I can’t believe Finals are over! I finished a little after 9 this morning with an 85 on my PreCalculus Final - that’s a respectable B, by the way. A week or so ago Mrs. M told me I had to make 80 or more on the final in order to make an A in the class, and that was before she had all the work for grades, so I feel pretty confident that I’ve earned an A in that class. Confident enough, in fact, that I’m going to go ahead and plug it into the trusty spreadsheet.

When I got home, I stripped and have been nude on the couch ever since then, stunned and making random noises to the cats until a short while ago when it was almost time for kids to be home. Reluctantly, I got dressed again, but in my comfies.

Now? I don’t know. What am I supposed to do now? I don’t have any exams to study for, no assignments to work on… I’m drifting.

I’m dying to know what I got on my Lit Final, but I don’t want to pester TC, so I will try to wait till tomorrow when I see him.

I got my scores last night for A&P - I made a 96.5 on my Final, bringing me to 94 for the class!  I am so pleased with myself!  The class is 4 credit hours, so it carries more weight than a 3 credit hour class, obviously, and will do a good job bringing my GPA up.   Dr. S was the best!

I spoke with Keyboarding and from the way it looks right now, I have an A in that class as well.  She hasn’t graded my final, but all the lab-work and timings were averaged (100 and 101) and my attendance grade was in too (99), so she said unless I totally flubbed the final, which she didn’t think was likely, I have an A in there.

I’m not sure when I’ll know what I made on my Lit Final.  I’m a little concerned that I didn’t do nearly as well as I would have liked because I was sick when I read several of the selections from this exam.  I re-read them, but they didn’t stick quite as nicely as I would have liked, and I didn’t have time to re-read them more than once before the Final.  But, I got a 95 on my Analytical Paper, and that brought a huge smile to my face which is still there.

 I turned in my Speech Final and completed an essay for the college.  She grades her class strangely - on a total points system, rather than an average system like virtually everyone else.  So, while I know how many points I have out of how many points were possible and I know what that averages out to, I don’t know how that will be represented when my final grades are posted.  I have 1327 points out of 1420, and that averages to a 93.45, which in most courses would be an A.  According to her syllabus, though, it’s a B.  I spoke with her after class and she said that’s not really how she grades and to just take a breath and relax… which, seems pretty easy to say, and less easy to do when there is so much at stake.  However, we’ll see what happens.

I have yet to take my PreCalculus Final.  I am supposed to be studying today for that, and will definitely spend the larger portion of the day doing so.  I had planned on going up to the college to study outside of Mrs. M’s office, but I think I’m going to stay home instead in my jammies where I can be comfortable.  I think more clearly the fewer clothes I have on.  *shock* 

I guess probably my favorite class this semester has been my Lit class.  I have to admit, too, that I may not have liked it as much without the Instructor that taught it.  After all, the whole reason I took that particular English during that slot was because he was teaching it.  I was right to take it, because I have immensely enjoyed it.  It was the first night class I’ve taken since I’ve been back in school, and though the kids were not ecstatic about me being out of their clutches, I liked having the time to myself, if you can call sitting in a class with 20 something other people ‘time to myself’.  At any rate, Thank you, TC, for a wonderful semester, and for opening up so many new ideas and mental pathways.  I’ve started writing again (creatively!) because of you.  That’s awesome, I think.  There ought to be a dedication somewhere in that!

The most surprising class this semester has been PreCal.  I really thought I was not going to like the class or the teacher, but I have ended up loving both.  The second day of class was very frustrating and I ended up crying on the front row, for everyone to see.  Mrs. M, sweet soul that she is, asked me to stay after and asked me if I was OK, if I was under a lot of stress (16 hour load plus three kids and a husband), and if I had anyone to talk to.  I was really embarrassed and wanted to get out of there before I cried again, but I was really touched that she wanted to make sure I was OK.  Since then, I’ve really come to like her a lot, both as a teacher and as a person.  She’s been the best math teacher I’ve ever had, hands down, and she’s a really cool person as well.  I hope I’m able to keep in contact with her after the semester ends.

Alright, enough fooling around for one morning.  Time to get busy with the studying.  I’ve worked too hard this semester to throw it away now!  One more final, and then it’s nakey time!
