Oh Well......

This semester is coming to a close and I can truthfully say good-ridance.  This semester has been aweful for quite sometime now.  If it wasn't a bad test, or a pressing assignment, someone at CGSA didn't do what they were supposed to do which made me feel like I should do it.  Don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming anyone for not doing their job, but I can kinda understand why things didn't get done sometimes.  

I think I took on too much this semester, and my grades and sanity have suffered for it.  I was looking at my classes earlier, trying to predict my GPA for this semester.  I thought that it would be around a 3.6 to a 3.8, but it looks like it will be more like a 3.4. XP  Then I started to figure out why it was going to be so low, and I determined that they were minor reasons.  I understood the material, did well on the major assignments, and will probably do well on the finals.  In my organic class, I failed to realize that his questions were coming straight out of a practise packet that he gave us at the beginning of the school year until before the last test.  I made 70s on the first two tests but pulled a 90 on the third test.  Then in history, I lost track of some of the minor assigments which will cause my grade in that class to be a B instead of an A. 

I guess I'll just chalk this semester up to being a learning experience.  I shouldn't try to take on as much as I did this semester ever again.  I envy those that can run off of 4 hours of sleep and do what seems to be impossible in one day.  Those people that take 20+ hours and can still have a high GPA just mystify me.  I'm definitely not one of them.  Oh well, I'll just save these lessons until next year.

Oh Happy Day

And I thought that today was going to be a bad day.  I was wrong.  YAY!! :)

I got my test back in thermo today and found that I scored an 80.  I didn't know what I was doing half the time on that test, but i must have known part of what I was doing.  The class average was a 60, ouch. After that, I had to get ready for my next test in Organic 2.

I went to my BS history class and studied there.  Then I went to take the test which wasn't that bad actually.  I'm guessing that I made somewhere around a 95.  Today hasn't been that bad, and the only thing left to do now is meet up with my group in thermo and work on our project.  It seems like some of the other group members have already made some headway, so it shouldn't be that bad. 

Life is good. 

FML

Argggggggggggg!!!!  That's all that I can say. My test in thermo just ended, and it was horrible.  I think I might have gotten a 65 on it.  :(

It's not like I didn't study either.  I started studying a week ago, and I made sure to cove the Rankine cycle, just like Dr. Kitchens said.  I understood the material too, but this test was killer.  It was confusing and the answers didn't make sense.   HEAT CANNOT FLOW FROM A HOT TO A COLD AREA.   I worked that problem out three times and got the same answer.  I think Dr. Kitchens made an error on that problem.  He did on the last test, so it wouldn't surprise me.  And I thought that my life was going well since I got a test with a 98 back yesterday.   Oh well, chalk it up, but the board is turning rather white.
