3 days in and I am going to do my semesterly predictions followed by how right or wrong I was about my classes last semester (see With 14 days left, I present…). I don’t mind my classes, my work schedule is a bit more balanced but we’ll see. And honestly, I think I might just survive this one. It feels good to be back in school. I missed having something to do, I missed having people around me and most of all I missed feeling like I was a part of something. I had a rough december that I wish I could change but I can’t so all I can do is move forward. Here’s what my semester looks like:
This semester:
French 212 – probably going to be similar to 211 (same prof) some challenge, some easy, mostly comfortable but a decent amount of work. Goal: B
Stat 151 – I haven’t had a lab yet but the lecture is decent. Examples may be hard to follow but we’ll see how it goes. Goal: C+
PEDS 293 – I honestly am not sure how I feel about this one. I haven’t had a lecture yet but I did previously drop this class at MacEwan when I was sick and had to drop an entire semester. Goal: B-
ENCS 271 – As far as sciences go, I think this will be best I can do. I like lectures, I think I need to learn better note taking skills but other wise, it is good. Goal: B-
Last semester’s results if anyone cares:
CHRTC 380 – If I could turn back time, this class would not have been taken. I don’t know why but despite studying my ass off for that final, I ended up failing the final thanking my stars I went in with a decent grade and only ended up with a C-
CHRTC 250 – ended up having one of the best profs for this class after I switched classes. I LOVED this class. I didn’t understand some of it but I put in an honest effort and the prof was true to his word about grading us on effort not religion and faith. Result: A-
Drama 101 – Dropped this class. I don’t even know what my re-grade on my one assignment was and I don’t know what my grade on my midterm was, all I can say is this prof was hard to follow. She tried to make drama fun but she was a little too all over the place and when things are graded by TAs and you can’t get an answer to why your grade was what it was or how to do well on the next assignment, it is time to cut your losses. Result: W
Nutrition 100 – Average in that class was low, I dropped it before the midterm. The book is still in the plastic wrap. Why? Because I couldn’t tell you the way a protein breaks down or how many types of nutrients in each category there are. Interesting subject, too intense for a 1st year class. Result: W
French 211 – This went well. I probably could have done better had I studied the right things for the final. That being said I am not complaining. I actually learned a lot of the grammar rules I never did learn in Jr. High and Sr.High. I liked the prof as well, enough to take the french class this term with her as well. Result: B+
