All my grades still aren&#8217;t in.  I&#8217;m missing two, and in the meantime my GPA for the semester is 2.9, which is great except that I&#8217;d like to know.  I need to know.  I&#8217;m scared to death that maybe I didn&#8217;t pass Professional Responsibility.  The final paper was just awful, and I turned it in thinking it sucked, and the thing is I didn&#8217;t know how to improve it because it was all subjective, and the problem seemed to have no solution what so ever.  The whole class gripped about it.  What&#8217;s worse is that the teacher has been suspended, so I may end up with a pass\/fail.  I need a pass and I need a passing grade in Arbitration, or I don&#8217;t graduate in May.  I have every right to freak, yet I shouldn&#8217;t because I was told the PR prof doesn&#8217;t believe in failing students.  I got this from a student = hearsay.  Ugh, I just want my grades in.  I want to make Dean&#8217;s list too, but I doubt that will happen.<br \/>\nI need to calm down.  Really.<br \/>\nOn the upside choir was fun.  Daniel decided we should sing a Copeland song, and when we realized it was Ching-a-ring Chaw, Katie and I groaned and then laughed.  We sang it two years ago when Laurel was the director, and we realized we really don&#8217;t remember the song as well as we thought.  At least I can sing the &#8216;ching-a-ring-a-ring&#8217; parts.  Let&#8217;s forget the part where I shrieked a few notes higher because I thought it was supposed to go that high.  I think I sang Soprano 2 last time, and that&#8217;s why I got confused.  There were so many good sopranos that year that the director divided us up, and we each took turns at Soprano 1 and 2.  I even sang Alto 1 for &#8216;House on a Hill&#8217; (which I would love to sing again, even as an alto!) by Copeland to compensate for the lack of altos compared to the abundance of sopranos.  The last two years I&#8217;ve been strictly a 1, but who knows what might happen this semester.  Many of the Soprano 2s have been moved to the alto position.<br \/>\nAnyway, I love choir, and I love that we get to sing Scarlatti and Shubert and Copeland, and a really weird Bernstein piece with some wicked high As (yay!).<br \/>\nAnd tomorrow there is a new <i>Angel<\/i>.  I may have to skip the recaps.  I don&#8217;t want to see a recap of the whole pity sex.  EWWW.<br \/>\nRandom, quirky blogging should return tomorrow.<br \/>\nOne thing, <a href=\"\/%22http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2003\/TECH\/biztech\/01\/14\/downloading.music.ap\/index.html%22\">this agreement<\/a> does not sound good.  Not all companies joined, and it has halted legislation regarding the addition of a mechanism to prevent copying, but somehow I feel there is a catch.  Oh, and my copyright professor has ordered us not to buy copy protected cds.  I never intended to.  hehe<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last hour has been spent in distraction techniques that seem to be working. All my grades still aren&#8217;t in.
