"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Homework Homework

One last post for April!

Oh my goodness. It's amazing how little one can get done in a day. Haha, or I could just say I have a lot of homework... ugh. My British Romantic Literature class cut back on work for the summer. My Copyediting class just doubled the amount due each day. Which I'm sure I'll be glad when I need the things I'm learning later-when I get a job. But right now... ugh.

I really have enjoyed the reading. Honestly, I really do love learning. I hate having to memorize minuet points to regurgitate on a test. When they make me do that, that's when I have no desire to really care about the subject anymore. Oh, and I really need to get myself a really good dictionary :)

I'm really glad lots of my editing homework is just based on if we do it or not. Sad thing is the only assignment I'm totally lost on is the one that will be graded. Haha, so it goes!

Oh! I got my grades from last semester! Three B's and two C-'s... not wonderful but better than I expected! My GPA goes down each semester... pulling my cumulative with it. But I only have four more to go... hmm, this could be bad.
