I've just passed a class I absolutely loathed with a 90.05, what small victories from this semester have you pulled off?
This semester, so I could focus on math, I decided to take an online class to give me extra face-time on college to work on it (I'm a GED student who tested into remedial, so this was my last non-college algebra class).
Four classes: Math 085, Psychology 110, CMS 252 (the school newspaper, I revived it from a 2-year hiatus last year and run it as a work-study, my adviser made it a one-person class this semester to give me something to actually show for it besides resume polish), and Philosophy 100.
I've enjoyed every class I've had this semester except PHI. The way the class was taught is he copied sentences from the book and essentially wanted you to find a related sentence elsewhere in a horribly wishy-washy textbook.
I'm sure there are people that would flourish in this class, but it wasn't for me, and I resigned to getting a high B even though I'd put an A's effort into the class.
Come time for finals and it turns out the final is... an untimed essay.
In the end I crammed the book, threw everything I had at MS Word, got a 90.05 final grade and managed to save my 4.0 gpa for at least one more semester.
In the grand scheme of things this isn't really that big, but I feel like I just found $100 in my pocket.
So let's get some back-patting going, what were your small victories this semester?
TL;DR: Got an online class, hated it, fucked up some graded quizzes, saved it at the last moment with Super-Bullshitting powers. Edit: Some revising and streamlining of points.
