I recieved the grade for my essay (the one I posted earlier), and I am shocked that I got an A. I didn’t really think I wrote it out that well, I didn’t do anything that I talked about in my paper outline, and I didn’t find any reference material that was outside of the course book.

I don’t know if I should be pleased that I write better than I think I do, or be worried that my writing still won’t be up to snuff when I transfer. If I transfer.

I was not - and still am not - happy with this essay. Perhaps it is because I dislike the subject matter. California has never held much interest for me. I love Sacramento, and I love San Francisco, but California as a whole is not something I think about too much. And maybe that makes me small minded, or close minded. But I think more about where I want to live instead of where I’m living.

The next paper for this class is on the mis-management of California. I suppose I should get a start on it, if I’m going to write a paper that I like. I think this next one is due at the end of March.
