Work in Progress

You oughta hear the mirror in my house You oughta fear her pretty, pretty mouth Says I’m imperfect in every way: “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”/...But I’m gonna burn, I’m gonna shine and multiply I’m gonna fill up the great divide You’ll never break me with all the things you say “Miss Almost, Miss Maybe, Miss Halfway”

and all is right with the world again

I talked to my RE prof. I was right. He DID base my grade off of my belief. He marked me down b/c he didn't agree with me.
*but*
He apologized PROFUSELY. Re read my paper. Wondered aloud *why* he gave me a B, said I did much better than that.
Then he went on to say that he must have been marathon grading, and had read so many papers by people sharing my belief who worded theirs "terribly" and when he got to mine and read that belief again, was frustrated. He said I worded mine very well, I did not deserve that ridicule *nor* did I deserve a B, and is regrading it.
*sigh of relief* And I am no longer steaming.
*but* just for the record...
The grade did not upset me all that much. I was not after getting a better grade, nor was I steaming over the B. I was angry over the fact that it appeared he marked down my grade based on my belief. I just wanted to know the reasons for my grade, because being ridiculed like that is very angering, and I am no longer a doormat who does not stand up for myself.
And I don't hate that class as much as I did yesterday :D
about 7 more hours... :D :D :D I think I'm going to explode!!!
