Do well in school.

in the past i have done very well in college. i am at a new school though because i decided to move back to Seattle. what i mean by “well” is to enjoy school and make some new friends that our doing things with their life and also to get good grades/ learn/ gain knowledge. I have done that before where i used to live, now i just have to do it again.

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 begin classes on Monday and I’m psyched about it, but I want this year to be better than all the other years. I’m tired of being average.

This year, my grades have really gone down. School has become harder but the main reason is that I haven’t studied much at all. But at least now I’m motivated to get good grades again. We had a test today (on the last day of school!) and I was able to make myself study and memorise everything. I forgot how much fun it is to learn.

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!

I got results for GCSE modules i did in January and I was very pleased to see i got an A in English and a B in ICT. I hope that my end result for ICT will be an A, I’m going to have to work on it. I still can’t get over the A in english seeing as I got a D in the mock!!
Need to keep working hard, the exams are getting scarily close…

My extra credit wasn’t enough to bump up my C, which was very disappointing.

Semester so far has been pretty decent! I didn’t do so well on my first adolescent psych test but there is a TON of extra credit opportunities that I am going to take advantage of. And I totally did AWESOME on my first geology test! I got an 88 and the class average was around a 71! I feel super smart. The only test I don’t know how I did on was art history and I should find out some time next week. I feel really great about the multiple choice part of the test but not the essay. And I’m not sure how I’ve done on my current art projects, I’m supposed to find out about one of them next week.

Hopefully this will be a good semester and I’ll get mostly A’s! I’m shooting for A’s but B’s would be okay.

I am crossing this one off. I did fairly well, better in some of my classes then I thought I would, and one of my teachers recently changed my incomplete/F to a B+, which I am super excited about! Just have to do well on the CLEP test!

im 99.99 percent sure i got an A in my psych. 101 class!!!
sooo happy. PLUS my professor also said that he will write me a letter of recomendation for anything if ive ever needed it!
