Say what?!

Thursday (8/12) I started a new class and the first assignment (besides the usual reading) was a 10 question quiz. No big deal. I felt I did really well on it until I submitted it (it's an online class) and saw that 4 of them were marked wrong, well right below it was the correct answer and with the exception of adding the word 'the' (things have to sound grammatically correct in my brain) or leaving out the word 'in', the answers were correct.

I wasn't the only one who had this problem. Turns out there's something wrong with the computer program the school used and rather than manually change the grades for everyone, they decided to make the quiz not have any points, therefore it doesn't count against our grade in the class, and the points the quiz would have been worth have now been added to the 2 assignments we have.

I know the quiz doesn't count anymore, but it's still going to bug me that the answers were marked wrong when they are right.

I took the final for the class, anticipating that when I got home from today’s activities, I wouldn’t have it in me so do it (and I don’t but I still have some discussion questions to complete in the next 3 hrs). The grade for the was 85% and I got 100% on both assignments. No telling how my final grade is going to end up with the reshuffling of points.

right now I’m so sleepy!

I've been at the Marriott since 830 am and it's now 842 pm (I've actually been home for about 40 minutes).

I had my seminar and testing to become a notary public, and let me say it seems easy, but there's quite a bit of stuff to remember. Also, I'm SO GLAD I don't have "disposable" income. let and right they were trying to get people to buy the "tools of the trade" - stamp, notary journal, notary commission seal, thumb print pad and various other things a Notary Public would need. My whole mindset was, let me find out if I pass (70% or 9 missed questions passes you) before I buy all that addition stuff. Plus, I still have to do live scan fingerprint (background check with FBI & DOJ). There was people who readily paid almost $230 for the day not knowing if they passed (the test or the background check!) and you don't get your money back if you don't pass and you have to pay again to retake the test.

In 15-20 days I should know if I passed the exam, then it'll be another 8-10 WEEKS before I know/am licensed as a Notary Public. At the very least, I should be able to start out 2011 saying that I'm a Notary Public.
