Well, so far my GPA is 4.0, but I only have the grades from 2 of my classes, which were both A's obviously. I still have 2 other classes that I don't have my grades for yet. Hopefully I didn't completely screw up on my history exam... if I didn't, then I'll probably get a B in that class. I don't really know what to expect from my English class. I'm hoping that I got an A because I felt like I did well all quarter in thatclass, but who knows?
In English, we didn't have to take a final exam, but we had to turn in a portfolio, which included what we thought were our two best papers from the quarter and our peer edits from editing our peers papers (obviously). I guess he'll use the peer edits to give us participation credit or something, but I don't know. I do know, however, that this portfolio will make up about 50% of our grade, and if I don't do well, well, that's gonna suck for me. I also hope that I do really well on the portfolio because if I do, there is a chance that I could get a $100 gift certificate for the campus bookstore, which would be freaking awesome!
I really love my psych professor because she let me take my exam, even though I was almost an hour late for it! When I gave her my excuse, which was mostly valid, I kinda stretched one part about it..the part where I said that I knew the exam was that day. I thought the exam was on Wednesday, but it was on Monday. I can't believe how stupid I was that day! And I didn't fail that exam, even though I didn't get a chance to study at all for it. Had I known it was on Monday, I probably would have looked over my notes sometime Sunday, but I didn't.
So, I lucked out on the psych exam, but I'm not so sure I did that well on my history final. I didn't study for that one really. I prepared myself a little for the essay part, but that was about it. If I didn't completely screw up on that, then I may have a fighting chance to get a decent grade on the exam. I know for a fact that I missed at least one question on the other part of the test..but I know that because it was a fill-in-the-blank question, and I left it blank. :)
So... hopefully I will have learned something from the horrible melt-down session that I went through after finding out I was 20 minutes late for my exam, and I won't screw up like that again. Actually, the next time finals roll around, I'll probably be all paranoid and keep checking my exam times every 30 minutes. ;)
