive female friend wanted to work at a golf tournement tomorrow from 7 til noon".....i'm like "what will we be doing?" jodes is like "i don't know..i would assume selling papers or something" so jodes calls her mom back and calls me back......."ok...all we have to do is walk around and socialize.........and we get 10 bucks an hour plus they're giving us movie passes and stuff like that..." lol.........so we were gonna get paid to socialize with a bunch of golf onlookers and such........sa WEET........but ne who.......its supposed to rain tomorrow like a you know what........so........we declined the offer...sucks.......since its prolly gonna get rained out anyway, we decided to not make the commitment to get up at the butt crack of dawn.....

so the other night my friend katherine attempted to wax my legs....and i don't recommend it....its EXTREMELY painful....and doesn't even work fully....so whats the point in having partially waxed legs? if you've gotta shave some, then you might as well shave the whole leg and not patches.right? n e who.....this is the funny story.

afterward i smoothed a ton of this soothing lotion on my legs.......and then sat down at the computer and chatted and am eating pretzels...and then all of the sudden...i look at the bag of pretzels....look at the bottle of topical lotion.....look at katherine......"do your realize what i've just done?!?!?! I CAN'T FEEL MY LIPS!"
.... i had forgotten to wash my hands after applying the lotion.....and it must have had some type of healing numbing agent in it............ and so i inadvertently numbed my lips from eating the pretzels and having my hands around my mouth.........she like DIED laughing........ she told me the best part was my expression on my face


that is all.....it was DANG funny though

hope ya'll are not too scared from thinking about my hairy legs.....
