FINALS/EXAMS

[Sharon]

Reading the entries in the cbox - I see that many of us had (or are still taking) final exams!

I thought I'd go ahead and start a topic so we can celebrate together!!!

I think that the exams for my classes were easier than I had anticipated. ...or perhaps I simply studied more ultimately causing me to find the tests easier? Either way - they're over and that's all I really care about at the moment

MY Sign Language exam was easier than anticipated, got an A (Woot!). Chemistry was dreadful - mainly because Chemistry and I just don't mix. But whatever, I passed it. Anatomy and Physiology was insane - 200 questions; a cumulative review of the entire semester, covering 8 body systems in depth - mad hard. Passed it *sigh of relief*. Psych was so much easier than expected, and Modern World was just 2 take home essays - way easy.

Anyway, I am soooo happy that the semester is over - kind of ticked off, because due to A&P and Chemistry, I am on academic probation for next semester. My cumulative GPA right now is a 3.21. However, due to the fact that I am a scholarship student and an Honors student, I am supposed to maintain a 3.25......0.04 points is what's got me on effing probation - grrr. My GPA is above average and I'm on probation - it's bull and it's a pain in the arse, but I suppose that's what I get for being an over-achiever.

bummer dude... academic probation - not familiar with that, what is it?

basically, I just have to pull my GPA up to a 3.25 or I get kicked out of the Honors program/lose my scholarship. Its not like I've ever had trouble maintaining that, its just, this semester was insane and so much was going on that things slipped a little. As I said, my current GPA's a 3.21 - so I just barely missed my requirement, which sucks.....but whatever. Next semester should be easier, so its no big.

well that's cool, congrats on getting through it all
