Rough and busy week!

 This week started out really rough! I got a C on a paper that I know deserved a B, didn't win the appeal or the opportunity to rewrite and the professor had the guts to tell us all in class that she doesn't have the time to teach us how to write an annotated bibliography! I explained to her during my appeal of the essay that an annotated bibliography is either short and sweet like she had stated in her instructions or a full paragraph with all the details and specific things that she thought she had conveyed in her instructions. Only after that did she step back and say that she would make it more clear before the group project one is due. Let's see if that actually happens! She absolutely hates my section because we actually bring our opinions into class and state them openly about how we want more diverse readings not just about Academic librarians and not just about Eurocentric topics! The best part is she is from Japan so she has real-life experience of living and working in that country but the US school system has brainwashed her into this Eurocentric robot of a professor! I am also in an amazing but difficult class called Asian American Youth Literature! That professor is absolutely amazing! If I wasn't working two jobs and taking a Python class this semester I would take her Teen Materials class after Spring break! She is also very understanding! She allowed me to have an extension on my book talk project because I had worked 15 hours 5 days straight the week before it was due and just didn't want to submit literal trash and get an F! She stated that she would rather have her students feel good about what they submit vs submitting on time. I just got her approval to include her name which is Dr. Dahlen. She has amazing resources for books (http://sarahpark.com/) and other types of resources to help educate yourself and children you work around or your own (https://padlet.com/readingspark/AsianAmK12Resources). I have a group project due by Friday at midnight and have to also get a group presentation done for Monday and then present Monday evening over Zoom! I hate presenting but especially over Zoom because you're just doing it into the void because everyone is muted and talking in the chat and you still get the notifications about it! That should be a feature that we as presenters should be able to mute and unmute while presenting but I don't work for Zoom so again I am just posting into a void to right now no one!
