Speaking of acing classes, I had a one page paper due on what I wanted to get out of my new 7 Habits for Highly Effective People... class.
<SIDE NOTE>
Things you should know for this story:
- I have classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
- I really do pay attention
- Spelling has never been my forte ( I looked that one up. Forte)
So my professor gave us the assignment on a Tuesday and said it would be due Tuesday next week. Although I really could have sworn he said that Thursday. So I had mine done on Thursday but had to wait to turn it in till the next week. The next week rolls around and I pulled out my paper that I hadent looked at since I wrote it a week ago, and the first thing my eye go to is this sentence;
My dad is really into all things outside; running, biking, rock climbing, and hiking.. exc.
Because I wrote it, I automatically see what is wrong here. DOT DOT EXC. WHAT THE HECK IS THAT YOU SAY? exc is supposed to be etc for etcetera. I don't even know where the 2 dots came from. Only 2. I don't even know why I was using the word in the first place. When I saw it I knew it was wrong but I couldn't remember how to spell etc! So I crossed out with my pen the C on the end of exc and kept the 2 dots. I am not sure what my professor will think of me now... but I had to pass it in. I had a week to fix that mistake. I feel ridiculus. ..ex.
My lovely Aunt is dying my hair tomorrow. Maybe I'll post a picture. >> #lovelyandexcited
sadly I was spelling etc --> ect for half of this post. I just fixed it. I'm not too worried.
Okay I seriously just burst out laughing in my office!! So funny!
