Good News and Bad News

Well the good news is that I made C's in both my History class and my Statistics class. I'm really happy for that. Now the bad news is that I made a D for my final grade in Accounting. My  heart dropped when I saw the grade that was posted. After having a C in the class, that is what I got. I knew that when I walked out after doing my exam, even when I was taking it, that I was going to bomb it. I didn't put forth into studying it at all to tell you the truth, but I deserved that grade for that reason. Ugh, I hate that, but I learned my lesson. I really have to work harder next semester. I think a lot of stressful things that has been going on, didn't help me to concentrate on what I needed to do, but I can't change it now. Well no use to dwell on it, just have to move on. Hope you all did great on your finals and are glad for you grade for those who are finished for this semester. =)

I Don't Think I Did Well....

I don't think I did well at all on my midterm in history class or for my exam in accounting. I hope that my assignments and other tests in accounting will at least get me a C for the course. As for history, I'm not even sure what I'm making in the class. Things here at home have gotten to where it's hard for me to concentrate on what I need to do for my classes at times. I hope that it has not effected me to much to where I may become even more stressed.

I have to wait until Monday, I think, until I can see what my grades will be for those two classes.

WooHoo, Got a C

A low C is what I got on my second test in accounting. I know I could have done a bit better especially on one part of the test where I knew I should have studied a bit more on. But I'm happy that I did understand what I was suppose to do a little bit more on this one and watching an accounting lecture on YouTube, helped me out some too. Have you every looked on YouTube as a study guide other than watch the dog riding on a skate board..lol. That is what I did an came upon an instructor that went through the chapters and did example problems. Although my instructor is clear on his lectures and doing problems, I just needed a refresher on some things. So check that out next time to see there is a video that can help out with your school work.

My statistics test..... well I did at least pass. There are two more weeks left before the fall break and I am ready for my brain to rest some. Today, I woke up with a cold that the kids had earlier this week, so I think I will stay home from class today since it isn't much that I will miss from my history class. I think sitting in the cold buildings and then since fall is upon us, walking around on campus in the cold, windy air at night isn't going to help me. So hopefully I will get some rest this weekend since I don't have much work to do for my classes.

And the Grade Was....

For my accounting test, not a good one, even when the instructor based it on a 10 point scale of the grades like 100-90 is an A, so forth and so on. I was one point from a very low C if I'm calculating it right. The good news is that he will allow us to take the test over if we feel as though it wasn't our best work and that grade can replace the one we got on this test. So I am debating about it. The highest I am allowed to make on it is a 75, so that would be a B. I guess I should go ahead and try to get a better grade on it. I hate falling below a C on things when I know the information. Just looking back through the test it was mostly a few points here and there from where I may have switched things around and the multiple choice hurt me too. It was mainly on definitions kind of. So Monday is when I can take it over, then there is another test that is due at the end of Tuesday night that I have to take for my Accounting class. So that means I have to do a ton of studying this weekend.

I had a take home test and a in class test in my statistics class. We were able to use our notes and textbooks for the take home text and then notes for the in class text. I get the jist of figuring out the problems that are given to me, but when it comes to explaining what it all means, then forget about. So I know there will be points off of that part that needed explaining... sigh. I have one more test for Accounting and then an exam for that class, then it will be on to Immediate Accounting I. At least I won't have to worry about buying anymore textbooks for the next few accounting classes since they will be using the same book.

Another draft essay is due today for my HP: History 101 class in which I finished doing not to long ago. My whole intention was to do it bit by bit, but I didn't know which essay question to do, then didn't really know how to approach and when trying to do it late, late last night.. conflict aroused about so I put it off until this morning. Did I mention, I don't like to write papers... lol. Comprehending literature is not my thing. Give me a few math problems or some science/chemistry questions and I will work that out to death. lol.

It's almost TGIF... woohoo.

My First Graded Essay

Well I received my graded essay today from my instructor by email and it had at the bottom of it B-/C+. I guess that is good, not sure how to read that so I will just have to wait until Tuesday for the instructor to explain how he went about grading it. He wrote that my ideas were explained better although I was still missing the historical information that should have been in it. Well, I have three more essays to write before the end of the semester, so hopefully I will get better at writing them since they all will be a continue from the first essay.

Tomorrow I am suppose to be able to get my reimbursement check from the loan that I received. I definitely need it and it will really help with gas money. So that is one of my task for tomorrow plus try to finish reading stanzas from a poem for my Medieval class. The Song of Roland is one of the books I have to read and as I was going along reading it, I started to understand it and it was pretty interesting so far. Still have some 83 stanzas to read by Tuesday.
