My day today

First let me start off by saying if you dont want to hear me complain, dont read this entry.
I will start with the happy part of the post. Wednesdays are my Mondays of second semester I have classes from 8:15 to 3 ish and tonight I have a meeting for TEQB. Now if I didnt have Chem Lab this schedule would be fine. I have Chem II, Calc. which I am pretty much understanding and Ryan helped me with last night, and Public Speaking. Today was our first impromptu speech in P.S. which was pretty scary. The topic was think of a specific object to describe your life in the past, present, and future. This means I had to come up with three different objects to describe me. Yea that was difficult. The present came easy, a penny. Then the past, Pooh bear. But the future took the longest to decide on, file folders. We had 12 minutes to prepare a 2-5 minute speech and then deliver it in class. Let me tell you this class tackles the two top fears in America, public speaking, and speaking in front of a camera. So any how most of the other people in the class went before the professor called my name. I was the last one for today, we will finish them on Friday. I was shaking uncontrolably, so I thought. After I finished was time for feedback, both positive and negative. There was no negative feedback. The professor was very impressed with my speaking voice and the pace of the speech was easy to follow. I must say I was so happy to hear that!!
So after leaving that class on cloud 9 I went to Chem Lab. Yea I so could have done without that class today. Today was the first meeting for the semester of lab. I have a different TA this semester than I had last and I already know I am not going to like him. He wouldnt answer any of our questions and he actually wouldnt check our labs at the times he should have as instructed in the lab book. We were playing with atomic structures and the kits we used werent sufficient for what we needed to do. Then he couldnt explain how to do part of the lab we havent covered in lecture. He ended up telling us all to get out of the lab after about 2 hours of us attempting the lab. AHHHH It made me so mad. I still am in a mood from it.
I have a TEQB meeting tonight and from talking to Susan this morning it will be a long one. YAY I cant wait. No really.

Alright hope y'all have a wonderful day!!

I'm glad you did well in your public speaking...I totally would have been shaking. I hope the TA was just having a bad day or something and gets to be more helpful. Love you!

I'm impressed that you did well with your PS class! That is awesome and something I totally wouldn't be able to do! So I'm very proud of you. Hang in there with the labs, he'll figure out that maybe he needs to help more and answer questions when someone blows something up! JK, hopefully that WON'T happen!! Be careful and study hard. Love you!
