Another long week ends with no weekend in sight

This has been a long week. Actually it's been long because of all the work last week. It seemed like the all the exams and assignments that I had to do last week would let this week be a little easier. That was not the case. I've actually started to fall behind on my reading. What's worse is that in the two classes that I thought would be kind of a cake walk, English and Accounting, I'm doing B+ work. I know it sounds like I'm just bitching about nothing. When you consider that most people would be happy with grades like that, why am I being such a stickler.

Well, when you consider that here in Bermuda College a grade of 80% is considered an A-, then a B+ is in the upper seventy percentile. From what I remember, 70-79% was C work, maybe a B-. But then there's also the feeling that I could have tried harder because then it would have shown. I was expecting A's in all my classes from the start. Over the summer I expected two A's and I got two A-'s instead. Disappointing. I don't want to repeat that.

On another note, my Web Design classes are going well. I'm understanding just about everything being covered and the work I'm handing in is likable. Well, by me at least. Here's the lab that I handed in earlier this week.

Sleep Awake mock-up for ECM1120


We had to design a page in Adobe Fireworks using all or most of the techniques that we've learned. I originally chose a crowdsourcing themed page, but decided that a lucid dreaming one would allow me to be more creative with the design. What do you think? I know it's amateurish, but what did you expect? I'm an amateur. (1)
