Today was a good day! I got the highest score and an A+ (which I never heard of those in college before) on my Business Communications class before! That would go on the fridge, but I need it to study for my next test!

"49/50 A+ Great Work" from my Communications test

In my Law class, we had to write a paper describing our roles in life and who our stakeholders are, as well as the definition of a business professional. This was 2 weeks ago, and this is my favorite class. She put the papers on the front table and said that if our paper was in that pile, we got full credit. If not, we needed to see her. While I was waiting to find my paper in the pile, she said she would just call off the names of the people she needed to see. Well, she called off a few names, then (hold your breath) she said "Mark Cochran." Ohhhhh boy, my heart was racing and I was nerved up, feeling about two inches tall.

I waited for her to get done telling the guy in front of me what she really wanted to read in the papers and what he left out, blah blah blah. Then I approched her and told her my name. She looked through the papers, pulled mine out, and looked at it. She replied, "Ah, yes. I just really wanted to meet you. Yours was one of the best papers I've gotten in a long time, from a very neat perspective. I just wanted to meet the person who wrote this." WOW! What a relief and a surprise. I was so shocked, I said thank you and shook her hand and walked away.

"Great Perspective" from my Law paper

How cool was that! That has been my favorite class all semester, she's an awesome professor who is very engaging and interesting to hear teach and talk. She is a corporate lawyer who knows her stuff. I really want to find out what other classes I need that she teaches!

So, all in all, not a bad day! Now, I need to go and print off some homework and watch the season premiere of "Two and a Half Men!"

The answer to the pop quiz: That is the site of the former Wickes Lumber property and several houses. Soon to be the Super Wal-Mart. Demo started two weeks ago and now all of the buildings are gone. The existing Wal-Mart is going to be turned into a Hobby Lobby about a month after Super Wal-Mart opens in September, 2009.
