Final Marks (^^);

So...I...um...got my marks.... I passed Macroeconomics with a C which makes me go WTF?! I thought I failed that course. I failed Asian History though... I thought I would fail Economics... I have to apply myself more next year. My best mark was of course Japanese. I passed everything else just barely... I am going to retake the courses I failed, so Sociology, and the History Course. I have to see about a Commerce major. OMG I am so scared. I feel so stupid. I tried harder second semester I swear but I just suck. :'(

Summer

So exams are done. I would have posted sooner but my netbook was sent to Ontario for repairs. I knowingly failed Macroeconomics because I left most of the exam blank. I really did not like the professor or the teaching style. I have to go to the university because I can't register for courses, and I can't see my marks because I have an "outstanding payment", and I did pay off my account by the way. I am probably going to be put on academic probation next year. I compared the Bachelor of Arts Programme, and the Commerce Programme, and I like Commerce more so I am going to see if I can make the switch. I still want to minor in Japanese studies though. I also need Psychology which I am redoing, and Economics, which I am redoing with a different professor. I will probably redo Sociology eventually as well. I really want to do well. I also want to go to Japan, on the exchange program quite badly. I had applied for a second job with the university but I lost out due to seniority, even though I was perfect for the job, it was an Resident Assisant Job for the Japanese Students that stay for the summer. I do have a Japanese conversation partner for the summer though, and I am quite excited for that. I will post throughout the summer because I am still involved with the university in some way~ I will also post again when I find out my marks, and get this student account thing fixed.

Exams Next Week

Exams next week, ohhh gawd. D: I am currently under the weather, and trying to study without passing out. I have an English Exam Thursday, Japanese Exam Friday, History Exam Saturday, Economics exam the next Tuesday or Wednesday, and Commerce Exam Friday. I cannot fail any course this time, if I do I am so screwed. I am .1 point below the acceptable Grade Point average. I really need to do well since I failed Sociology last semester which I failed, and hated, and probably should have dropped.

The School Year is Almost Over

Last time I posted was probably in early February. It's March now. Also daylight savings has gone by.
I was really busy with three essays due two weeks ago, and work had me completely overwhelmed. It is okay now. I have an Macroeconomics assignment due Friday. I am going to skip the classes, and read the textbook instead, and go to tutorial, our professor teaches us nothing. I bombed that midterm. I also bombed the history midterm. I didn't do as good as I thought I did on the Japanese midterm. I hate labs for Commerce, they suck, the group never contacts me.
The Society of All Nations Banquet was the other night, and it was quite fun.
Spring is upon us. So is Easter weekend, and EXAMS! *panics* I really need to work hard.
I applied to be an RA for the Summer Japanese students. I would absolutely love to have that job. <3 I really love the Japanese students.
I participated in a Japanese Speech Contest the other day, and was shaking like a leaf. We only had a week to prepare, and I re-typed the essay twice. It was very nerve-wracking, but very good practice.
I don't know when I will remember to post again. See you around.

I've Been Busy

When was the last time I updated? Sorry, I forgot about this blog.
Midterms are over, thank God. I really screwed up my English midterm, I was stressed out do a Financial Situation. I never filled out my Confirmation of Earnings back in September so my second half of my student loan hasn't come in yet. They sent me the forms for it, and I didn't even see it in the envelope, and I found it today. I spent 4 hours studying for the Making of Modern Asia, and I have one article left to read, and of course it was on the midterm, it's 40 pages long, and long winded so I am reading it during Independent Study week. In Economics I have been ding surprisingly well assignment wise. I studied a bit for the midterm but I didn't remember all the equations. Japanese, the midterm was a breeze~ Although last week the teacher couldn't come in on Monday, Wednesday the weather was bad so class was canceled so we had class at lab time on Thursday, which was a very busy day. I had English, went and got my Confirmation of Earnings form filled out at work, had a History midterm, had to go get my cell phone which I left at home, had an economics midterm, and then had Japanese class. We studied at the cafe in the student centre which was great fun.
I went to the Chinese New Year celebration hosted by the Chinese Student Association, and that was great fun, this was held two weeks before the actual date though. We celebrated Chinese New Year by going to the local Canadian Vietnamese Restaurant, and we got a lottery ticket. I gave out Valentine's day cards for Valentine's Day, even to the guy I like, who I constantly run away from, and I have to stop that.
I wonder what is going to happen now?

2nd Semester First Day

My first class today was English. I left the house late. I also had to check the campus map to see where my English class was because I had no clue where the building was. Too bad the map, and the actual campus layout doesn't really correspond. I went into the wrong building, and when I went to check the map on the wall down the short flight of stairs to see what building it was I didn't see or even bother to look down, and tripped over the step there. I then realized that it was the building behind the one I was in. Not all the buildings are properly marked. I was late for class, and when I walked into the class it was like the first day of first semester all over again. I was sitting beside someone from my high school, and someone else from the high school was in the class. I am going to enjoy English, it is very interesting.
I went to Asian History with Jill and Howard. :D I am so glad they are in the class. This class will be fun as well.
It was a god thing Jill is also in the same Economics class as me because when I wrote down the room for the lab, and the class I screwed them up. Our professor is a squirrel. This class should be enjoyable too.
I am going to fight this semester, and not procrastinate.

Winter Semester Starts Soon

The Christmas Break is done tomorrow since it will be my last day off.
I checked my student email and found emails from my Japanese teacher, and since there are so many people in the Introductory Japanese II class A she is requesting that some people switch into class B, and I can't do that because I like having friends in the class that I know.
I was going through my textbooks because there is a used textbook sale, and I can sell all my books except for the Japanese ones. That's roughly 450$ worth of books. My cat kitten Mochi chewed on Still Blaming Children by: Bernard Schissel, and I didn't like the book, apparently neither did Mochi.
This semester I have:
Introductory Japanese II
Business Studies and Tutorial to Commerce Lab
Introduction to Principles of Literary Analysis
The Making of Modern Asia
Principles of Macroeconomics and Tutorial Macroeconomics Lab
I have to work really hard this semester to redeem myself. I will keep up with my readings, and go to all of my labs. I will not do what I did last semester which was stupid, and reckless. I will study for my midterms as well, even though I did really good on the Sacred Space Holy Land Midterm, and I winged it.
