The parts of speech...

"Gentlemen, are you ready? On your marks, get set, GO!!!"

The sounds of students chatting about what finals are today, what finals are going to "own" them, and how finals don't matter to them (because their grades are so high) or how finals don't matter to them (because their grades are too low.) I fall somewhere inbetween. A bad final can land me the mediocore title of "average" (C), but a exceptional final grade would grant me the close, but no cigar caption "above average" (B). There is no making an A for me this semester. Maybe its because I didn't study as hard or didn't plan my time right, but whatever the reason...it happened for a reason.

The final for my Sociology class 1101 was today. Another mediocore test attempt (in my opinion) and at best I scored a B, but at worst I possibly got a C. Nothing to brag about, but also nothing to be ashamed about. I think I like it that way (or at least I like to pretend I do.)

Finals week is stressful for everyone. I don't know anyone who isn't worrying about their finals (at least a little bit.) Its natural to worry, but I'm not going to let it consume me. Maybe its because I'm one of those people that lie inbetween not caring because I'm not going to fail and not caring because I'm not going to get an A (I don't have that answer.)

- exhale...Well I don't know how the rest of my finals will play out. I tend to beileve it'll just be a continued string of mediocore attempts. I'm not complaining...I could even change it if I wanted to, but I think it might be a little too late. There's always next year.

"Let the lesson begin" she says as we slip into our night time's best.
"What's the lesson today?" my inquisitive mind wonders.
"Today we will start with parts of speech." She instructs

Nouns to tell me how she feels, adjectives to tell me how she views me, verbs aren't shown with words, but expressed with actions and has me saying proper nouns complimented by interjections, Adverbs lets her tell me how much she loves me (and I practice my adverbs back.)

"This is an interesting way to learn the parts of speech." I say
She gives me an A+ on the lips and a golden star on my cheek.
She compliments me by saying,
"You're a fast learner."
"I only learn from the best." I reply.
