So THAT'S where all the people reading this come from... | Decisions, decisions... Saturday, June 23, 2007 @ 1:16 am So for my film studies class you only need 200 points to get an "A." Right now, I've got 170. There are two 10-point assignments and a 10-point quiz due on Sunday, as well as the 50-point final. The instructor has never given me less than 10 points for an assignment. Given this history, do I go ahead and turn in the two assignments and ace the quiz (which I always do--yay open-book!) and hope that the assignments are full-credit-worthy, or do I write the final paper "just in case"? I'm feeling conflicted. I'm fairly confident that I'll get the 30 points I need, and I really don't want the added stress of contending with that paper in addition to studying for microbiology, but that leaves absolutely no room for error. Should I effectively take out insurance on my grade by writing the paper? Alright. I don't really need to study (all that much, anyway) for my microbiology final. I only need a "D" on it to get a solid "A" in the class. So the argument that I should study for that instead of writing the paper is a little tenuous. Hmm... I really don't know. I don't want to screw up and get a "B" in this class, but then again, I also don't want to waste my time doing the paper if completely unnecessary. Too bad I won't know what I got on the assignments until after the paper is due. Man, I wish I weren't on the cusp right now. It would be so easy if I were already past 200 points, but when my grandmother went to the hospital, I blew off some work so I could spend my time over there. I guess I don't exactly regret that, but still... Screw it. I'm going to mull over this more tomorrow. As for now, there are other things to do to distract me. Like data analysis for work, or completing my tutor application form, or sleep. Yeah, sleep. That sounds nice. Hasta mañana. 3 Comments. Hmm.. since you're confident that you'll be able to get the 200 points, then don't do the paper. I'm sure even if there's a small miscalculation, you still have your final to help cover up. Though it's entirely up to you and sleep does sound better than anyone of those options. » Nuttz on 2007-06-23 08:16:52 haha, sleep always sounds nice when its the easiest thing to do on the list of things to do. Oh! and since I didn't get to comment on the prior entry ... I saw that video for the first time on TV. I laughed my ass off cuz of just how stupidly funny it is. I wonder, how does one audition for a part like that? » LostSoul13 on 2007-06-23 08:21:48 You could just do a semi-okay paper and some of the assignments... all in all you would probably get the points you need somewhere in there. » randomjunk on 2007-06-23 02:47:27
