classes done, sanity seeping back June 14, 2009

This past Thursday was my last final for the quarter and I don’t think that I have ever breathed a bigger sigh of relief afterwards. I was ready to be done back in March, when the quarter began, so waiting until June was an exercise in terribly failed patience for me.

When it was all said and done I wiggled my way into another glorious 4.0 quarter, however, how I pulled it off was the truly glorious part of this situation.

You see, Chemistry kicked my ass this quarter, it raped my soul essentially, I had never taken it and clearly got the world’s most God awful professor to teach it. He barely spoke English, so I didn’t understand his lectures, they just kind of gave me a headache,  so I stopped going halfway through the quarter and was just essentially teaching myself . He would just put the lecture notes up on slides and use a laser pointer to do the lectures. (Really?!? This is what I’m paying for?) Yet his quizzes and tests were almost irresponsibly difficult, and the class average was usually a failing grade. Not to mention that in every single  quiz or test there were huge, glaring spelling and grammar mistakes as well as atrocious formula mistakes. I can overlook the fact that your sentence structure makes your question incomprehensible, if you at least can put the correct math on these things.

Needless to say that my nerves have been shot for three months now worrying that this jackass was going to demolish my GPA, but in the end I only needed a 92% on the final to barely squeeze into an A for the class. And you know what I got?- a motherfucking perfect score! 100%! I still can’t believe it, I keep checking my grades to make sure that it isn’t a mistake.

I also completely aced my German final, but that one isn’t terribly surprising. Then on my math, I was in the same boat as with Chem. Where I would either end up with a low to mid A, or an incredibly high B, as in 89.4% which would make me painfully crazy. But once again I received a perfect score, leaving me at a nice 95%.

To say that I was in shock when I received my grades is an absurd understatement, I was jumping off the freaking walls with glee, which is a lot of energy to muster after finals mixed with a full week of work.

I have decided however that I’m not going to do summer classes, the ones I needed were both crazy accelerated courses so they would be five weeks of class M-F for two and a half hours each everyday. So if I missed one day I’d be oh so fucked. Not to mention that after this whole year of killing myself in school my brain has run dry and frankly, I just need a damn break already.

So I’m just going to work a bunch and save everything to buy my sexy new dream car before classes start in the fall. Until then I think I’m going to just relax and work on my pale.
