Summer school update, yo!

Well, I did my study abroad in Italy which was all kinds of amazing even if I didn’t get any A’s out of it… I got a B in art history, which I am just going to take and run because my professor was evil evil evil. But I knew this about him already since I had him before and got a D. So hopefully, HOPEFULLY this B can replace that D. I hope so. And I’m pretty sure I got a B in drawing… I didn’t put in enough time or effort to get an A. If I do get an A I will be very surprised.

Anyway, second summer session and I did really surprisingly well! I got an A in ComDes I (yeah, I had to retake it since I got a C and that’s not allowed to graduate). So that’s replacing my C which has done wonders to my GPA! And by some miracle I got a B in astronomy! I really do not know how I managed to pull that off since my grades were so unbelievably scattered. On the tests I had 2 C’s, 1 F, and 1 A. So I really have no clue how I managed a B. But again, I’m going to take it and run because I didn’t like that professor much either. I loved my ComDes professor though, she was freaking awesome. Seriously one of the best professors I’ve ever had.

Anyway… next semester will be interesting! Ceramics I, Advanced Typography, Book Design, and Health Psychology. I signed up for Industrial Psych also but it doesn’t seem to be showing up on my schedule but whatever. I won’t be too torn up if I’m not actually in it.

I leave in 8 days! I’m so excited about it!

Semester in a nutshell:

Art History – Did really well at the beginning and kind of lost it towards the end. Got a B.

Multimedia – My professor was a total douche. I got an 89 and he wouldn’t give me the point I needed to get an A. I redid my last project twice and then he finally gave me the point because I bugged him so much. So I got an A. He’s still a douche though.

Editorial Illustration – B. I could have possibly gotten an A but I was so frazzled at the end of the semester that I couldn’t bring myself to spend all the time redoing all my projects.

Adolescent Psychology – A!! I worked super hard for this grade. I did a bunch of extra credit and when that didn’t bring it up to an A, I studied my ass off to get the grades I needed on the last test and the final to get the A. It was kind of an amazing feeling.

Geology – C. It all went downhill after the first test. Just everything, even the lab which I had been doing so well in it. Turns out rock/mineral identification, though boring, is the easiest effing thing in the subject.

But overall a good semester. Best semester I’ve had since I transferred. So that’s something!
