Final grades - Fall 2006

Well,
As most of you know, this quarter was largely taking pre-requisites that I didn't feel like I should've been subjected to (that's right... SUBJECTED TO). It had been a long time since I'd taken these classes, but I had taken them. Unfortunately the credits wouldn't transfer. SOOOOOO, I was stuck taking classes that I had slid my way through earlier in my undergraduate days.

SO Biology 111, and Biology 112 weren't that daunting to me. The only issue I had with those classes was that I just don't care about a lot of the stuff that these classes cover. I just knew I was going to have to study harder for these.

Algebra on the other hand was a BEAST! First of all, my time before entering the Doctorate program was pushed back an entire quarter because of this class! Then, there is the fact that I have NO confidence in my mathematical acumen. That's right, nothing makes me feel quite as dumb as sitting in a desk, staring at a page full of numbers. Yikes!

WELL, Bio went much as expected. In those two courses, I earned a B and a C respectively.

Algebra, again, is a different story. God completely blew me away with His grace!!!! I walked into the final clinging to a C average. I walked out of the final distraught because I KNEW I had just bombed it! I mean I knew it.
The test was multiple choice, so I knew that there was a chance... I also knew that, by rights, I should fail this course (anything below a C is failing). Well, I looked last night on Blackboard and God worked on my behalf in the heart of the professor and in that scantron machine, apparently!!!!
I GOT A B!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOW!!! 2 B's and a C are not the best grades, but they look beautiful to me!!! It's on to Chemistry and Physics next quarter :)

By the way, if anyone is a Chemistry wiz, I may need you next quarter. I think that my chemistry tutor is going to be unavailable to me, after all.
