maybe syntax will be easier from now on

So my professor said that syntax will get more difficult for some of us while it'll be a piece of cake for others because it's going to be more mathematical. I'm good at math and I think mathematically so this is great news. All those people who did great the first half of the semester might not do so well this second half. Since I didn't do so well in the first half, maybe I'll do better in the second half. I don't want to jinx myself or anything or have any high expectations, but I really, really hope that things get easier.

Now kinship on the other hand... omg, our final paper... I have no clue what to write about. I'm scared just thinking about it. *sigh* I can never be happy with all my classes. When I'm upset about kinship, syntax is going well. When syntax isn't going well, kinship is kicking me in the butt. And phonetics, the class I'm doing the best in because I haven't gotten anything less than a 96%, is so fun and way easy. He guarantees that we'll all get at least a B in the class because if we get anything lower, he'll let us retake quizzes and rewrite stuff. How nice... but not fair that I'm doing so well that I won't be able to take advantage of that. :( There will be an extra credit thing coming up in syntax... I hope it won't be too hard. I really need it after that disasterous score on the last problem set. I think she's either being nicer to me or treating me like a baby after I did so poorly on the last problem set. I emailed her some questions on our current problem set and she used a lot of encouraging remarks like "GOOD JOB!" and "EXACTLY."
