Still Hanging In There
School - 8 Comments » - Posted on December, 8 at 8:50 am
So I’ve still got a shot at passing Anthropology 355 and I’m gonna be hanging in there, studying my heart out this weekend, and taking the final on Monday. The professor answered my email asking about my class standing with some good news.
First of all, I got an 89% on the practical exam we just took, one of the higher grades too I imagine, so I am exceptionally pleased with that because that is the highest grade I’ve gotten in his class to date! Nothing at all like my usual A-student self huh? The rest of the good news is this, because of the 100 points extra credit I earned I have a high C right now going into the final. In his class apparently it’s not so much the percentage you make on the assignments but the points you acquire. Even though I got low grades, I got the points. 117 out of 150 might be a 79% but it’s still over a hundred points. The grades are based on the total number of points a student has in the class and I have upwards of 600, which of the possible points thus far, puts me in the C range.
The final is worth 200, so if I get 100 points on it (a 50%) I’ll keep my C. But if I get 130 or more points on it I’ll get a B in the class. So I’m hanging in there, I’ve still got a prayer. In fact, I’ve got a pretty damn good shot because the worst of my exams has always been a minimum of 100 points. 
So send your thoughts, best wishes, and prayers my way please one more time. I’m going for the gold! Ganbare Joana, you can do this! 
YOSH!

Yay hon that’s really great news. Study hard and I’m sure you’ll get at least enough to pass. You’re my brilliant Lady Joanana after all.
Best of luck! I’m sure you’ll do great!
Also, do you think you can email me your addy? I wanted to send you a Christmas card and I seem to have misplaced it….
Ganbatte! Hope you get a B, rather than a C!
And Cowboy Country? Uh-oh. Now Mari is going to have to put Steelers signs up on Misstuned…
Julie,
THank you hun. I’m trying, trying real hard. I’ve been studying almost non-stop since I got out of my History of Christianity exam on Saturday (even at work) and I’ve pretty much covered everything I need to, now I just need to go back over some stuff and make sure it sunk in.
Moira-chan,
GASP! You lost my addy? For shame!
Sure I’ll email it to you in just a sec.
Thanks Mayra, I’m hoping I can do well to. I seem to have a habit of having a class that scares me my final semester of my senior year. Geometry in HS and now Anth 355 in Uni. I’m a trip aren’t I?
Mari,
Thank you! ^_^ I’m aiming for the B as well, but if I get a C I’ll be glad. It’ll mean I passed and I wasn’t one of he many who fail his class on average.
Wait…are you graduating this semester??
Moira,
Yuppers! =^_^=
Where you been kiddo?
Just kidding. A lot of people didn’t realize it because I didn’t send out invites to the graduation since I didn’t plan on walking. But my mom won and I’m walking. 
Although, she forgot to order the invites. *rolls eyes*
