Done! Done! Done!
The history exam was harder than I thought it would be. There were only five multiple-choice questions (and I do believe I got them all) but then there were five short essay questions, and a long essay question. I'm not worried about my writing being okay on those, but about whether I included all the relevant details. My writing doesn't really lend itself to pencil and paper. I keep wanting to cut and paste. I'll think, "oh, wait, I needed to include that" but then it doesn't really go in the section I'm working on then. Still, I should probably have managed at least 18 out of the 30 points on the thing, and that will get me a B, which is what I was expecting in the course.
The really cool thing, though, is that the grades for the paper got posted. The prof pointed this out, and told me I got my B-. I about squealed right there. I went to look at the point sheet and--get this--I got photo points. Ten shiny ones. For some reason, the Xbox story didn't make it to the online version, so I didn't realize it had gotten print. But it did. With one of my pics included. That 10 points for the pic was enough to put me over the line for my 300 points. I ended up with 307.
*passes out*
The pdf version of the issue in question is here. (Big file, helps to save target as.) They still chopped it up a bit, but it's basically still my story, which is cool.
Getting some lunch and then finally home, for three weeks of rest, relaxation and housecleaning. Well, maybe two out of three.
