Senioritis is hitting so hard
Thank God I graduated in December 😏
I'm actually pretty grateful that I waited to apply, after graduating last spring.
I'm paranoid now because of last year 😉 but certainly getting an exercise routine down is a good idea as well. Been working on that. Eventually I work on the healthier eating thing too. Much easier to figure that out and getting used to it now while I'm working part time than it will be during full time school!
Did the school say anything to you?
Nope. Probably because it was a lit class that nobody cared about and that had very little effect on anything as far as my academics because I already had over 150 credits.
Congrats to all of you joining our awesome class!
Anyone having trouble deciding on a school? If it were just me - single, with no family obligations - I'd go for the cheapest school, hands down. But my situation is pretty complicated, and location matters a lot. Each of the two realistic options for us has its own serious negatives, and I'm kind of stuck unless we win the lottery. Being an adult sucks sometimes.
I think I was taking 18 credits my last semester. A couple of those classes were "for fun". I don't know what the hell I thought I was doing.
One of the classes I was taking for fun was immunology 😍 Wish I'd had the chance to take virology, but I had already finished my bio degree at that point and was mostly finishing up my English requirements. Which, incidentally, only halfway worked out...got my degree but didn't end up with the lit minor.
Hands down take the cheaper option. Make the best of the time you have at your IS. You'll find a part of home there too. 100k in debt is HUGE. I looked at 5 schools. I applied to 1... There were aspects of every school that I liked better than my IS... but I knew I wasn't willing to pay OOS tuition.
I wish I had gone to a cheaper undergrad instead of a top 5 school for my major. I never dreamed I would be back getting a professional degree in something completely different, so having done it the other way....you aren't missing much. It's only your dream school because you've said it is. Make your IS your dream school 🙂
Jealous....though it depends on which ones 😛
Look into it, but always be polite and non-accusatory. The mis-entering of grades has happened to me several times (whether it be mixing up the digits of my actual grade, or me getting the grade of the person above/below me on the class roster). I usually just showed up during office hours asking for more feedback. It usually was a pretty quick "Oh, wait, hold on...." kind of thing. If it isn't you can still get valuable feedback.
Thanks, that what I am planning on. I teach supplemental instruction for the prof gen chem class, so I know him fairly well. He is not the type who admits mistakes easily/ever, so I will just have to be careful mentioning it to him, unless it is clearly a mistake when I pick up exam. Really hoping he mixed up the digits - I'd love a 96.7 %.
I actually had a prof put my grade in wrong on a final exam while I was in undergrad which altered my final grade in the class substantially. I had an A in the class overall and got a 96 on the final. She put in a 69 on the final which really messed up my course grade. Luckily, I asked her and she looked into it and realized her mistake. Even though the final grade was submitted, she filed the load of paperwork to get the grade on the transcript changed. Moral of the story, it helps to double check. However, as already stated, just be polite about it.
