Fall Semester 2012

Well, I'm pretty much ready for fall semester to start. I will have Philosophy, Italian, World Literature II, and Creative Writing. I'm also going to be working at the school part time as an English tutor. My former English professor and academic advisor is thrilled because he's always telling me how his new 1301 Composition students have no writing skills at all, apparently. So that's 19 hours a week when I'm not in class or studying. Also, Nicholas is working in a home school program this year so that should be interesting too.

I'm excited for this year. It will be my last year at SAC. If I wasn't going to Italy next May, I could have added another English class to this semester and graduated in December. However, I want to go to Italy so, graduation will be at the end of Maymester when we get back from Italy. I have a 3.25 GPA over all so if I can manage straight A's from now until the end of Maymester, I'll be able to graduate with honors at above a 3.5 GPA.

Woo Hoo!!!

So my Spring Semester grades have posted and I finished with 3 a's and 1 C giving me a semester gpa of 3.5. I'm
So happy! I have three weeks until summer session starts and then I'll be taking just the one biology class so I plan on working really hard to get an A.

All in all I am pleased with the semester grades.

End of Spring Semester

My one and only final of the semester has been taken so I am officially done with Spring Semester 2012. Now I just have to wait for grades to post an that could take a week from what I've heard. Ah well. I have four weeks to rest until Summer session starts and I get into Biology 1408. I'll be in class Monday - Thursday from 8am until 12pm. I'm actually excited. Only taking one class means I can devote all my study time to just Biology. Yay :)

I can register for fall semester beginning next week. Looking forward to that.

Final Exams are Coming...

Well, I'm walking all my finals except for Science and today I just completed a 20 page Final Exam review for that particular test. I have one more test (tomorrow), plus two project grades before the final exam. My hope is that these three grades, the test and the two projects, will get me a high enough C so that, if I make an A on the final, I might come out with a B.

I'll be taking Biology for Non-Science majors during Summer Session I. I may pick up another class in Session II but I haven't decided yet. We'll just have to wait and see.

Spring Semester is almost done

Final exams are the first week of May. I only have to take one of my four exams. I have A's in my Ethics and Religion classes and in my Speech class so I get to walk all three finals. Science, on the other hand, is killing me. I have a C. I need to make A's on everything else over the next three weeks so that I can either come out with a high C or a low B for the semester. 3 As and 1 B will give me a semester gpa of 3.75. 3 As and 1 C will give me a semester gpa of 3.5. Either will get me back into Phi Theta Kappa which I really want to do.

On another note. I have the best Dad in the entire world. He told me to go ahead and sign up for Summer Session I so that I could get my Biology class out of the way and not have to worry about having other classes to deal with while taking my science class. He's going to pay for the class for me. I love my Daddy so much. Hopefully I can work enough during June to make enough to sign up for a Lit course in Summer Session II. That will bring me that much closer to finishing my degree. I have completed 38 semester hours as of right now. I have 22 hours left to complete before I can graduate from SAC and transfer to either A&M San Antonio or UTSA, whoever offers me the best financial aid packet.

Wish me luck!

Down to five

Five weeks left of school... well four weeks really because the last week is all Final Exams. As of right now, I have a 95 in Philosophy of Religion, 90 in Ethics, 96 in Speech and a 74 in Science. I really need to get my freakin' Science grade up before final exams. At this point, I can probably get out of taking the final exam for Ethics and Religion both since I have A's in both classes. As for Science, it's not that I don't enjoy the class. I actually do. It's just... hard to remember all the damn terms. I'll be glad for summer break but, knowing me, I'll get two or three weeks into the summer and want to go back to class...

5 weeks into the semester

So far, so good... kind of. Science class is kicking my ass but I'm really trying to get into the swing of it. I was never good at science in high school and I figured and Earth Sciences class would be the easiest way to go. I was apparently wrong. *sigh* Not that I'm like failing or anything, but I've only got a C in the class at the moment. I really have to pass Monday's exam. Like... with an A or something...
