I thought this quarter was extremely sucky.
How did I manage to slack and not commit as much to my work?
But then I checked my grades out this morning, and I’m seriosuly in shock!

I S 300: INTRO TO INFO SYS – 3.4
MKTG 490: BRAND MGMT – 3.7
SIS 201: MAKING OF 21ST CENT – 3.6
SPHSC 100: VOICE&ARTIC IMPROV – 3.8

I’m sooo happy haha. In IS, I ended up getting the lowest grade in class for one of the labs. And yeah, I’m a bit disappointed that my grade isn’t higher, but I am still happy with this score because the class was pretty fun to just sit and listen in.

For the amount of work I put into brand mgmt., this grade is way too over the top. Haha. I learned a lot though. We just didn’t put as much effort into the projects and reports as we should have.

I was seriously prepared to receive below a 3.0 for this class. My TA has consistently graded me down on the dumbest things, and this course is designed to be the weed out class for international studies majors. However, it turns out that I conquered it! My final paper was waay below average too, but I suppose I killed the final exam. Nice. I’m excited.

I don’t care about this class, but I DID learn a lot from it. Now I can go up to someone and better imitate their accents and notice how their breathing patterns are inefficient. Haha. Is this a useful skill to have? Maybe in learning new languages – which I greatly enjoy. I would have been upset if I got anything below a 3.8.

Overall, this quarter…this quarter…that’s all I can say. I’m glad it’s over and I survived with good results. I ended up making the dean’s list again after all. School starts again next week but this time on a different continent and in a different language. Let’s see how I can get through intensive Chinese language and business courses. (I leave Friday. Au revoir)
