Great way to use some spare time plus what an excellent way to relax and unwind a bit during the day :) <br /><br />I think we've all probably people pleased at some point or another even if it wasn't something we agree with. I find I do it with certain friends when it comes to politics. I won't necessarily agree with them but rather than start a long debate I'll just nod as they ramble leading them to believe I agree with them!Sunnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382696142548095604.post-30290551179102461222017-03-08T18:42:34.549-07:002017-03-08T18:42:34.549-07:00Ha your comment about letting others assume what t...Ha your comment about letting others assume what they wanted cracked me up. You may not like what you did but I say you utilized the situation at the time. <br />As far as decisions go I think taking a hike between classes is a perfect one!Tricia @ MissSippiPiddlinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382696142548095604.post-21429065432513514092017-03-08T18:42:26.505-07:002017-03-08T18:42:26.505-07:00I understand why you did what you did in class.

What would've been tough if you did it and felt okay about it but I think your remorse is enough punishment so feel free to let it go. <br />Love those pics. Lunchtime hikes sound like the most amazing way to spend a 2.5 hour break.

A teacher should remain unbiased and really the students should not know what their personal opinions are. Sadly, this does not always happen.Confessions of A Mother Runnerhttp://confessionsofamotherrunner.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382696142548095604.post-84934738126072379872017-03-08T18:42:24.506-07:002017-03-08T18:42:24.506-07:00Volunteering at a race is such a fantastic way to ...Volunteering at a race is such a fantastic way to give back to the sport that we love so much ;-) Yes, it can be difficult not pinning on the race bib, no doubt, but I have come to realize races/events benefit best from having experienced racers in the volunteer ranks. The experienced racers (who are missing out on all the action) are the ones who truly know how to make the participants feel like royalty because they've been participants themselves.

But I really don't think I deserved it.<br />Plus, the part 2 of that same paper that we had to rewrite, she graded mine today and gave me nearly and equally low score. Which wasn't deserving, so I think I'll go talk to one of the other instructors when she's not around. If it wasn't obvious she just hates the topic I wouldn't but honest I don't think I am deserving of two low scores in a row especially when I've gotten 100% on everything else.<br />But you are right the ultimate result is to finish and I will, but I'm not going to compromise much, I have a voice and I have no problem using it when needed if I decide she's continually unfair toward me!Runaway Bridal Plannerhttp://runawaybridalplanner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3382696142548095604.post-30486374161461484622017-03-08T18:42:22.480-07:002017-03-08T18:42:22.480-07:00That is awesome you volunteered in Texas last Sat ...That is awesome you volunteered in Texas last Sat too!!

It is a shame that we (as society) are often put in situations by superiors (instructors or others) in which we have to do a job just to please instead of being ourselves. I know you are not happy about what you did but think of it this way, Your ultimate result at the end of this is to get a passing grade and earn the degree. Do what you need to do to get to the end girl!

It was my first time running that marathon, and I didn't expect so many rolling hills. I'm glad you got to volunteer--thank you!. It was a really organized race. :) Btw, there was a tarantula out on the race course on Saturday, too. I was shocked at how big it was. Would NOT want to step on that!Julie P.noreply@blogger.com
