flip mino is here

Today I was determined to have a productive day. Went to the medical centre to see how much I weighed- I have continued to lose weight- but I'm not excited because I know I will gain it all back in the meantime when I return.

Productivity- I have not been studying W H Y?!
The English school system is not motivating me

I have a presentation on schizophrenia and guess what I'm not being graded on it. I was doing all types of research and excited to speak in front of the class with all these cool facts that I'm finding- or the hypothesis prevalent in the study of psychosis.

Went to the course leader to see what information should be included and GUESS WHAT- Its pass or fail - its not being graded

after that was said- I PUT THE BOOK DOWN

reading was no longer interesting! I think that my mind is goal oriented and in America I have drive because I am used to getting numerous assignments that in fact get graded-

here I write 2 papers and that's it- for each of my courses

FML- this is outrageous. I do not see how my teacher can justify if I have retained information with writing  a paper

YES i do realize that multiple choice is a cop-out for individually reading students open answers on exams but I would rather have those than just a measly essay. Well I wont say measly since they do require thought but I just don't see how 1500 word essay exemplify that I have learned material over the course of a term in school.

My flip is here and I decided to get it tomorrow after my presentation- if not I would just play with it and not study :/
