First BYU-I Exam

Yesterday, i took my first exam here at BYU-Idaho. I went into it a little nervous but only because it was the first test. It was math. Easy math. The first few chapters. As I started the test, I felt pretty confident, as I ended the test, I felt confident, as I left the testing center, I felt confident. I thought that i would get like a 96% if not a perfect score. I opened up my grade book this morning to check my score. 84%. I was so disappointed. I thought that I did so good but i guess in reality, I missed four problems. I don't know which ones but I would be interested to find out. Now is the time to buckle down and study harder so that I can do better. My overall grade in that class is now tetering on the edge of the A-B line. Well, I better go study.

The first test is always the hardest. After that, you know what to expect. Better luck on the next one!

#6 Move On

Topic #6: Your Going To/Never Going To Move Away Because... In my dreams, I live in a quaint loft in New York City. That is, before I move into my penthouse on the upper-east side of Manhattan. Not to mention a beach hose in LA. In my reality, I have lived in Wyoming and Arizona and even a few months in Europe and I still find myself back in my hometown. So what do I actually want? I'm not entirely sure. I love being in my hometown. It's familiar. I have my parents here. My sisters are a short drive away. We can all get together every so often...ya know, like families do. When I moved to Wyoming to follow a job, however, there was a sense of finally becoming an adult. I was on my own. Completely responsible for myself, and I did so successfully until my company laid me off and hung me out to dry. The one major drawback of that time was not being around family for holidays. I blame the weather and the company I worked for. The actual being away part wasn't too bad....

Back to Reality

This past week has been a little more eye opening. I guess the big thing is all about my grades. Throughout the semester, prior to this week, I have somehow kept my averages in all of my classes above a 90%. I am amazed because usually my work ethic is below average. I am proud to say that this semester has been different. I have done all of my homework on time. Now to this past week. I have still completed all of my assignments on time but a few of my grades have taken a hit. In my science class, I found out that an assignment that we do on a weekly basis was not receiving any points for med, in fact, I was getting zeros in that category. Upon talking with the teacher, I found out that I turned them in to the wrong place and that he could give me partial credit but not full credit. After multiple conversations, emails, and a little note of displeasure via our learning journals, I have managed to get the grade from a D+ at the beginning of the week to a solid B. Much better ...
