Mon through Wed is the toughest time of the week for me. Dh is always traveling, and I have class on Monday and Wednesday. I also had a test in each one of my classes this week. I feel like I did really well on 2 of them, but made a 68% on my sign language test! The fractions got me! I just about lost it during my Women's Studies test today. We were absolutely crammed into this room for the test. I tried to scoot my desk away a little bit, but the floor was wet from this constant downpour we've had here, and I didn't want to drag my book bag through it. Anyway, the girls on each side of me were cheating so blatantly that I could barely concentrate on my own test! I finally told the instructor, but she said she didn't see it. Normally I don't tattle on people who cheat - it happens all the time, but they had to whisper and gesture OVER ME. Grrrrrrr......

YIKES...I hate cheaters!!! We had to sign an honor code at SMU and if you cheated..you were OUT no questions asked!

Glad you survived. Is it cold there? We've got the rain and it's dropped to maybe 60...

Yes, it's very cold here. Was in the 30s earlier today. I thought we were done with hot chocolate around here, but I made some for the boys after school cuz they were so cold.

Fractions are pretty subtle in sign language. You sign the numerator, drop your hand slightly, then sign the denominator. I feel really dumb for missing them, though. For instance, one was 1/4. I wrote 14. Well, the sign for 14 is totally different than 1 then 4. Just wasn't thinking.
Thanks for the Snickers. I really need a virtual one after all the Valentines candy we had around here!

Glad to hear you got through the toughest day's of your week. Bummer about the fractions test... it sounds confusing! LOL Too bad the instructor couldn't do something about the cheaters! I hate it when people cheat like that and get away with it... it's just not fair to those who worked hard and studied for it. Their really only cheating themselves though... :) Hope you have a good rest of the week! :)
