Well, at least, that's what I say when I am perturbed at "people" in general. I picked it up from my good friend Mary (thanks Mary! this one has saved me many a time in front of my children.)
The reason I say this at this point is because I'm starting to see a pattern with my history/political science classes. I go to great lengths to explain that I am, by nature, a non-political person and that that particular genre of study is "not my thing." Then I go and get decent grades on the exams when I'm taking the course Credit/No Credit due to my lack of faith in my ability.
Gotta tell ya' though: I'm still glad I'm taking THIS Political Science course Credit/No Credit. My instructor --bless her heart, she's a nice lady, but far too advanced for me in her lectures-- asks questions of the class when she is lecturing and you could hear a pin drop (or crickets chirp, etc.) in the time it takes anybody to say anything in the class. I have no idea what "issues were predominantly the same in both Carter's and Clinton's presidencies" or the differences either! I am, however, pulling A's on the exams. Go figure.
Well, just wanted to vent and have that be the point of the blog for once. After all, is ANYBODY EVEN READING THIS???
