Tonight was the last night of orientation, and i have to say my classmates turned out better than expected. Most of them are older, married, with children, and careers. There is actually quite a bit of people from San Diego out here. The last two days has been mostly speakers. They all open up their talk by congratulating us first, then explaining how difficult life will be for the next 3-4 years. They even make sure to point out how it will be extra difficult for the night students.
Tonight we took a writing diagnostic. It is a test to gage our grammar and punctuation skills. I scored a solid 78%, which was 69 out 88 questions correct. Apparently i don't know what a dangling modifier is . . . and i don't. My use of commas is also suspect. I should probably add to that list pronoun usage, quotation marks, and parallelism (whatever the hell that is).
But the point where i did excel was on VERBS!!! YAY BOY!!! I dominated verbs. Perfect score. Verbs came up, i put'em down.
