Here in Katie’s Head

Gmail’s spam filtering was the reason I use their service.

Apparently Gmail decided the war on spam is unwinnable. Instead of filtering out all the junk mail, it’s just leaving it in my inbox. It’s still catching some spam, but not much.

This started last night. Is it just me?

Dear con law and wester civ teachers,

Seriously. Post the grades. I’ve already got my grades for the class with the last-minute term paper. (He gave me an A. Hilarious!)

You’ve had my finals for a week now. If you really want to be lazy, just give me the same grade that you gave me for the midterm. I haven’t gotten any cleverer since then.

Dear other teachers,

Thanks for the grade inflation. I owe you one.

Love, Katie

Dear con law and wester civ teachers,

Please post grades today. I need a confidence boost to give me motivation to finish start my last term paper.

Maybe you remember that bad dream I had about a midterm and how I’d completely forgotten to study for the test I had that day.

(Amazingly, I ended up setting the curve for that exam.)

I just talked to my professor. He did his grades last night, and I got a 97 percent overall.

I love electives. And I love multiple choice tests even more.

Now I just have to pass the rest of my exams (constitutional law, western civ II, congress). Sadly, they are not multiple choice.

I have two finals tomorrow. Two really, really hard finals. Two finals that I am in no way prepared for.

But the Grey’s Anatomy finale was tonight.

I think Grey’s Anatomy has ruined my academic career.

I finally got around to picking up my cap and gown for graduation today.

So, why didn’t anyone warn me?

The “gown”? It’s black and plastic. I could wear a garbage bag and no one would know the difference. I paid $17 for what I could have gotten for free from my kitchen cabinet.

I know I shouldn’t expect much for $17. But this probably cost no more than two dollars to make. It’s that shitty.

At least they could have used a lighter color so we don’t get so hot sitting in the sun all day.

If you’re, you know, into that kind of thing, we’re giving away the new Death Cab for Cutie DVD and some singles over at MusicBeet.

And if you really like winning stuff, we generally have a new contest every couple of weeks.
