Lily's Uni journey

[LilyElizabeth]

New semester - new class.

 

This quarter I'm taking a Math class. It's frustrating, and the questions on the test aren't all covered by the lecture. So, I'm struggling to figure them out. I can't wait for this class to be over! I've given up worrying about my GPA and just hoping to pass this class with a C or better.

[Ryrin]

That’s the way to look at it. I did that with math and science because I really dislike those.

[Minuet]

I use to tutor math. Depends on what it is I suppose. I can't stand quadratic equations. I know how to do them, just detest them is all. I prefer trig. 

 

Good luck, I know how hard it is to study when you don't like the subject. I am actually thinking of taking some courses. Lily you have inspired me. 

[LilyElizabeth]

The problem is that I can get really comfortable with the material in the textbook, and then they throw something else on the test and in the homework. It's not right and it's frustrating. 

[LilyElizabeth]

And, I also used to tutor Math!

[LilyElizabeth]

Well, I survived the Math class. I was really concerned that I might not pass it, but I did, with a B+. It's my first non-A grade in my whole college career, but I'll take it and be happy.

Well done

[Ryrin]

Congrats!!!!!

[LilyElizabeth]

Thanks. I stressed so much over that grade!

[Ryrin]

You did good!!!

[LilyElizabeth]

Well.... it helped that the teacher graded on a curve and changed a lot of my scores. lol

Hey, you can post!!!

[LilyElizabeth]

It's the first week of Developmental Psych and, like every other class, there is a week and a half's worth of work to do. To top that off, I got my weeks confused and thought this was spring break, so I offered to work more hours. They have scheduled me even more hours than I agreed to. I'll be chatting with them about that today. Meanwhile, I'm just a bit panicked. I know, deep breaths and put one foot in front of the other until it's done. 

[LilyElizabeth]

I survived the first week. I did better than survive. So, far, everything that has been graded is 100%, even though I didn't have time to read 2 of the 3 chapters. I'm glad there is an index in the back of the book lol. 

[LilyElizabeth]

It's the beginning of Week 3 and I'm holding my own with an A+ so far. I'm hoping to catch up on the reading a little this week. 

[Ryrin]

How goes it???

[LilyElizabeth]

I'm disappointed. This is the class that I really wanted to take and learn the stuff, and I don't have time to do any reading. I'm watching the lectures and taking the quizzes off of them alone. There is usually one or two questions that weren't covered, so I look them up in the text. It's been working so far. I have an A at this point and I don't see that changing. It'a been a good class and there are only 2 weeks left to go and then summer break! I have so much to do over the break - things I don't have time for now.

You can do the reading later if it really interests you.

[LilyElizabeth]

I know. I plan to do it over the summer break. 

[LilyElizabeth]

Well, I got an A in Developmental Psych. It was borderline between an A and an A-. She rounded up. I enjoyed that class and would gladly take another from her. Now, a nice long break until August.

Just savor the breaks. It's so nice when you just have to worry about a job and not class too.

[LilyElizabeth]

I honestly have no idea how I am going to manage both school and work next Fall. I'm enjoying and being productive this summer. Saturdays are cleaning days. Sundays are church and just hanging out.

Best of luck! I went to uni as a mature student (age 30) and loved it it turned my life around
