My last final was today. It was bio, and I was STRESSING OUT ABOUT IT last night. Like having to verbally talk myself down from freaking out because I was being ridiculous. As usual when a person is "freaking out". It worked though. But studying, not so much...I just could not wrap my brain around that material...so dry, and very little learning involved for me. I think maybe a third of what we did this unit was learning and the other two thirds were just rote memorization. Which you'd imagine I'd be good at due to memorizing lines, but no. It didn't go so well and I had several days to try at it.
Anyway, I have a solid B in that class, even 100% on the test wouldn't bring it up to an A and anything short of (I think) 62% would let me keep my B. So there was NO REASON for me to be freaking out so hard. I don't fail tests. I don't get D's on tests! And I didn't, I think I got a mid C or maybe a bit higher, but I definitely kept my B in that class.
Which makes my grades: Stats - A (Thank you Dr. Noice for always getting our tests back to us the next class period and for posting our final grades two days after our exam!) Ab Psych - A (or extremely likely anyway) Bio - B Chem.....???? I doubt I will find that out until January 12th, cuz I think that's the due date for all grades. We took two tests, two quizzes, and one final the last week or so of school and the only one of those I will ever get to actually see is one of the quizzes I think we got back. I have no flipping clue what grade I have in that class. But I'm heartened to know that chem has an easier grading system - I think 78 is a B. Which is almost certainly an unattainable goal...and yet, the 3 tests I do know my scores for were 82 (probably a bit higher since I retook it) , 79 and 79. That's a B. Labs; I attended all of them but didn't realize I needed to turn in my data as well as my report for the first few, so lost some points there. mastering chem I did all of but because of her mistakes, some of them "missed the deadline" and I got "0 points" on those, which she told our class she would change, but I'd be very surprised if she remembers that. So yeah, in short I just really don't know. Def a C though. Which is good, means I don't have to retake it, yahoo!
I'm going to go to the library today, pay off the fines on the textbooks I've had all semester, and pick up the latest Wheel of Time I ordered awhile back. Then I have 3 hours of train to read it :) I'm pretty stoked. Yay for no stress! well...less.
