This semester long group project was finally emailed to the professor after the last round of edits last night. The presentation was this morning, and the professor seemed pleased enough with it. But the best part is when I checked email earlier, the professor had replied saying the document was "absolute perfection".

We put so much effort into this project, and I'm elated that it paid off so well.

...Now to survive tomorrow's final. I have to make an A on it, but even then it wouldn't be enough for me to pass the class. I'm extremely lucky to have a professor understanding of the personal issues that interfered with my ability right at mid-terms and has given me an extra assignment in hopes it'll be enough for me to earn a passing grade.

So, what is ideal to include in a personal statement asking for levity in admissions? Because my ACT score in math and science....isnt very good, because some of the concepts i did not understand until after I took the test?

I am two semesters away from graduating. I want to finish passably SO BAD, because I've spent either three or four years officially getting my AA and I WANT TO BE DONE WITH COLLEGE SO I CAN WORK/ACT.

On another note, what's anthropology about? My counselor said that aside from needing another fucking math class (which I already knew), I needed a physical science class and I'm like "hey, Anthropology! I know a lot of those concepts because I'm pagan!"

Is it like a blend between history and cultural studies, or is it something else? It's hard to quite grasp the field from Wikipedia.

It's the study of small cultural groups (as opposed to Sociology which usually covers whole countries and the like). I guess there is some history?

Depends, are you doing physical or cultural anthropology?

EDIT: Though the physical science requirement makes makes me think it's probably the former.

Yep, it's listed as a physical science, so it's physical anthropology.

Ah than it's more like early man, like Australopithecus and the like, I'm not quite sure because I only ever took Cultural Anthropology.

What kind of physical anthropology? You'll likely cover hominins, and human prehistory up till the Iron Age.

I'm over halfway to getting my AA degree. And for one of my assignments this semester, I have to write a research paper in CMS (Chicago Manual of Style) format. I've never done this format before, which is why I have to study it very carefully (and hopefully find a topic).

If you're a history major like me you'll be getting super acquainted with Chicago Style.

I'm taking a history class, which is why I have to write a CMS paper. And although I already looked at the style, I'm considering looking over it carefully again so my paper can be formatted correctly.

Mctagg: It says "intro to anthropology" on my college website, so I can't say for sure what we'll cover until Wednesday when I actually get to class.

I'm still not sure if I find Harvard referencing clunky or not.

So I got an A for the final paper for an English course, an 8 pages long paper....which I wrote literally under two hours.

......So why exactly did I turn this so late, I have no idea.

Continuously reading, studying, and (hopefully) growing.

My college uses Harvard citation for the most part. Sure, there are online tools that can help with citation, but then internet access on campus is very spotty, and the hostel's doubly so. And of course using Blackboard SafeAssign only works once, when you submit the assignment proper.

Dad gave me permission to use his tax info to fill out the FAFSA myself. The FAFSA itself says I cannot create a pin for him or risk messy shit. However, since he gave me verbal consent to use his other information, am I allowed to do it then?

(On another not, we need a Useful Notes for the FAFSA. UN actually helped me study for my drivers license!)

So the first English class I had required me to write a short essay on something I liked. I decided to write about The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and was promptly asked whether I actually wrote said essay without anyone else's assistance. Well, yes? :|

So today in class I learned I had an essay due at midnight today, class ended at 11:30am and I was able to get it done by 12:45pm I was so relieved I submitted it online without editing it. I'm really not sure whether I should be proud of myself or ashamed.

Physical Anthropology sounds pretty awesome. I just need to go to Moodle for the syllabus and book ID, and then buy the book as fast as it'll ship.

Yay my college has a carpool system(accessable by the city website). Might be useful for if I don't have enough for a car by August.
