GPA Blegh
12 years ago
General
Well, last semester didn't turn out as poorly as I'd feared. I wound up with an A- in molecular bio, a B- in Race Relations, and a C in Japanese. Everybody keeps telling me that getting a C in an intensive Japanese course is actually really good, but I just can't bring myself to be proud of it. As it stands, my GPA for the semester was a 2.7, my lowest ever. I'm hoping to really knock it out of the park this semester to make up for it.
My current classes are Organic Chem, the second part of Intro to Biology (this time being taught as evolutionary ecology rather than molecular bio) Biology lab, Calculus and Microbiology. Since I've already taken a large number of courses pertaining to my biology classes, that just leaves Calculus and Organic Chemistry. Chem has always been a fickle topic for me, but apparently there's none of the algebra I came to hate in Inorganic Chem last year. And then Calculus. Oh math, I can never fucking escape you, can I? No matter how far or fast I run, you're always waiting there in front of me, ready to turn an otherwise enjoyable semester into pure hell. If anything is gonna royally fuck me over this semester, that's the class. It seems pretty easy now, but College Algebra started out that way too, and wound up making me want to rampage through the campus after a few weeks.
Anyways, enough bitching. I really hope to get at very least an A- in all of my courses this semester. I can go as low as a B in Calc if I get all As on the rest, but I desperately need to balance out that GPA from my last semester.

FA+

I appreciate your offer of assistance though
But here is the same way; only we were allowed an entrance exam for chemistry; if we placed well enough, we coild skip the typical freshman sequence and go right into oeganoc. But fret not, organic is easy and beautiful subject!
