I checked my grades today, I got an A on my Social Science test. I know I keep saying it, but school is so much different this time around. I'm finding myself concerned that I got a 92% on a test instead of a 100% opposed to being concerned because I almost got a D but not quite because I was 1% less than 60%.
The rest of my Social Science class is doing really bad. I don't understand why. All the material we need, we get from our notes and she is really good at writing notes on the board. Or, if you just read the chapters assigned, all the test material is there as well. On top of that, she's actually a PhD and a pretty good teacher. She shows us interesting and relevant information. On the first test I got 62/70- an 89%. The class average was about 36/70 which is a 51%. This test I got 66/70- a 92%. The class average for this test was even worse, about 34/70, a 49%. On the last test my 89% was the highest. I wonder if my 92% is going to be the highest this time around? I wonder, since the class is doing so poorly, if she'll curve it? I kinda hope so, only for my own selfishness.
I've discovered flashcards. They're so handy and easy to whip out! I can study on the train or bus instead of staring out the window. I feel dumb because I never tried them before.
I'm going to wait until next year, or at least next semester but I'm thinking about switching my major. Sociology, anthropology and political science all really interest me. I'm also wondering how I'd like social work. I don't think I want to be a counselor...I'd rather do lab/research work. Somehow, the idea of me counseling other people seems like a really, really bad idea. I'm too fucked up and I'm pretty sure most people don't think like me...any advice I give only works for me and the way I'd go about things. Most people don't take roundabout ways.
I have a job interview on Tuesday at 4:45. I hope I get the job. I'm sick of being a house-husband. Speaking of, I have to get laundry done.
