I can still get good grades this semester.
I know I'm a little bit obsessive about this crap but you can just indulge or ignore me.
Physiology
I have 214.5 points out of 255 so far. That is an 84% for those of you without calculators or care. There are 100 points left to earn. If I get them all, that brings me up to an 89. Since I get an extra 3% added on for going to my discussion all the time and filling out the course evaluation, I can still make an A-. That is the goal. I just need to get my actual grade up to an 87. I don't know if that'll happen, though - I'll need a 95 on my last test and on the homework (they're worth the same.) But it's still possible! I will do it!
Anatomy
Currently I'm scraping up a measly 78% and this was really pissing me off. I need at least a B to keep my average up high enough, and that is a C+ ... or so I thought. I recently found out that the final is 100 questions, graded out of 80. I also found out that there's some kick ass curve. It obviously depends on how my class does, but last year an A- was 84-89. If it's similar I can go as far as 78-82 and still get a straight B. Therefore, I'm not worried about this class anymore. Apparently my half assed efforts are exactly what I needed. If I get three quarters of the test questions right, as I've been doing, I'll get a 94 on the final. Ha.
In other excellent news, I finally cleaned my room up. I even vacuumed. It's not a Kirby job or anything, but it'll do. I can sit on my floor and study, and walk to my bed without stepping on things in the dark. Bonus. I'm even doing laundry, because I wasn't home enough when I was home to do it there.
