So my grades for the 2nd semester have been uploaded.
There’s only a slight tinge of disappointment, but this sorta disappointment would warrant other people to throw eggs at me.
So Interpersonal Communication was the expected A, so no qualms about it hitting an A as well. I guess it kinda worked for me even more so, considering all the relational pain I’ve been through getting my heart broken. I guess face-saving techniques and relational maintenance came naturally after all that heartache.
Statistics in Social Sciences (SOC294) is THE module that pulled everything down. I think Audrey and I are contemplating on retaking it in Spring 11, to go through the rigorous hell of a magic carpet ride with Princess Jasmine. Meh. Well, a minimum C grade is in order to get into our majors (according to UB standards) so I’m extremely relieved.
Research Paper writing aka ESL408 was rather unjustified. As much as this grade could have made any kid happy, I wanted a non-negative A. I will shut up now. But this was a module I really enjoyed so now to find a suitable semester to retake my Written English aka ESL407 (a B+ is gross for ESL407!)
Organizational Communication (COM217) was probably a mood lifter. Considering the erratic grading system of the professor, I expected no more than a B but was greeted with an A-. I could so remember the day I screamed out loud at 313 Orchard upon checking my results. Ha! Scared the crap outta Christina with my dilated pupils and hoarse voice. Mega kudos to Adrian, Pathma & Christina, as well as Willin Low from Wild Rocket for being part of the group project. 92% is an effing high score to beat, bitches!
Introduction to Psychology fared better than I thought. Getting a B+ after my disappointing mid sem exams was a colon capital d moment for me. But through this course got me convinced that Psychology’s interesting as a core elective, but not as a major! I can’t stand memory work /slitswrist
Overall, my CGPA is sustained at 3.448, a slight increase from last semesters 3.338 so yay!
Next semester, we are looking at Public Speaking, Social Research Methods, Intercultural Communication & Mass Communication Theory. I’m looking at straight As or A-s for these! No more pesky math modules to pull me down (thanks SOC294 and MTH115, you’ve been a real heckuva bitch for my scores)
Go go go!
that sounds like a lot of courses you want to retake that might not totally be necessary leh.. How long do you intend to study??
i calculated, and as a poly student, i can grad by 2012, and complete all required modules by fall ’11. tt leaves me one free semester before graduation.
