Extra Credit.

So I vaguely remember some of my high school teachers refusing to give us extra credit because "they don't give extra credit in college."

I got a 68% on my biology lab final. It dropped my overall grade to 104%.

Extra credit is alive and well in college, my friends. Alive and well.

Tip of the Day: If extra credit is ever offered, DO IT. It will probably help you a lot.

But since the semester is over and this is slightly irrelevant now, a better tip of the day would be to enjoy the month or so off!

Les jeux sont fait.

The games are done. That's a really good book we read in French last year, but that's not what I'm talking about.

I'm done with class. Done with finals. Done with my first semester of college.

Well technically, I still have a paper to turn in tomorrow, but I'm basically done with that too.

It's kind of amazing.

I may or may not have done terribly on my bio lab final, but I had a 112% before the test so I'm hoping that will offset any damage caused by lack of studying. Otherwise, I survived and I think I'll have a 4.0. Or at least a 3.9 something.

But as a former student teacher and college graduate said, all you really need is a 3.5 and that can easily be accomplished with an A- average.

So I'm gonna revise a paper today, and then chill for the next month =)

More AHHHH!

I'm officially the lamest person ever because I am actually going to stay in on a Saturday night and write a paper. And that doesn't bother me.

It's not that I want to write a paper tonight, it just needs to get done today so I have time to revise it and make it not crappy by Wednesday, and so I can spend tomorrow studying for my finals on Monday and Tuesday.

I've been working on this stupid thing for literally like three days and it's just not happening. I've almost got 6 pages done, and it's supposed to be in the 15 page range. I was going to try to shoot for around 12, but I think I will take 10 at this point since there isn't really a minimum, just a maximum page limit of 15.

It's a damn good paper though, and I'm going to be pissed if it doesn't get an A.

Now I'm going to actually try to go be productive and hack away at this thing some more. Happy Studying!

AHHHH!

So as of Wednesday, I said I took about 12 hours off from doing anything productive, and I was fine.

I'm not fine.

Finals always freak me out, and I just realized yesterday that I only have 3 days left until finals.

I'm kind of somewhere between freak-out mode and procrastinate-some-more mode. I freak out for a bit until I can't anymore and then I procrastinate. Probably not the best strategy.

And actually, I'm more worried about getting my 15 page paper done than studying for finals, but I have 5 pages done and I have until Wednesday.

Gotta love college.

Tip of the Day: Get enough sleep. I went to bed around 3 am. Woke up at 8:30, shut my alarm off, and went back to sleep. Woke up at 9:27.

I have class at 9:30.

Hmmm...

Ok so I haven't updated this in forever. Life's been crazy.

We have finals in two weeks, and since next week is dead week, EVERYTHING is due this week. Seriously. EVERYTHING.

I've been going nuts.

I also ordered my books for next semester...it's gonna be at least $400. Ugh.

On a brighter note, I found out that my last final is on Tuesday of finals week, so that means I'm on break from December 15 to January 11. I love college =)

Except I'm probably not going to have anything to do for like a month. I should really get a job.

Tip of the Day: Don't turn in first drafts of important papers. Yeah, I BS papers the night before they're due and it usually turns out ok. I found out that the first draft of my English paper would've been "on the line between a D and a C." Revision is a good idea.
