Vene Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Well, finished up this semester with an A and two A-'s, I can live with that. educdoc and Munashi 2
Taeyers Posted December 16, 2014 Posted December 16, 2014 Feeling powerfully sorry for myself on account of having to get up at 5:30 for a hellish final tomorrow morning. On the bright side, after that final I get to go to breakfast with the other first years, be done with this semester, and then get 2 weeks off. On the less bright side, the true final for this hellish class will be the written prelim in May, and even thinking about having to review the insane amount of difficult material for 8 hours worth of essay exam in 5 months makes me want to scrap everything and start over in a different life.Â
Threeboysmom Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) Final grades posted today I have a 4.0 I thought I was going to cry from happiness. Edited December 17, 2014 by Threeboysmom educdoc, justastudent and Chianti 3
music Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 All my papers are in and I'm waiting on grades. Starting to get ahead with reading for next quarter. It feels soooo good to read extremely slowly I'm also starting to apply for summer fieldwork funding, which is very exciting, and getting reacquainted with my violin and lie-ins.
1WheeledGeo Posted December 18, 2014 Posted December 18, 2014 First semester is done! Jazzed about my final grades and moving into logistics mode. Leaving Dec 31 for three wks of field work mapping mid- and lower-crustal rocks in NZ. Data for the thesis! educdoc 1
educdoc Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 A few hours ago i just turned in the last paper of the first quarter. Now I can relax for a day or two. Or maybe for half a day...
ecm07e Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I am definitely ready to jump into my next two classes [i go part time because being a teacher sucks the life out of you]. I didn't do as well as I could have this semester for a multitude of reasons. Ready to start over. However, one of my classes doesn't even have a booklist out yetÂ
Chianti Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) Just thought of this and I can't stop giggling. Sums up my semester though.  Edited December 19, 2014 by Chianti iPsych, Threeboysmom, PhoenixKing and 1 other 4
starofdawn Posted December 19, 2014 Posted December 19, 2014 I completely bombed my final exam and I'll be happy to end up with a 3.0 this quarter. I poured many hours into this class, and completely flubbed the final for lots of many stupid, little reasons. Sigh. Definitely feeling inadequate right now.

UCSD engineering courses are ridiculously hard -- I'm an undergrad there and I hear so many horror stories of insane exams from my friends (probably the worst I heard was of some class where the final was 2 questions with no partial credit, wtf). I can only imagine how difficult the graduate courses are! You survived, and that is something to be proud of
Threeboysmom Posted December 20, 2014 Author Posted December 20, 2014 Just thought of this and I can't stop giggling. Sums up my semester though.    Boy can I relate,  hilarious! I am definitely ready to jump into my next two classes [i go part time because being a teacher sucks the life out of you]. I didn't do as well as I could have this semester for a multitude of reasons. Ready to start over. However, one of my classes doesn't even have a booklist out yet I am a homeschool mom so I can understand the teacher part.  I hate it when I'm ready to order books to get a jump start on my reading and they aren't posted.  Wishing you the best next semester.   I completely bombed my final exam and I'll be happy to end up with a 3.0 this quarter. I poured many hours into this class, and completely flubbed the final for lots of many stupid, little reasons. Sigh. Definitely feeling inadequate right now. Sorry to hear that you bombed your final exam.  Please don't feel inadequate, if it didn't kill you it will make you stronger.  Learn from your mistakes and apply those lessons to future situations.  Good luck.

educdoc Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I checked the grades system and I got As in all courses! I wasn't so sure about one of them but I got 4.0 overall. I am glad but i know somewhere along the way I'll get an A- somehow. No matter how hard I tried in the past (my master's, etc), I always had an A- there. Although a GPA of 3.97 is not that bad though as a grad student. Congrats for a first semester/quarter to all of us! We survived! And happy holidays! maelia8 and Threeboysmom 2

Guest criminologist Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Took 3 classes/ 9 credit hours and got all A's this semester, but don't feel like I worked that hard.
Threeboysmom Posted December 23, 2014 Author Posted December 23, 2014 Took 3 classes/ 9 credit hours and got all A's this semester, but don't feel like I worked that hard. Great job! I only took six hours and I busted my butt. ecm07e 1

NavyMom Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Who's ready for spring semester? Â I am totally ready. Â Â Took 3 classes/ 9 credit hours and got all A's this semester, but don't feel like I worked that hard. Â I got an A- and a B... but I am okay with that. Â My classes were hard as you-know-what!
educdoc Posted December 31, 2014 Posted December 31, 2014 I've had 4 classes in Fall, 14 credits total. One of the courses was a professional seminar without actual grades, only C/NC but we still needed to prepare the assignments for it to get credit. For Winter quarter I am enrolled in only 3 classes, 12 credits, two of them I really wanted to take, one was mandatory.
maelia8 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 I finally got back my grades for this term and I am so happy!!! An A and an A+ in my grad seminars, and a pass in my language class! It's nice to know that when I thought I was working very hard, my fears of creating substandard work despite the amount of effort were unfounded. Thank goodness

Threeboysmom Posted January 7, 2015 Author Posted January 7, 2015 I'm actually reading a book for pleasure during these last few days of freedom. Living la vida loca!
educdoc Posted January 7, 2015 Posted January 7, 2015 Lucky! Winter quarter already started here and we have a full week. Good luck in your new quarter/semester!
