So I've finished the semester, and I graduate on Saturday. I'm worried about my grades, as always. The good news is that my math final exam was so good that I got an A in the class, though no one got over a 90 for the final grade, so he made the 80s As, the 70s Bs and the 60s Cs. Anyway, the no news yet is that my music theory course is borderline between a B+ and an A-, so we'll see how that goes. My poetry course, however, the two papers are 60% of my final grade, and I got back the first one as I was turning in the second. She couldn't figure out what the topic was. That's always a bad sign, and since the topic for my second paper was even less clear (mainly because I wasn't sure what the paper was trying to say, because it wasn't one of those papers that would submit to my will). It was 7 pages longer than it needed to be, but still. Plus the final is iffy (10% of the final grade) because the quiz part sucked (we had no warning, she moved it from it's normal time to thursday the last day of classes, only telling us the second to last class day), and the take-home section was done after one night of no sleep and during a second night of no sleep. We'll see. All I'm really gunning for is graduating with a cumulative of 3.5, and I've got a pretty good buffer zone for that. I still wouldn't like to get a C in poetry, especially since it'll drop in-major GPA a lot. The subjectivity of English classes is ok, but the inexplicable grading scales always piss me off so much more because they don't reflect what you've learned in the class, only how well you can write about one or two or three topics that specifically interested you. [sighs] Anyway, I just got back from canoing, and showering, and I need to get dressed and stuff to go to dinner with a professor. I'll let you know more about senior week activities as they happen. (I have time to write again, since finals are over).
