Feb. 5th, 2008
It is February 5th. It's been almost 2 weeks since I finished my exams. Why don't I have my grades for History and Historiography and Jewish History? In terms of Jewish history, all that's left is the exam, which Prof. Cohen said he was going to look at that day when he gave me my paper back (last Tuesday I think it was). It's been a week since then! Come on, give me a grade already!
(Meanwhile, I got an A on the paper of Neusner being wrongness. The moral of the story is when in doubt, dis Nesuner.)
Okay. Maybe I'm actually apprehensive about History and Historiography. But I might as well just get the finding out over with. I'm seeing Dr. Machinist tomorrow about my study card anyways. I can just imagine the conversation going like this:
R: Hello Dr. M, here's my study card [gives him the study card]
Dr. M.: [looks over study card] Rachel, I don't think you should be taking any classes this semester. I can't believe you handed in such a[n] horrible final. You should be kicked out of Div School. How did you get in? How did you graduate from Penn?
R: [hangs head in shame]
It won't actually happen like that, since he's nice, but I still am afraid that my final gave him reason to think I'm an idiot. 4.5 hours, and it wasn't enough for me to write something good. I hope I never have a final that hard again.
