So, today I received my midterm grade for Foundations. I was about to have a heart attack as she began the Doomsday Grade Speech, of which many teachers seem to succomb to before passing back tests. The whole, "Well, many, MANY of you did pretty badly on this test, etc. etc." just about killed me. I had only been able to study the night before, and the class itself is the bane of every Education major. At last, when I finally recieved my test, I refused to look at it, instead handing it to my friend Molly...she looked at it...and scowled at me. She shoved it at me and I looked at the grade. I had gotten 100%. I nearly died with relief. I do not generally get perfect grades...actually, I almost never do. So this was a most welcome surprise :D.

In other news, I made a terrible faux pas during Human Geography. I was making my speech to the class, and I mentioned something about RP-ness. Say that aloud. Yes. Indeed. So, the whole class was desperately attempting to smother their laughter and I was at a total loss as to WHY. Until after the class. When everyone informed me. It was rather awful, but pretty hilarious.

The RD (Marti) ate lunch with Molly, Anya, and I today. We had a picnic outside on the lawn, and it was pretty fun. A girl who came to Geneva from China came over to us and was talking to the RD about something with her insurance. Or trying to. She has only just come, and so her English is not very developed yet. Also...there was an issue with eye color. She stared at the RD for a second, then asked, while pointing to her own eyes,
"Why are your eyes that?"
RD, "Erm....because my mom had blue eyes?"
*blank stare* "What? Everyone has this color."
"Well, I have irish blood!"
*more blank stare*
Us: "People in other places have different eyes, and they mix and make new colors."
"Ohhhhhh." *quizzical look, leaves*
Us: *dying*
I guess that brown eyes are VERY common in China.

Also, the RD decided it would be good of her to honk her horn VERY LOUDLY as my roomie and I exited the building. I may have, erm, screamed and flailed. She seemed to find this very funny. *glares*

And...thats about all. I am supposed to be reading the Inferno, but its really gross and rather boring. My roomie is sitting her eating her pen and attempting Hebrew.
