Lizet's Place

First off! I totally made up for the BOMBED first exam in my calculus class! The professor offered a measly 10 points extra credit if we re-did the exam. Okay. I did the extra credit and moved my points from 39 to 49. It's still failing. HOWEVER! On Tuesday we had our second exam. 13 questions and a flat 2 hours. No extension. I was anxious all weekend about that. I was also hoping for at least 75 points. Nah, man! I ACED THAT SUCKER! 100/100! Excuse me, what?! I've been checking the class website because I'm convinced it's a mistake and I really got between 75-95 points. The next exam is later this month, and then the final is June 9th.

Also, I spoke with a completion counselor about why I got the email for the fall semester when this is supposed to be my last semester before transferring and she said that e-mail is sent to all students, but she could understand why I would be worried.

She also checked about why there was no "movement" on my graduation (the status hadn't changed from when I submitted it in January/February)...which led to her checking my transcripts to see if that was why my application hadn't been processed.

Apparently, because I hadn't applied to any universities to transfer to, they process the applications of students who had already applied to universities. But she was going to email them for confirmation, and then once she heard back, she was going to email me with her findings.

Either way, I'm still on track to graduate in June/transfer once I apply (looking at ASU, Cal State LA, and Washington University in St. Louis).

She asked me if I was going to participate in the commencement ceremony in June. I said that I wasn't sure as I have a final that day and the professor requires students to be present with their cameras on during exams. I also told her that I was going to ask him if the final was still going to be on June 9 and whether an exception can be made for me. But honestly, I still don't know if I want to participate in the ceremony. It will be another AS degree and I'd rather just wait for the big university graduation with my bachelor's (or master's if I do both at the same time) in a few years.

I've taken the first tests in my 4 classes.

87%, 81%, 80% and 76%.

I got the 76% because the instructor gave everyone in the class 4 extra points, otherwise, I'd have 68%. I'm not pleased with this at all. I know there's 3 or 4 other tests in the class, but I just don't like/can't follow how the instructor does the lecture (he basically re-reads the book in between telling real life stories and insulting people in the class). I'm going to have to do extra credit because I want to pass the class with a B, though for transferring, a C is acceptable.

The other 3 classes are much better because we have a workbook that we fill out as the lecture goes - we're basically writing our own textbook for the class.

Also, today in my second class 2 people were supposed to bring cookies and what do you know...they weren't in class! The teacher said on Tuesday we need to "narc on them" and he'd take care of the rest. Also next Tuesday another girl is supposed to bring cookies and next Thursday another guy is supposed to bring cookies. We'll see if they remember. LOL

Right now I'm in the campus computer lab charging my phone and using the computer. Once my phone is charged, I'll be heading home with a stop at storage. I sold a couple of textbooks from when I was taking classes with ICDC. One book I had in my room and the other I hope is in storage or I'll have to refund the girl her money (and she started classes on October 7).

In more enjoyable news...I've been writing nearly every day this month. Not thousands of words or anything, but like 250-400 words on a good day. On a really good day I can do 500-700 words. Last week I did nearly 1000 words. I wish all these words were going towards a fic I can post soon, but it's for a big bang that won't start posting until FEBRUARY! Isn't that ridiculous?! I'm probably like 2000 words from finishing it, and I'll have to sit on the fic for 5 months! I need to remember to message the mod and ask if there was a way to move the posting date up if a majority of the writers are finished so that artist can claim a fic to do art and we can get this big bang moving along.
