wow.... been a while

so this semester wasn't all that exciting. i just didn't have much to write about. but i can give you a sum up of each along with my final grade.

bio wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it was going to be. every friday we had a small quiz, usually five questions. the first 4 i did really well, the rest... not so much. the prof would take the best 6 scores when he tallied the final grade. i wound up with five that were 80% or higher, don't know about my last quiz, but i'm pretty confident i did ok. i studied for my exams and did fairly well, a 21 out of 30. i know, it's only a 70%, but with bonus points i made a 27, 28, and a 28. the bonus points were the mercy points he gave everyone, whether the answer was right or wrong, on the questions the majority of the class got wrong. well, the final only took me 30 minutes, it was only 30 questions, and as my reward... i got to be a witness to four male streakers. my mom teased me by saying 'some girls have all the luck'. i really didn't consider myself all that lucky, but i had a good laugh about it. so my final grade in the class.... A!!!! can you believe it? well, i guess you can considering my exam grades were all As and i did B work or better on the 6 quizzes he considered.

my writing class was such a no brainer, really! we had to do a ton of reading, but there were no quizzes and only one project to do the entire semester. i didn't exactly wait until the last minute to write my paper or do the research, but i could have been done a lot sooner than i was. my biggest problem was my topic took a major turn. originally i was going to write about how someone becomes and art critic, why they have so much power, and why we rely so heavily on their opinion. well, after the research... the paper was more on why the art critic is a dying breed and the 'fights' between the average joe/jane and the critic. my mom is my toughest critic with my papers, she liked it and said it was entertaining. got a big, fat A for the class. are you surprised, cause i'm not.

online math! hated it!!!!! it wasn't really all that hard, but it did have it's moments. i did B work on the web assignments, which is surprising considering how many questions i left blank or half done because i just didn't understand. i told my mom, after a really tough assignment, that after three days and two extensions (the prof gave cause of web issues) i was just guessing and there was no point in finishing. i got a very low c on that assignment. i had two projects to do with a group, which is stupid when it's an online class. i was the group leader only because i sent out the initial emails, two people decided that group work wasn't for them, and the other two helped a great deal. my group, at least the ones that participated, got good grades on the assignments, despite our lack of understanding. i am pleased to say that i got a C+ for the class. i'll take it and enjoy the fact that i never have to take another math class again.

so, for the term i have a 3.433..... for the year, i have a 3.388, not too shabby i'd say.
