The letters that brought about happiness and sweet relief

To Prof. Peter S.

I am writing this letter in a really distressed state. I was just now checking on my grades in all of my
classes And I was flabbergasted by my Physics grade. I really am not sure if I calculated it correctly. So if
it is not too much trouble do you mind informing me of my grade as of now? I would gladly come to your office
hours if need be.

The letter he wrote back

Hi Yvette (Is it weird that him writing my name made me feel important? Kyaaaa! The professor knows my name!)

You currently have a B . As I mentioned in class today, this is a PROJECTED
grade assuming that your future homework scores are the same as your past homework
scores, your future exam scores are the same as your past exam score, etc.
Therefore, the first midterm exam has a lot of weight in this projection.
You can improve your grade by doing better, ESPECIALLY on the exams.
You've been doing well in the lab and pretty well on the homework, and have 100%
in the participation category, so keep up the good work on those. :)

I hope that helped explain it. (I do NOT require 90% for an A, 80% for a B, etc.)

Regards,
Peter S.

And I happily wrote:

Thank you a lot Professor!!!! A big frown just turned upside down. I will keep up and improve my performance in your class.

I was truly happy so much so that I got a 10/10 on my Chem pre-lab assignment.

Naul's Memory of the wind

Upon my first exposure to the video (on Mnet) with out subtitles, I thought: the guy in the uniform was a Japanese invader.  Japan was bombing Korea. ( I thought of this only because i remember Japan having to do something with bombs. Like Hiroshima; only I switched it around and Japan was doing the bombing. The guy and his daughter were playing and the bombs started approaching. He ran with his daughter but the bombs were faster and the guy in the uniform were getting closer. A bomb came really close and the guy used his body to shield his daughter. (Not really plausible seeing as the human body is not that strong.) Then the Japanese soldier was passing by and aw the little girl and had pity on her. then he ended up liking her so he married her. (Its very illogical because he doesn't age. And I doubt the little girl would have willingly agreed to marry someone whose race, nation help bring about her fathers death.) The Soldier is sexy jumping of his horse; maybe the reaso...

Fangirling's blurry line

Hey bubblies. Fangirling is such a rush of adrenaline. When your "bias" appears somewhere or is recorded doing something cool or what on the ever; uber "kyaaaa" or other girly excited sound (p.s. I have actually "kyaaaaa!"ed while fangirling, lol)  Its all cool and dandy till it passes a line. That line is crossed when we follow them after spotting with a in hand pointed them recording what we aren't sure they would have liked publicized. Its like paparazzi only with guerrilla tactics. Everybody could whip out a camera, kindly ask for a signature or picture or and follow you around without your say so. Yeah, nothing bad is said. In fact, a lot of [idol]ization goes on (didja catch the pun? huhuhuhu).  But still, being filmed when you didn't intend on it can be stressful. So lets be fan-persons (boys and girls) who are respectful of the other person's feelings, bias or otherwise. Let's not trigger their fight or flight mechanisms,...
