Yesterday was the last day of classes which means all that is left is to focus on exams I’m so very happy, excited, relieved and yet stressed out at the same time…ugh! I have my first exam tomorrow from 11am-1pm for my Astronomy class; it’s the only class that I’ve been worried about all semester and now that we’re down to the wire and the exam is tomorrow, I’m still worried about this class but I’m not the only one. Hopefully, it won’t be as that bad and I’ll do alright but it’s kind of hard when you have to study a whole semesters worth (3.5 months) of information without any guidance - I just need to relax and know that I’ll do fine…before I end up giving myself a huge migraine headache or get sick stressing out about it!

On Thursday, I have my second exam which is in Probability and Statistics; I’ve had an A+ (100) average in the class all semester so I’m not worried about this one at all. Of course, I still need to study and want to do my best on the exam but I don’t think there’s any possible way I could fail the class but I want to keep my A average for sure. The exams for my two online classes will be easy as always since they technically aren’t “exams” but rather the 3rd and 4th test of the semester which is all multiple choice, 50 questions and open note/book. The only other class I have is my Marriage and Family class and I have to write a 5-10 page “paper” for that exam and have to create my own family - I haven’t started it yet, but have an idea of what I want to write.

Hopefully, when all exams are taken and my grades are submitted I’ll have received all A’s in my classes except Astronomy. If I figured out the math correctly I could still make a B in my Astronomy class but I’d have to do pretty well on the exam and he’d have to give a pretty nice chunk of points for the extra credit paper I did. Obviously, if I don’t get a B and I get stuck with a C I’ll be happy since that means I passed and my GPA will be alright still, but I really want a B. I’ve worked my butt off so hard this semester to get all A’s in my class and so far I think I’ve succeeded. I have a few classes that are right at a 91/92 (an A is a 91-100) so I need to make sure I do extra well on those exams so that it doesn’t drop into the B range. I need to send in a request to have my final transcripts sent to MSU before I forget Since I won’t be able to transfer anywhere until Fall 2008, I’ve decided to take 4 more online classes for the Spring semester to bring up my overall GPA and so that I can keep my insurance (have to be in school full-time). The classes below are what I decided on:

American History 1877 to Present
Intermediate Algebra
Introduction to Philosophy
Macroeconomics

The history and economic classes I am taking over again so that I can knock the F’s out of my GPA. The will still show up on my transcripts but won’t be counted in my GPA calculation - this is why my GPA is really low but I’ve been working to bring it up, hopefully after this semester is over it’ll be just enough to get into MSU and then I can kick ass when I transfer
