ur not alone
there iz mroe 2 this i kno!!!
I have no idea why a Saosin song is stuck in my head. I really don't.
So, here we are, finals week. So far... ugh. I have no idea what grade I am getting in my classes. I am pulling A's and A-'s as far as I know right now, but I am fearful of that changing for the worse and quick. In tech writing, I usually got A- papers, but also a B-. Plus I have no idea what kind of grade I got on the final project or my individual proposal. I mean, I'd have to assume I did at least an A- job on both the group project and the individual paper, but I kept getting the impression that I wasn't delivering exactly what I should have been, so I guess I just won't know until I see my final grade.
As such, my java class is the only one I'm not really worried about. But that is only because of how well I did the rest of the semester. I had 100% before the final project, and even if I get half the points on the project I will still pull an A-. And honestly, it kinda looks like I might get half. I don't think I did very good on it. See, I did the Deal Or No Deal game, and after a lot of help got my major break through and made great progress on it and submitted it.
But compared to everyone else, mine is lame. Really lame. I didn't even have different round lengths to the game and the "Remaining Prizes" box didn't begin to work. My presentation was lame too, but we weren't graded on that. At the end of the day, I did what the project guidelines asked for and did put hours upon hours of work into it, even if the game still needed tweaking. But blah, I kinda feel like I let myself down, like I did in my other classes.
Which brings us to Hardware, which I took the final test on today and, ohhhhh. I missed a few that I should have known and I am kicking myself for it. I think I did worse than I did on the midterm. I mean, I did get like a high B+ but I was trying to A's. And despite studying all day long I still felt tripped up by some questions. I was also confused by a couple questions that seemed to go against my understanding of things, and I am kinda upset about it. This final means the difference between my A- in there and a B, so I just pray that I hit A territory or a high B and I will be ok.
I really do need all A's and A-'s, but I think there is a good chance I got at least 2 B+'s.
Anyway... My team finished our systems analysis project. I am getting a low A in that class and this project will dictate what kind of letter grade I will pull. Course here's the thing: I did my work early on in the project and got about a third of it done myself, and then the other 2 guys just did theirs last night. I didn't get to see the final product because something came up last night, but I trust that it went Ok. It's weird that the class I was most worried about all year, and especially when i heard about this project, is the one I probably did the best in. But I guess that remains to be seen.
Thursday is our presentation, which is pretty straightforward. We are gonna go over our powerpoint Wednesday and get organized. As soon as that final is done, I am going home for the summer to spend time with my family, friends, girlfriend, and try to make some money for next year.
I'll reflect on the year on Thursday. Until then though, wish me luck. I need it.
