I logged into my school website last night to check my grades, but they aren't posted in the nifty, pretty 'check your grades' portion of the site yet--which I wasn't expecting anyway, they only turned grades in on Wednesday. But I still had to check.
But, when I went to check my transcript, because I was curious to see how many units I'd completed...hey look, my spring '05 grades.
And...holy crap.
I got an A in my Geography class--which I was kind of expecting.
But then, I about fell out of my chair.
I got a B in my English class, which I was hoping for but so *not* expecting, considering I got a dismal grade on one of the really important assignments.
WOO!
~20 credits under my belt, and my cumulative GPA is 3.7.
I'm not taking any classes during the summer quarter--we're way too busy, between trips and moving and everything else. Not only that, but I couldn't find anything I wanted to take that wasn't a four day a week thing.
Lots more random nattering about school below, more for my own reference than anything else.
I really need to tackle my math requirements, which I'm really dreading. Math is not my strong point. I have to take the placement test, and I'm pretty sure I'll end up dealing with some remedial courses before I can get to the classes I'll need to transfer. I really ought to get the placement test done before fall quarter. It's far too easy to avoid it otherwise.
It'll be awhile before I can transfer, speaking of that. As of fall 2005, to transfer from a community college to a CSU school (which I'll do--SJSU is the current plan), students need 90 transferable quarter units, if I want to be considered an upper-division transfer. So far, everything I've taken is transferable, yay.
As it turns out, I *am* going to have to take a speech class, ugh, though they term it 'oral communication' rather than speech. Whichever it is, I still don't want to. Bah. :)
I'll probably head back to the 5am shift for the duration of fall and winter quarters, as I did this past year. Whether I'm going to take two classes remains to be seen--I think I'll have to manage that really carefully, because this quarter wore me out.
For now, though, I'm feeling pretty optimistic. Registration is later on this month, so we'll see. At least I'm not dead last in registering anymore! Time to go hit the fall schedule to see what options I have.
