After a half of a semester here at southern, I feel that I am in a good spot. I came to this school mainly because of football, and I liked the campus, but the reason I am here is for academics and they definitely come first.
I had trouble in one class, which was microeconomics. This class is somewhat challenging, but I thought that I knew the information well. Once I got to the tests, however I did not do so well. This whole class is based on tests too, so when I got a 61% on the first test it was kind of an eye opener. The teacher lets you drop one test though so I just figured I would study a lot harder the next test and then the first one will not matter. So I studied a lot for the second test, and did not do well, in fact I did worse than before. That’s why I decided to drop that course, I will probably take it again next semester and maybe a different teacher will be a different story, but we will see.
Other than my microeconomics grade I feel that I am sitting pretty well. I have an A in anthropology and I am doing well in Inquiry and Computer Science. At the same time, I can raise all of those grades, which will be my goal for the second part of the semester.
The class I have to focus on the most the rest of the way is Zoology. It is a Monday and Wednesday lecture class and a Friday lab. It is almost like having two different classes because we have different teachers and talk about completely different things. The tests are tough because the words we have to study are very difficult. They are not normal words and they are very long, which makes it difficult to memorize. I have a C right now, but I don’t think that it will be a problem to raise.
