So, got my grades for the lamest semester ever. Lame as in I should've aced every class but since I was only taking 13 hours I let myself get incredibly lazy. To steal the break down idea from Sarah, here goes...
A in Nonfiction writing. Really not a surprise because my prof absolutely loved my writing and because this is the class I participated most in. Plus, if you hand in an essay you are pretty much guaranteed an A because you can really give an F to someone for trying, can you?
A- in Films and Screenplays. I'm really quite pleased with this considering it was my least favorite class and I always felt like I had no idea what I was talking about. I suspect my prof took pity on my for being the only non-film major in the class.
A- in Social Scientific Foundations of Communication (pre-communication for us normal people)- Frankly, I was absolutely shocked by this grade considering I got a B on one exam and a C+ on my last two exams. I guess getting a 100 % on both papers really brought that grade up. I have a feeling the my T.A. had something to do with this because she absolutely adored everyone and wanted us to succeed, but I really am amazed. I'm incredibly happy too because this makes it that much easier for when I apply to the Journalism program, although I think that being an honors major means I'm automatically accepted into the program the minute I apply....oh well.
B+ in Writing in Spanish- This grade I'm actually a little peeved about. I think that I worked my hardest in this class out of all of them and if I had just tried a little harder I really would've gotten an A, or at least an A-. Basically the only reason I'm really annoyed is that if I had gotten an A or A- in this class, I would've gotten straight A's for the first time in my life, and, well, that's just pretty damn exciting.
S in Beginners Jogging- basically I passed...YAY!
I'm absolutely in love with being home for an entire month and I don't feel the need to rush back to school, but I am a little bit excited about the classes I'm taking. I'm not excited about the speech class I'm taking, especially since Melanie just finished taking the class and it seems like a lot of work, but I'm taking American Classics and Victorian literature, which means that I get to read a lot of intelligent type books, which I haven't done in a while and I'm quite looking forward to. However, I am not looking forward to the essays that are sure to come along with the reading of those books.
I am also taking the pre-journalism class as well as a journalism law class which aren't incredibly interesting because one I have already taken and the other I'm not particularly interested in, but I have to take them for the major, so I might as well try to enjoy them. I'm only taking 16 hours which is kind of a bummer because I really want to load the hours on so that I have the hopes of graduating in four years, but I really should just accept by now the fact that it's going to take me a little bit longer.
At this point in my life I want to be a book editor when I graduate from college, but really that changes every few months. My parents want me to go into work with my neighbor one day so that I can actually rule out the idea of doing Public Relations, but I am of course putting that off. I feel like I should just up and do a 180 on everyone and decide to go to law school or something...yeah that's definitely not happening.
Right now I can just hope that I find a bearable, if not enjoyable internship this summer, preferably one that pays decently, or at all, with minimum amounts of stress...as if that will ever happen.
I hope that everyone has a most enjoyable holiday and a Happy New Year!
