    I have 3 semesters left and am sitting at a 3.85 right now. I want to keep it here or perhaps raise to 3.9.

    Last semester, 3.817, cumulative 3.781. I find it funny that I actually care.



    Three finals down, one to go. 3 years ago
    Ok, so I know I haven’t written any entries on this goal at all this semester. There are several reasons for that…
    • Since I’m studying abroad, my GPA from this semester doesn’t actually affect my overall GPA at GW. All I need is a C average for credits to transfer.
    • The classes here are, for the most part, a joke compared to my average classes at GW.
    • Compared to my professors at GW, the professors here have pretty low expectations.

    Basically, I haven’t had to do any real work here, haven’t really had to study much, and still have ended up impressing my professors without trying. Of course I still stress out come finals, but that’s normal.

    I only need a C average here (I’m not sure I could get a C average if I tried), but since I do plan on applying to grad school at some point and I doubt they’ll brush off an academically poor semester abroad, I did actually put some effort into my classes. Occasionally. I got better than a C average anyways.

    So yeah, three finals down, one more to go, on Thursday afternoon. Woooo!

    Oy. 3 years ago

    DONE with finals. Finally. Praise the Lord.
    This past week has been exceptionally hectic.
    Quick rundown of my week and finals…
    French: Not particularly happy with how I did on the final.
    International Orgs: I think I did fine though I probably didn’t do as well as I did on the midterm. It would be hard to do as well as I did on the midterm anyways, I got the only 100% in the class for the midterm. Kinda set the bar too high for the final.
    Econ: Should have studied more. Again, I probably did fine, though not as well as on the midterm.
    Honors: Holy cow, I just churned out a 21 page paper in like three days. It wasn’t even hard to make it 21 pages. I could have written a lot more. That was probably the first paper I’ve written that I could see turning into something like a thesis. I was writing right up to the deadline though, so I didn’t have a chance to go back through and do a decent edit of the thing, which is bad. That means that stupid grammar mistakes and other stupid little things I tend to do while writing stayed in the paper. Not to mention that my printer was out of black ink, so I turned in the paper in olive green, and it was 10 minutes late because the color took so long to print out, and it was wet because I didn’t realize it was raining outside. Oops. Eh well, my professor’s cool, it should be fine. I edited another paper for that class today, fixed the stuff my professor commented about, and turned it back in. That was the official end to my semester.
    Linguistic Anth: Me and two of my friends in the class studied our asses off. I was actually pretty happy with how I did on the exam, especially one of the essays I wrote. How I actually did will depend completely on what kind of a grader he decides to be – I would probably get an A with any normal grader, but he’s a rather picky grader, plus he grades to bell curves. I could rant for a long time on bell curves, but I won’t.

    Anyways, I am officially DONE for the semester! In keeping with my own established traditions, I’m not checking my grades until I get home. I’m just much less stressed that way, and if I get a grade I’m not happy with I can deal with it a little better at home than I can at school.

    I am now 5/8 of the way through college. Scary.



    Two tests and two papers to go. 3 years ago

    Ugh. Between the French final this morning, and the inevitable disaster that is LinguisticAnth on Friday, I may have to relinquish my hopes of a 4.0 semester.

    Without breaking into another rant, may I just say that I really hate/can’t understand professors who try to make their grades follow bell curves? Ooooohhh, the evil that is the bell curve.



    Classes have ended!! 3 years ago

    Classes have FINALLY ended, and I have made it through this week! {dance of rejoicing}

    The International Orgs final went all right, I wasn’t completely satisfied with it but I haven’t spent much energy worrying about it since I took it. I figure I have other things to worry about. My Honors presentation went surprisingly well, considering I made up the presentation in the hour before class. I’m not quite as worried about that paper as I was before, although I still have no idea when I’m going to produce a 20-page paper in the next week. My French oral exam also went much better than expected. Now I just have to take the final and I’m done with my language requirement!! {more dance of rejoicing}

    After yesterday’s IntlOrgs exam and presentation, I took the rest of the day off from work completely, which was great. I really needed a day like that. The only sleeping for 4 hours before waking up for class this morning I didn’t need, but taking the evening off yesterday to just have fun with my friends was worth it.

    Anyways, schedule for this week:

    Saturday: Christmas caroling and cookie baking and parties galore. It’s doubtful that much work will get done.
    Sunday: Last ballroom class :(, a possible date {gasp!}, Mass, then hopefully much studying.
    Monday: Last piano lesson and a flute choir concert.
    Tuesday: French final.
    Wednesday: Day of frantic studying and paper writing.
    Thursday: Econ final {shudder} and 20page Honors Paper O’ Doom due {repeat of shudder}.
    Friday: LinguisticAnth final, with 2 page takehome essay due at the time of the final {shudder once more}.
    Then I’m DONE!

    The end is in sight…
