*Sigh of Releif*

It is done.

I just finished my final paper for my Bible class. Now all I have left, is to do my Social Research presentation on my experiment project (which is in about 1.5 hours), and then present what I came up with for my Bible paper (in 4.5 hours). I'm hoping to definitely be on the road before 4, and be at my home sweet home by 5.

I'm a little disappointed with myself in regards to my semester grades. I did decently by any one's standard (except perhaps my moms?). However, I know i could have done better. I think I'm looking at 2 "A"s and 3 "B"s. The one A is in my Human Biology class, which was a given as I've learned all this stuff many times before by now. The final in that class was shockingly easy too, the cumulative review part especially. The other A is in my social research class, which, that class was definitely easier than I feared it would be. While I didn't work as hard in that class as I probably could have, I do feel that I deserve that A. My Cognition class was just the opposite. I worked hard, studied often, yet I'm still getting a B-. It was a horribly tough course though, and since I know a girl in that class, who took it for a second time, studied to a ridiculous extent, and still got a C-, I'm not complaining. I'm also still pleased with the B I think I'm getting in my Bible class, it was tough material, and the tests and homework questions were remarkably tricky. As it is only a Gen Ed requirement, I'm not beating myself up over it. However, with a little more study time and effort, I'm sure I would have managed an A. As for my Global Christianity course, I'll be getting a B. The material wasn't that hard, and had I cared about it a bit more, an A would have definitely been mine. However, the class annoyed me in it's fakeness, and was a perfect example of all that I consider wrong with Christianity today. I'm very happy to be finished with it, though knowing my luck, that created and called class I have to take, will be like a continuation of it.

Next semester, and especially during J-Term, I do plan on doing much better. I'm taking a Human Development and Family Science course in January that I think I should have no problems getting an A in. I'm studying at least 1-2 hours every night, and Acing it. During the spring I have a course called Psychology, Science, and Technology. It sounds like it should be a basic Gen Ed course, and shouldn't be too terribly hard. However, I'm afraid that it will be one of those annoying classes, that I can manage to get into, and will therefore not work my hardest. So I'm being realistic and planning on getting a B there, but I'm thinking that I should be able to manage an A. The other psych course I'm taking in the spring is Statistical Methods in Psychology. We all know that I've got issues with math, but having taken intro the Stats, I'm thinking I'll pull off an A. As for Gen Eds, I'm taking Spanish, Self Defense, and Created and Called. Spanish should be a definite A for me, seeing how I took several years of it in high school and even middle school. So I've got no worries there. Also, self defense is not a graded class, it is strictly pass/fail. So I think I'll be passing. As for Created and Called, I think it's realistic for me to be hoping for a B there.

Despite whether I'm being realistic or not, I'm going to be working my tailbone off, and trying to get a 4.0. I'm making myself schedules, and sticking to them. I can do it, and I will do it. I just need to avoid getting caught in the trap of just not caring about certain subjects that seem to not be at all relevant to what I'm studying.

Anyhow, it's 9 now, so only 8 more hours until hopefully, I am at home.
I'm going shopping with an old buddy of mine too tonight, if things work out. Yay!
And if that doesn't happen, I'm spending the evening curled up on the sofa watching a movie with the little sis. Yay again!
