Grades
I finally got my grades this morning. I would estimate that I have checked for them roughly fifty times over the past week. I remember my first few years of college, before KU managed to get any kind of web-based applications running, I had to wait for grades to come by mail. Of course, in those days I didn't really want to know what my grades were, and my only real concern was intercepting them before my parents checked the mail.
I got an A in my biology class and a B in my chemistry and calculus classes. I'm sort of disappointed with the B in chemistry, but I'm really proud of the A in bio and the B in calculus. I was pretty worried that I'd end up with a C in calc given my lackluster performance on the final. I guess everyone must have performed pretty poorly on the final. The midterm was curved by 25%, I wish I knew how much they curved the final.
I am frustrated with the chemistry grade, especially because I skipped roughly 1/4 of the lectures and I know I could have done better. But really, I skipped those lectures because I was up all night doing homework...and something has to give at some point. This was pretty much the first semester of my academic career for which I had to apply myself in any real fashion. I sort of had to bootstrap good study habits, since I've never really needed them before.
Could I have done better? Probably. But for now I'm just looking forward to applying everything I've accomplished so far to future semesters.
Mom's response to my grades: "Are those grades good enough to get into medical school?" Thanks for the support.
