Mediocre

You ever had feelings of being "just average"? You ever been so high on yourself(but not in a snoody, condescending kinda way) that in an instant you were brought back down to other's perceptions of you?

So, I am taking some online courses. Let me just say if you have never taken an online course before, here are the pros and cons you need to understand.

Pros:

1. Allows you to work on your own time, in between work and home.
2. You can be "in class" in your PJs, no make-up on, looking a hot mess, and no one knows.
3. It's all computer work.

Cons:
1. Allows you to work on your own time, which is never since you work and have a home.
2. There is no classroom setting. You know, the one where you walk in and within the first five minutes, you realize it is going to be a long semester. Nope, none of that.
3. It's all computer work. A. lot. of. computer. work.

Now, back to the meat of it.

So, I'm taking some online courses. I will admit that I make really good grades.

That is, until now.

I have this instructor who is eating my grits. Burns me up every chance he gets.

Got a "C" at midterm. Made a 78 on a book report. (Has anyone done a book report since Where the Red Fern Grows? Just sayin.)

Just submitted another paper for him. I put, no lie, probably 10 times more effort into it.

If you hear reports of spontaneous combustion, then you will know how I fared.

Standby......
