Ventilation

I just looked at a grade for a 250 word posting on a management theorist. Given 3.5 of 5 points, I was savaged, nitpicked apart, for not formatting correctly. Little things, like an ampersand instead of "and" between the last names of two authors. Writing "Works Cited" above my citations, which is evidently MLA, not APA, terminology. Ah! I can't wait until I am out of this program! For now, all I can do is exercise greater caution with the submission of my next assignment and work hard not to take the criticism as a personal attack. It would be nice if she had found one good thing to say...nope, just criticism and point deduction.
On a happier note, it is still snowing here in Pittsburgh :-) And I have time, or am taking the time, to do a fair amount of recreational reading. Soon I have a phone date...
