Should be done the novella and the book by monday to send to pre press check.

That means writing four erotica scenes. Hi, don't come within 3 feet of me for the next 5 days. Frack.

Chasing down a plethora! An ABUNDANCE of continuity errors in the first book.

New music on the playlist and a creeping low level migraine.

Such is life. onwards.

So yet another classmate who half-arsed work gets Deans List?

The girl who soldered 10k earrings with STERLING solder, because she was...THINKING OF HER BOYFRIEND...

Like, I don't think they even pretend to mark rationally. They mark according to percieved expectation.

So if I had zero experience and submitted a portfolio of pictures of Sera taken with hipstamatic, I'd have been graded far easier.

Now people are going to ride on this deans list bullshit when they haven't the skill because they did the work improperly or not at all, but y'know expectations on them are LOWER.

Pam and I were talking about this the other day, the utterly arbitrary marking. Its so goddamn fuckin stupid but you can't really "prove" anything. They just brush it off.

If I'm to be marked to a higher standard I'd like the sheet they're marking off of, y'know?

And these are the people who come crying to ME for help. For answers. for guidance. they don't know how to start a business or do a chain or whatever, and THEY get honors? fuck'yalll, you're on your fucking own. Fail on your own goddamn merits

Only ONE piece I handed in was a fail and it was oddly scaled to be a 10 pt assignment when it should have been a 2. most people didn't hand in 2-4 projects yet they got deans list? I can at least do the fucking work. They haven't even tried.

I'll get better. They'll now have to learn. most people didn't do the pendant, the gem setting, the gold earrings. IMO, critical pieces they never even TRIED.

But they got a better mark over all. So what does that tell you? Do you hire the C student who did everything fairly competently or the B student who did half the work?
