I got my final grades for the semester today and I am so proud of myself!
I ended up with 5 A's and 1 C.
I honestly thought I was going to end up with quite a few B's, but what do you know, i pulled it off :)
My grades this semester actually show how hard I worked so I'm really happy.
I'm not happy about the C, but that class was RIDICULOUS so oh well, I tried my best and that's all that matters.
Yay me :)

On another note, I voted last Tuesday!
It was my first time ^__^
I was voter #200. Pretty cool huh?
I ended up messing something up on the ballot and voted for one too many people and the machine beeped so i had to push some button on it.
Embarrassing in itself, but even more so considering  a guy I graduated with was standing 3 feet away looking at me while it happened. -_-
I did get a cool sticker though!

Two exams down, one to go.

I had my Japanese exam this morning.
Hopefully I did alright. I think I did, so i've got my fingers crossed that I did.
I had some trouble trying to remember which particles go with what... damn particles XP
My Geog107 exam was also today, and it was horrible just like I thought it would be.
I ended up getting a D, which is passing but still.
I put so much effort and time into studying for this exam and my grades don't reflect how much I really try.
It's so frustrating -_-.
And to be honest, the exams are completely unfair.
The test is on a computer and you get 60 random questions out of a pool of questions.
On persons exam could be filled with more of the tougher questions than the person beside them.
I don't think that's fair at all.
Everyone should have the same exam with the same questions, period.
I thought I would do a little better than I did honestly, but what can you...
I got some really tough questions, and I swear some of that stuff wasn't even brought up in class.
Stupid class. Grrr...
But, the good news is --- NO MORE GEOG 107!!!!!!!!!!!!1
YAY! I HATE THAT CLASS. And now it's over :D
I'll get a C in the class, so whatever.
I know I tried my best, so that's all that matters.

Dead week is upon me and I can already feel its weight.
This week is definitely going to be tough, stressful, and very demanding on my mind and body.
It feels like this will never end.
I have so much to do during a week that's supposed to be reserved for studying.
Instead, I will be fighting myself to make time to study on top of everything that has to be done.
I have 4 papers that need to be revised for Friday.
I have a final paper due Thursday.
I have an exam on Wednesday.
I have an English paper due Friday.
I have to study for two Geography exams.
I have to study for an Art exam.
I have to study for a Japanese exam.
T-T Somebody help me please...
I have to do well on the one geog exam because I have a 75 in the class, which is a C, and I don't want to drop to a D.
The exams in that class are crazy though, so I'm really worried.
Everything just needs to work out... I know it will...

On another note, someone is eating some gross smelling food somewhere near my room.
It smells like old bologna or something, yuck.
Only 9 more days until I'm home!!!!! yay!
No more dorm until August! Yes!
I miss my bed. I could really use it right about now.

There are only 3 weeks left until I get to go home for the summer.
To be exact, I have 22 days.
And let me tell you, I am so ready to go back.
But, before I get to go back, I have a ton of projects to do.
3 of my profs decided that It would be a good idea to assign us projects before finals.
It's just my luck that they are all due the same week, two of which are due on the same day.
It's pretty overwhelming.
Not only do I have those projects, but I also have a Japanese test to take next week, and take-home final project due may 1, and big finals to study for.
I will be very relieved when this is all over and done with.
I'm not sure how I did this semester, hopefully alright.
I know I have a C in Geog, but for the rest I have no idea.
I just want at least a 3.3 like last semester. I can only hope I did better than that though.

I'm finally starting to feel a little better :)
Hopefully, I'll be back to my old self by next Tuesday, which is Christmas, in case you didn't know!
I've been home now for 6 days, and my bags are still all over the floor.
Nothing has been unpacked yet!
It's pretty crazy in my room, there's barley room to walk.
I'll get to it eventually... maybe tomorrow, as long as I'm feeling ok.

I got my final grades today, and I'm trying very hard to be proud of myself.
My GPA for the first semester is a 3.30
I've never been lower than a 3.5  before, and even that was only once.
In high school I only got 3.7's, 3.8's, and 4.0's.
But college is a whole other ball game.
I got 3 A's, 1 B, 1 C+, and a "P" (pass).
Somehow I got an A in History, which I really wasn't expecting! It was a nice surprise :)
I also had an A in Japanese 101 and in Uni 101.
The B was in Anthropology, and while I was hoping for an A... a B is still ok :) That grading scale sucked in that class anyway :P
The C+, is you can't already guess, was in International Relations -_-
I got a 70 on the final, and a B+ on the last paper.
After ALL OF THAT STUDYING... i still only managed a C on the final.
And the lowest C possible at that.
But atleast I didn't fail the class, and I never have to take it again.
Thank God!!!!!!!!!!
International Relations is over!!!!!!! All I can do now is sigh in relief.

So, my first semester in college is now complete.
Overall, It went well, and I learned a lot, with the majority of it being life-skills.
No more finals until May!
I really hope next semester goes well.
I have a larger schedule this time, 16 credits worth.
Hopefully they aren't too difficult, and I can get a better GPA :)
And I hate to say it, but I'm really hoping that the people with an easy schedule first semester get some really hard classes...
sorry, can't help it :p

Christmas is almost here, and it doesn't even feel like it.
It doesn't feel like Christmas!!!!
Sure, the tree is up...
But, none of the presents are wrapped...
I still haven't even bought any presents...
Theres no snow :(...
I dunno, it just hasn't felt like Christmas at all this month.
It makes me sad, and now its all almost over.

But, I am excited for my friends New Years Eve party.
I've never been to one, so it should be fun.
I can't help but be a little sad though that I still don't have anyone to kiss at the first seconds of 2008...
What can I say, I'm a bit of a romantic :) a girl can dream can't she?

Finals week - the most stressful week of all WVU students this semester.
I myself have 4 exams this week, and I've been studying since Wednesday of last week.
Yesterday was particularly interesting.
I went to the Library, in hopes that there would be an open table somewhere on one of the 5 levels of the building.
Of course, there wasn't.
Every spot where there was room to study was taken up!
It was only 2:00pm -_-
I find it interesting how so many people suddenly decide to study one day, but any other day in the weeks before finals they were no where near the library...
hmmmm....

But anyways, I managed to find a spot in the Mountainlair.
It wasn't quiet, but it was a table, so I made it work.
Another thing i've noticed - talkative people make it a habit to sit by the quiet girl who is obviously studying.

I'm ready to go home already!
The weeks since Thanksgiving break have gone by pretty fast, so I'm hoping this week is similar.
I want to shop... really bad!!!!!
I just wish I wasn't broke :(
