4.0
« on: Wednesday, September 13, 2006, 07:00:29 PM »
I just check my grades for summer quarter... Another 4.0!  That's four in a row!  I really didn't expect it this quarter.  In a technical writing class, I turned in the second biggest paper two weeks late.  And in a class called "computational concepts in IT," which was about working with binary and hexidecimal in terms of floating point math and also error correction and compression (i.e. fucking hard), I didn't even turn in 60% of the homeworks until the last day, and even then, some of them weren't even done because the problems were too hard.

Anyway, I certainly am pretty happy about this.  I'm almost back up to a 3.9 overall.   ^-^

You suck.  How come you get to be smart and I'm stuck here with my endless stockpiles of stupidity?

Nice. 

Unfortunately my studies are tough enough that I have to work hard to keep my GPA up.  I slack and it goes all the way down the 3.0.  It's my last year in undergraduate studies, so I get to graduate this year!  Gonna work hard this year :).

Fuck man.

This is my first semester of college and I am fucking scared.  I am used to getting 4.0s, but I picked a really difficult school.

I am studying and reading my ass off, but I am still terrified I will get like a 2.3 or something.
Suck it, Pugnate.

2-3 years. :(  It takes forever when you are in a night program.

At schools that are difficult, they load up the first and second semesters with really hard classes to weed the pretenders out.  You'll be fine.  Personally, I think college is a lot less stressful than highschool.  Less classes, less quizzes and homework, less papers, etc.  Plus the class atmosphere is a lot more relaxed.  I remember feeling really wierd the first time I wore a baseball cap to school.

No kidding.  I once got a 0.8.
