Grades this semester

Okay, quick update:

U.S. History II -- A (Thank you, extra credit!!)
Intro. to Game Programming -- B
Elementary Spanish I -- A
Argument and Persuasion ------ (Pending, but A?)

Okay, so this was a good semester. But, it could have been so much better. I'm happy with my grades in the sense that I got good grades, but I'm disappointed with how I (didn't) manage my time this semester. My grades could have been better, (the letter grade is one thing, the percents are another) because of how I slacked off. I intend to do better next semester, which starts Jan. 6.

My theme for next semester is going to be: Work Smart, Hard and EFFECTIVELY.

The only thing left is my SPI class, The Foundations of the U.S. Constitution, which, despite all my good intentions for, I've yet to take any of the tests for!!! My time management was poor and more to the point, I wasn't very efficient with my studying this semester. I cant continue at this quality and at this point much further because in the Spring I will be taking 6 classes, 19 credit hours.

Not Much A Do About Google

Just a quick note on Googles changing to their fade in home page. I dont like it. Not at all, I hope it will stop being annoying sooner rather than later.

Finals Week

NaNoWriMo

I'm also planning on Doing NanoWrimo this year. I did it last year and enjoyed it, though I didn't get to socialize much with my fellow writers I did complete a novels worth of story.

This year I'd like to complete a novel or atleast the first (50,000) words of one again. I plan on doing it and still keeping up in school. How, I'm not 100% sure about that yet, but wish me luck.

Post MideTerm

So I have a couple of big projects in the works. Mid Term itself wasn't really stressful as I had no tests or anything, nd I'm not feeling too motivated to do alot. I'm really, really disorganized still but my math is slowly creeping back up to par. I registered for some classes already, I'm going to tweak my schedule a bit more between now and January.

This is going to be a busy week though. I have a few important things to do:

A group presentation in Spanish first thing tomorrow.
I have an Expository Paper due in English tomorrow but this friday my big ENG paper is due, its worth 15% of my grade
and Tuesday I have to have one level working of my game in my Game Programming Class.


Wish me luck.

Something I'd like to do

I want to read every single book on the First floor of my Public library sometime. Maybe next year. It'd be great if I could get someone to sponsor me but who knows...

It has been playing around in my head for a few years now, I dont know why I didn't attempt it sooner but its something I want to do when I get the time.

Set Back in Testing Plans

I'd planned to take my first SPI test today, it seemed like a golden opportunity because I dont have Spanish on Friday and because my English class was canceled, which meant I only have one class today.

Well, since I have all this extra time my family decided to call on me for babysitting detail so I wont be getting on campus until this afternoon and by the time I'm done with class I have to go to the Spanish Tutor for help with my homework which is due first thing Monday morning. By the time I'm done with that I'll have to leave school pronto or be stranded because the buses dont run that late out to my house.


I'm going to take Test 1 on Monday, inshallah and still take Test 2 next Friday.
