recap
semester's done! woohoo! now what? Oh yeah, sleep. Haven't tried that in a while.
I got my first B transcript grade, and in my gen ed no less. Well, I can try and justify by saying it was A) an honors class and B) frikkin' English! So based on the B++ grade I got on my final portfolio, my average for the whole class must've been darn near 88 or 89%. So now I'm pissed. Had I worked a little harder on the essays I might've gotten an A. Had my grade been anything less than 87 I would've been content with a B. But no. I don't like being a procrastinating perfectionist.
I think I'm only gonna get 14 units of official credit. Apparently independent study only gives me credit for the class and not a letter grade. Dangit. Now I don't get to make Dean's List. WAH! But now I'm peeved because I worked my ass off these past couple of weeks on the class. I got a 97% on the final, a 95% on the homework, and a 93% avg. on the midterms. Damn, I should've just asked the professor to sign me into the regular session instead of this independent study crap. I figured I couldn't sign up for the class since it was at the same time as another one of mine. So the credit is there, just not the level of commitment. Hell, I could've gotten a D and no one would care. A pass is a pass.
One roommate left for Mexico today. He'll be back in January, and my other roommate left last Friday after his easyashell gen ed final to go skiing in NM. I hate not having money. I hate being on the computer and nobody's online to talk to. I need to get out more often. But I hate the social scene. What's a guy to do?

Mitch's first B? :(
I got my first 4.0 since junior year this semester, but I still have three B's from last year. Bleah. In the long run, it doesn't really matter. Especially since you still have a 4.0 for your major GPA.
Good job on the independent study. It takes a lot to keep up the effort when you only need to pass.
to clarify, my first college B. Junior year of high school killed my then splendid GPA. Blasted AP English and AP US History. But I'm guessing my HS GPA was still at or near the top 10% of our class (and in a class of 150 that's not much room for error). But it was weighed (an A in an AP class was 5.0 for GPA, a B was 4.0, etc) so I still had like a 4.3 GPA upon graduation. Of course, a 4.83 GPA senior year didn't hurt...
Oh, and after a healthy bit of nagging and encouragement, my Physics professor managed to cross list me into the regular section, so then my A will count toward my GPA! Sweetness. So now I'm at like a 3.94; how silly is that?
