> --usually, so you mean?? LOL just kiddingROFL! I hadn't realised what I'd implied! I just stick the word 'usually' into sentences to cover myself. But I've never graded a paper on the basis of student appearance, I swear!
> >>Seriously, though, I’m sure he doesn’t think you’re an airhead!

> thats probably debatable lol, when he said I missed the point i said...yeah I thought I had :-), and he looked up ....and I then said I just didnt know how to encorporate *this* into it.....he was silent and said no...what I mean is you were suposed to.......... I do need to follow up becaseu those dots are all I got LMAOAh yes. The dreaded dots. I think that happens all the time. I know it used to happen to me in therapy, when my T would say something relevant and profound and then I couldn't remember it an hour later. I'm sure it's the same for students.
> -- I really started to worry that he thought my paper was fluff and with me standing there sounding ditzy and (I had just got off the phone 5 min earlier...they had yelled at me) looking a little possibly distracted i thought it was most likely a pity grade. But Im sure they are required to grade under guidlines too :-)
I'd be surprised if anyone got an A as a pity grade. I can almost imagine giving someone a C instead of a D out of pity, but most teachers only give out As where they're genuinely deserved.
> But thank you thank you! I feel better, maybe it was good work....maybe...
I'm certain of it!
