My Last Week

May 5, 2008

This is my last week of exams. I took my final Integrated Science exam on Friday (a week early) and it was graded today. I did not do well on it. I got a 75%. Eek! However, if I get full points on the rest of the stuff we have to turn in for that class (which I should) I’ll end up with a 91.2% - that’s still a 4.0 for this class! Can someone give me a w00t w00t? haha :-) So stoked about that! Today I have my departmental final for my History 211 class and my final exam for my Chem in Society class. I’m not exactly sure what I should be studying for the History final, but tomorrow I have to write a couple essays for my final exam in the class, so I’m gonna get working on that pretty quick. *deep breath* I need to kick the butt of these exams! For my history class I probably have a 3.0 right now. The department final is going to account for 10% of my grade, and the final exam will probably be about 30%. If I’m gonna get up to a 4.0 (don’t actually know if it’s possible), I have to ace both of these. As for my Chemisty class, I have something like a 95%, so I’m doing pretty good there. The tests are usually pretty easy, so if I study just a little bit, I think I should do well and be able to keep my 4.0. Well, I need to get some food and get studying. Wish me luck!!! :-) Love y’all!

So, there’s a boy… let’s call him Cute History Class Boy or CHCB for short. And there’s a girl, let’s call her Softball Girl (SG). When SG was handing out teacher review sheets in her History class, CHCB smiled at her and made eye contact. SG had not noticed CHCB before, and there was only one class period left in which she would be able to talk to CHCB, especially since she didn’t know his name and she was going to Cedarville in the fall. SG thinks that CHCB is very very cute, possibly interested in her and if he loves Jesus he could be a potential suitor. SG wonders if she should hand him a piece of paper on it with her name, number and the question “Do you love Jesus?” or if she should just be patient and wait until a man is MAN enough to take the risk to pursue her. Should SG furnish contact information or just sit back and take it easy? Of course, this story is completely hypothetical ;-)

Positive Post Tuesday- A.W.

April 1, 2008

Sometimes it’s the little things that really make a person great. Today, I’m saluting my Chemistry prof. She lectures us on the important stuff, she gives us chapter study guides, she puts study resources where we can access them, and she guides us through the labs if we need help. And most recently, she’s coming into the school several hours early, just so she can drop my exam off in the testing center as I won’t be able to be in class tomorrow due to a make-up softball game. When I say several hours early I mean it. Our class doesn’t start till 6. She doesn’t need to be in till 6. She’s dropping my test off by 10 a.m.! Most of my friends wouldn’t take the time out of their day to help me succeed like this, but she will. That’s an incredible sacrafice for someone who will have my attendance for less than 2 more months. While, in the long run, 8 hours may not have such a huge impact on someone’s life, it’s a pretty big sacrafice to make at any given moment. That is why A.W. gets the spotlight for my first positive post tuesday.

So, I’m pretty sure I just bombed my History exam. That makes me not feel so good. But I’m pretty sure I didn’t get less than a “C” on it, so that makes me feel less miserable. Also, I’m hungry - feed me!

I’m so happy that my exam is over with though! It feels so great to not have to study and worry about it anymore! Really, I’m just so wonderful right now (minus the hunger thing). Unfortunately, I haven’t gotten to chill with any of my friends today, and I haven’t even listened to much music. I’m sure I’ll get to listen to something before I head off to bed. I’m also hoping to chat with a friend of mine who said he “gives up.” Giving up could be a good or a bad thing. I’m not sure which his is yet.
