Feb. 17th, 2010 10:36 pmUm, so I kind of got 101% on my Linguistics test. Yay!
Seriously, this is a huge deal for me because that class is basically like one giant WTF? moment for me, although it's not always for the same reason. Like, half the time the professor is like, "To turn a declarative sentence into a yes/no question, move the auxiliary to the front of the sentence," and I'm like, WTF, I know, because I grew up speaking English; is this first grade? But then the other half of the time the professor is like, "Okay everyone, do a tree diagram of a passive sentence," and everyone starts diagraming, and I'm like, WTF is a tree diagram? Should I know this? Are they having secret class sessions without me?
But, as I was telling my mom, apparently knowing what's going on isn't really important in this class because it really isn't holding me back. Because, yeah, 101% on the first exam. Which is just kind of awesome.
