So this semester, I took a total of 16 credits, finishing off the basic requirements for my majors. The classes were: Money and Banking, Intro to Linguistic Anthropology, Econometrics, Intermediate Macroeconomics, and the Expository Writing 1 course I’ve been putting off forever. The courseload was heavy, but I managed to get As in all the courses except Money and Banking, where I got a B+. I’m a bit pissed off at myself about that; I had put off looking at the last 4 chapters covered until the weekend before the final and then forgot my books in Boston that weekend, so I didn’t get to even look at the chapters! It’s a miracle that I did as well as I did just winging the exam; I’m so incredibly lucky there was a lot of overlap with my Intermediate Macroeconomics course. So in September, I had a 3.136 GPA and surviving this semester with a semester GPA of 3.906 has brought it up to a luscious 3.269. Next semester I’m going to be taking 12 credits and finally finishing off Faunal Analysis (from the Fall 2006 semester, the D needs to be replaced to reflect that I finished the last 1/3 of the course). If I get As in the 4 3-credit courses that brings my GPA up to a 3.3453, but if I also manage to bring up the Faunal Analysis grade to a B then I end up with a 3.3725. A 3.5 is surprisingly possible as long as I continue to get As in the rest of my courses and retake Intro to Cellular and Developmental Biology.
