Lab reports...

I got that lab report back a few minutes ago. And my score is... 93/100. I forgot to ask what the average grade was, but on the last assignment it was 78 and the curve is supposed to center around a C+ - so if my TA grades consistently then it looks like my numeric scores will correspond to letter grades in the typical 90/80/70 scheme. This week there is possible extra credit. I don't expect to get better than 100 because there are always little things to pick at in writing, but I'm hoping to break 95.

Also, I got 91% on my chemistry midterm. This is even better than it looks because in the honors class an A goes down to 88.

I am reconsidering taking two writing classes at once, because when I have writing assignments they take up a TON of my time. This week I actually had to stay home and do work when I would've otherwise messed around on campus because I had both a lab report and a women's studies paper due. If I take 18 credits with 8 of them devoted exclusively to writing, plus the lab reports, I might get really sick of writing papers.
