10 Years After

Your X-Rays Have Just Come Back From The Lab And We Think We Know What Your Problem Is

I stopped by and picked up and turned in an Intention to Graduate form. I'll squeek by in the Spring with just the bare mininum number of hours (128) and, unfortunately, not with enough time to pull my grade up to a 3.0. It'll be close, but not quite. What a shame. Still, I'd rather get to graduate school and involved there than to stay in undergrad and bring up my grade. I think I'll still be able to get into grad school, when it's all said and done.

Dialectology was okay. The Japanese ESL guy lead the class in a discussion of the first two chapters of the Appalachian Speech book. Mostly he showed snippets from the Heartland series and attempted to force a discussion. It was strange and, imho, not very well done. This is mostly due to his weak jokes and trying to get the undergrads (he's a grad student) in the class to discuss. He actually at one point said, "What do the undergrades, other than Chris, think about this. . .?" It felt being singled out.

I missed Intro to Linguistics this morning. I asked a student that's in both Intro to Ling and Dialectology what we did in there this morning. She said we went over the tests we took in there Monday. Oh, and we still haven't received our tests back in Dialectology.
