Michele 1 #1 December 29, 2006 For those of you who have been incredibly supportive of me going back to school at this old age, and helping me via pm's with "tutoring" and cheerleading, I wanted to let you know the results of this last semester. Introductory Algebra, 5 units: A Biology, 4 units: A and an offer to assist in teaching lab over summer...Political Science, 3 units: A Anatomy, 5 units A. in other words, straight As for me! Apparently, Gawain, you're right again...there is NO spoon. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!!!!! I'm pretty pleased. I couldn't do better, and it's a very good return to college. And the best news? I don't have to do any more algebra (I don't think...I'll know for sure in January). Tee hee...Merry Christmas to me, a few days late... Thanks to all who've gone out of their way to help me get through this last semester; you all have made a difference, and I really appreciate the confidence you had in me...even when I didn't have it in myself.

sunshine 2 #4 December 29, 2006 Isn't it funny how you care so much about grades when you're an adult but don't care when you're a teenager? Congrats. ___________________________________________ meow I get a Mike hug! I get a Mike hug! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #5 December 29, 2006 QuoteIsn't it funny how you care so much about grades when you're an adult but don't care when you're a teenager? Congrats. Well, yeah... when I went to school on my parents' dime, I wasn't as dedicated. I think my GPA was something like 2.3 with two LOAs and a final WD 3 courses short of the degree. Later when I was on my own and went back to school, I made sure my own dime counted... and turned out a 3.92 GPA for my degree.

SmilingPhoenix 0 #7 December 29, 2006 Dang! I can't decide if you rock or just totally suck Yup, must be that you TOTALLY ROCK! Congrats!Because life is an adventure - it may not be the one you planned, but then it wouldn't be an adventure! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybytch 273 #8 December 29, 2006 Damn. Your teachers are way faster than mine. I only know two of my grades out of four classes so far - and I was pretty sure of those two before they posted them. Hopefully my history teacher is generous, cuz I don't think I did as good on the final as I did on the other test and two papers in his class...

legalart 0 #9 December 29, 2006 4.0, tried like a MOFO to achieve this goal in my college career, never happened. Very impressive. Now go jump out of a airplane. I'll be thinking of you while visiting the babies in gooberville. Take the TA position, it helps when it comes to grad school recommendations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cocheese 0 #10 December 29, 2006 All A's? That's disgusting. Think of all the young kids with fresh minds that you raised the bar on. Now they're going to drop out and end up like me or something. Meanwhile you're about ready to retire, yet you take a good job from some young kid that should be paying for your social security. So on behalf of all those party animal younger students, I say : "you totally suck" But you're one of the coolest kids in college so we'll let it slide this time. Yea go jump. Sleep, or whatever you've been missing. It will all pay off soon if it hasn't already. Congratulations. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I'm back now, enjoying (hah, not really...) the challenge, and learning lots of stuff I never knew before (suspected, but didn't know). I'm pretty damned proud of the A in anatomy, and the offer to help in the lab over summer from my bio professor. Those two things, if nothing else, have bolstered my confidence that I can, in fact, do this...and do it right. And...Dad's pretty proud. And that makes me glad.

Do you realize how absolutely strange it is to be the "Mom" to a bunch of college kids? And be the one they ask to ask the instructor something because I have a "better relationship" with them then they do (and only because I ask, ask, ask tons of questions, and participate in their teaching and my learning...that's the only reason I have a better relationship...not because I'm smarter or anything...). It's odd. I remember about 10 weeks into this, talking to a kid who was trying to decide if he should drop the class. He told me "yeah, but you get this. You understand this stuff!" (in bio). I told him no, I'm no smarter, but I might be working harder and studying more than he is. He told me "well, I'll just take this over next semester." And that's the difference between a 20 year old and me...I don't like this, don't want to do it again, so might as well do it right this time. And also, I just don't have time to "do it next semester..."...not at this age. But at his age, I did. He ended up dropping the class. But it's all good...I can't help everyone, and I can only do what I do. But it's kinda strange to have others ask about what classes you're in next semester so they can get the same ones...
