Dropping Science. Or "Grumblings"

This science class, Intro. to Physical Science is really frivolous and my mom's reason for wanting me to take it is, I think, stupid. (To prepare me for General Chemistry next semester--this class isn't a prerequisite! This class teaches only 1 section on chemistry...and since its 2x a week, I doubt it will be very thorough.)

I'm taking College Algebra and Spanish III this semester, I've been counting on taking these 2 classes together, and alone, for a long while now. I'm royally pissed about this science class. My GPA is in a precarious place already and I feel that keeping pace with an erratic science class is going to be a hurt, not a help. It wont count towards my Degree, it WILL detract from the time that I spend on Mathematics...if I ace all 3 of my classes, I can raise my GPA to 3.75.

If I ace just two classes then I can raise my GPA to 3.74...

Right now, I need
4hrs electives (Spanish III is exactly 4)
6hrs of Math (College Algebra is 3)
6hrs of Science (Intro. Physical Sci is 3)

If I keep my current schedule then I will NEED only 2 classes in the Spring, instead of 3, for my AA degree. HOWEVER, right now the plan is still to major in Engineering, so, therefore, I must accept the fact that I have several credits left to earn. Here is the breakdown:

hr -- CLASS
03 -- PreCalc
03 -- Trigonometry
03 -- Chemistry
05 -- Calc I
05 -- Calc II
04 -- Calc III
05 -- Physics I
05 -- Physics II

33 -- Total Credits remaining and its going to take me about 16 more months of school:
SPRING 11
Pre Calc, Trig, Chemis
SUMMER 11
CALC I
FALL 11
Calc II, Physics I
SPRING 12
Calc III, Physics II

I dont even want to think about what I'm going to do with Spanish during all that time, I'll probably try and take 1 spanish Class at a neighboring University each semester starting Next summer, no matter what.

However, that would, I think, give me a nice jump on the other Engineering students and I really feel that I should take my core classes in isolation from others if I'm to do my best.

I'm also having a lot of 2nd thoughts about what to do in school. When I took Web Design, I did well in the class, but, when I was done, I found that I'd lost my passion and drive to do Web Design...when I was done. Already I feel myself being drained of my passion and curiousity for electronics...Does this mean I should major in something I dont care about...?

I'm tempted to finish my AA degree this semester by taking an express session for math and Science later on, my grades would be poor, I'm sure, but atleast then I'd be done and I could take some time to think about what I want to do with myself.

Oh, a goal.

I'm not 100% sure how I'm going to do this, but I want this to be the semester that I hit a 4.0 GPA. I will probably never have this chance again, and I know that with Algebra it will be a struggle, but I'm game.

I'm not sure how, but I want 3 A's on my transcript for this semester. I'm at 3.7 now and I want to finish my Jr. College career with a 3.75.

Hi Sum--Whoa! Bye Summer

What in the world is going on! Summer is over, this is the second day of school.

Last semester I made:
Af. Amer Literature--A
Intermed. Algebra ---B

This semester I'm taking:
College Algebra --- 5x a week (thank god!)
Physical Science -- 2x a week (mom is adamant that I take this class)
Spanish 3 (Int.) -- 4x a week + lab.

I've been so busy but haven't gotten a thing done all summer! I'm not sure where all the time has gone or how this semester will play out. *grr*

My rooms a mess, my house needs cleaning, I'm behing in all 3 classes on homework, I'm ill prepared for the semester (I need shoes and cant find my backpack!)

The best thing is with Ramadan atleast my diet is under control...

I'll be updating more often now that schools back in session, I hope.

Wish me luck, pray for me, send money.
