• Good results!

  
  Night before last, I found that all but one of my grades were posted online in my student self services area of the college's website.  I was shocked!  Despite me slacking something awful, I have an A and two B's so far.  I suspect the missing grade will be an A or B.  For now, without that grade, I have a GPA of 3.3.  I have survived my first full semester and done pretty well!  I expected a C in Psychology, but thankfully, I was wrong.  I done poorly on a few of the exams because I simply didn't study the material for a second (actually, I rarely studied any of it), but all the extra credit lab work must have paid off.  For that, I had straight A's.  For Stupid Class, I literally logged into the labs the day after class was already over for the term and answered all the questions without using the book.  On some of them, I honestly wrote some crazy nonsense.  For instance, here's an example of one question and my answer:

  Q: Julie has terrible test anxiety that has caused her to fail most of her classes so far.   When there is a test, she becomes nauseous and so anxious, she sometimes passes out.  What advice would you give to Julie to help her overcome this problem so that she can do well in her classes?

  A: Julie has a serious problem that requires immediate medical attention.  No piece of advice I could give her, other than seeing a doctor, would be beneficial to her in the least.  I'm not sure what the book says I should tell Julie, but I suspect she needs medication to control this problem.

  Another...

  Q: According to the information in the chapter, what kind of student are you?  What things can you do to improve as a student?

  A: I suck because I haven't read any of that book.  What kind of student am I according to the book?  Well, I've no idea.  To improve as a student, I could stop procrastinating immediately so that I don't find myself in these situations where I have to make up an entire semester's worth of work in one night.  That would be very beneficial, I suspect.  Anyway, sorry!

  I done all the work this way for that class!  It worked.  Hells yeah!  One thing is for sure, though, and that is that I must shape up for the coming summer session.  I'm pretty sure procrastinating and being a slacker won't work for very long.  It'll bite me in the ass.  Maybe if I had not slacked, I'd have straight A's for the semester.  :S  Oh well.

  Either way, I'm content.
