Extra, Extra!

Sometimes I feel like I don't share enough pictures. So, here's a picture. :) This was taken Saturday night at the bowling alley. We were there celebrating some friend's 30th Birthdays. Of course, this is myself and hubs. After the bowling alley, we went over to Carinos and enjoyed some Italian Creme Sodas and the best Turtle Cheesecake ever. Yum.

Last night in class, we had another lovely quiz. Even though I know we didn't do just great on the quiz, I still feel somewhat at ease with it. The reason being, I knew more on this quiz than I did the last quiz. Also, I knew the formula for one of the correct answers, but the group didn't agree...so we changed it. Well, I ended up being right and although I'm sure we'll get 10 points knocked off for answering it wrong, I'm at ease because I knew the correct answer. Strange, I know. Anyways, class actually went better too. It was one of my easiest times in class yet. I was actually able to fully understand (without any doubts) the lecture. Thank God for those rare nights. Also...I am doing a butt load of extra credit - I'm still fighting my way through to try to get that A. I sent in another correction to a handout yet again this morning. Yay for me.

Anyways, nothing really new going on... I started a health challenge at work. I'm on a team and we're competing for money... We'll see how that goes! Also, the WCR clinics started last night and although I don't get to attend Monday nights due to class, I'm very excited that I'll get to be there on Thursday nights! I'll be running with the Intermediate group if things go right. :)

Now, a burning question.... Since I'm doing a lot of extra credit for this class, does this make me look like a teacher's pet? I don't think anyone else is doing the extra credit. I'm really just trying my best to make the best grade possible, but I feel like I'm trying to be a teacher's pet. That thought is driving me insane. Also, I'm not doing every chance of extra credit - just the one's that I know, without a doubt, how to do.

I don't think doing extra credit will make you look like a teacher's pet! If you want to do well with this class - and learn - then go for it! Rock on!

I think extra credit makes you look like a serious student.

I don't think you look like a teacher's pet because you don't suck up to the teacher...you're just doing extra work! Shows that you care about your grade!!!

Cute pic. I do extra credit all the time. I want to do well in my classes and shame on the other students for not taking it as serious. I think it shows your Prof you are serious about the class and about doing well.

I love seeing pictures of my blogging buddies, it's always nice to have a face to go with a name. That's why I like to post lots of pics of myself, not just because I'm full of myself. LOL

Aww, you guys make a cute couple.

Who cares what other people think of you. You are trying hard to do well and if others perceive it as being a teacher's pet, well, they are just jealous.

Glad last night's class went well for you.

I am doing the Women Can Run Clinic too! However, I am in the beginning group, and I am sure you are in the advanced. But one day I want to be in that group and fully believe I can do so! =)

Congrats on running the SW Half in October! That was my first venture into race world but I walked it. Very proud of myself though!!

Looking forward to getting to know you! I love a good blog, and yours looks very fun!

It won't make you look like a teacher's pet cuz you don't flaunt it. It shows the teacher that you care about getting as much as you can out of the class. If he thinks you're a teacher's pet, then he shouldn't be in the profession.

Cute picture of you and your hubby! Have you made it to the gym?

I'm sure some people would be like "Oh la la look at her doing extra credit" but I don't think it makes you look like a teacher's pet at all...you're just doing what you gotta do for the grade!
