So, there was a blackout earlier today. Sucks cause I was online with both my best friend and my boyfriend. (Our Internet cuts off when there's a blackout, as does our telephone line.) *sobs* And then I got hungry, but of course I couldn't heat up the dinner I didn't eat. But now it's back! Yay!
I got my grades.
Ballroom Dance - A
RLST - B+
FYI - B+
Calculus - B
Total earned credits: 3.75 (Yay, FYI and Ballroom dance!)
Total grade point: 12.25
GPA: 3.267
Whew. I didn't do as bad I thought I did in Religoius Studies (the class being "Understanding Religious Traditions in Multicultural America") because I handed in some assignments late and uhm...totally blew off a paper. Heh. Calculus was a little disappointing but that's because I know I could've gotten a notch higher if I had studied for the final a lot more than I did. FYI was a toss-up in the air. I didn't know what to expect in Art's class. And ballroom dance...forever will I be grateful to it because without it, my GPA would've dipped below a 3.0 and might've been in scholarship bind!
However...I just checked my scholarship letter and since I'm an international and not given a Presidential or Eaton Scholarship, there is no GPA cut-off. It just said something among the lines of "good academic standing". In fact...I think I emailed Beloit about it before May 1st, 2006 about what it meant...
SWEET!
Not bad for my first full semester at Beloit... I just hope I can hold onto it next semester with five classes!
I still ponder that question I asked. I do suppose it's one of those that you can't answer off-hand but can find examples to while you're doing something. Still, I feel dissatisfied with this...evasive answer. I mean...I feel like...there's nothing here, or there, that would be welcoming. Nothing nothing nothing. I have to stop comparing myself to others, but how can I when my culture's like that?
