Real life-ism
It has been a while seince I have posted about anything in my life. It isn't that much isn't happening. It is more the opposite. Been busy as hell with school, and family, and girlfriend, and her family, and more school... yeah... busy.
What can I say... It is finals week starting tomorrow till about a week or maybe two from tomorrow. This is where I study like a possessed insane student, and try to eeck out the best grade I can on my final exam to make that last push on to my grade. Yet one may wonder... where do I stand now?
I have recently looked, and it seems that I am sitting at a rough B average in every class.
Last week I did my group project in accounting, and I think we finally did a damn good job depsite my earlier misgivings. It is a sizeable part of my grade, and I got a 90% on it. Yet I had done a bit poorly on other parts of my accounting clas, and so at best I am sitting on a middle B. I need to study for accounting most, and it's final is this upcoming friday. I shall study hard, but wish me luck. I may still need it!
As for economics. I am also doing well. I have collected up all my homeworks and my 3 tests I have so far. They shall become my study guide for the final exam. The instuctor said all the questions on there will either be drawn directly from those sources, or they will be very very much like the questions from those sources. It is like holding a book of it's own just about. I need to find a day to sit down and go through it all. However, I have till the wednesday of next week to study. It may well be my last final exam. All multiple choise too. I was roughly getting a high to middle B, and I expect to maintain that with the final exam. I am optimistic about this class.
Asian Pacific American Studies. It has been an odd class, but interesting. So far as I know I am getting either a low A or a high B. In short I am doing very well. This class may prove to be difficult to study for, but on the other hand it isn't a comprehensive final exam. It will only cover info that we went through since after the last major exam given. It will be a combo of multiple choice, short answer, and one short paragraph essay. Bleh. I am not sure when the final exam will be, but hopefully I will find that out today.
Lastly my computer programming class for Visual Basic. I know this stuff. I have know this stuff for years. I learned very little from this class. I am a tech computer geek. I attended classes and listen for any style differences to be expected. Yet when other classes get more hectic, then this is the first one I stop doing. The homeworks are only worh 1 point each... out of 1000. There is only like 10 of them or so. They help to teach concepts, but in and of themselves they are not worth much of anything. It is the exams that are huge. About 300 points each or more. The first one wasn't as good as I have liked. The second one was nearly a perfect A. This last one... I can't see getting anything other than an A on. Yet now that I have time, I am going to look over the practice projects in it. Do them so I may have a bit of familiarity with what they covered. It will likely be useful to some parts of the test. This class has been a solid if not high B. I expect no less from the final exam. This was my easy, blow off, yawn, and get an A class.
So things are going very well at school. Yet I am no less determined. Next semester will be a challenge because I had in part or in whole taken all the classes I have this semester. Now I move on to new things.
Unix Operating system class: I expect this to be my easy class.
COM100: Communications. Basically an intro to public speaking. I expect this to be hard because I am not a "stage person" or :speech person".
MAT210: Brief Calculus. I expect to be killed by this class. I have never been good at calc.
Micro Economics: I decided to attend the class taught by the same teacher that taught my macro economics class. I have grown to like his style of teaching, and it would help to make this class more familiar even though I have never tackles this subject before.
So I am ready for a new semester, and I have a plan of sorts. I just wonder how I will fit my life around this new schedule. It may well make some parts of my life tougher then they used to be. I may not be able to get to see Sarah as much, and I hope she doesn't mind this fact. My policy has been "School first" ever since I started this endevor. I worry about it a bit, but I am pretty sure she understands being a working college student raising a son. She knows the importance of it. Yet when the chips are really down... I sometimes wonder if it is something she wants to accept. Especially since I have been around so much this last semester. I dunno... I guess I will have to wait and see, and put a little faith and trust in her. I have to keep moving ahead, or I will not be worth anything... to anyone...
I guess I will write about it more later.
Catch you all later!
