Midterm Grades

When I logged onto Banner Web to access my student record midterm grades I was surprised to see what I got. I thought it would be the complete opposite between two classes which are geography and inquiry. The grades throughout the semester that I received in inquiry were fairly decent but in geography they were quite low. Come to find out I got a B- in geo and a C inq. I wish that I could actually see the number grade because I don’t know how to determine my GPA from a letter. I thought that was stupid until I found out that when the semesters over my GPA will be posted. I have a B- in math and a B in anthropology. I’m okay with that. I really wish that I did better than B-‘s because I was shooting for a B+. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Overall I am satisfied with my performance but there is still room for improvement. As for the C in inquiry, I am not disappointed because I don’t participate like I should in class discussions and I forget to blog sometimes so what I got is what I deserve; like right now for example this is late. For the remainder of the semester I really need to buckle down. I keep telling myself that so I need to actually stick to my promises. I know that for the rest of my college experience it’s not going to get easier but harder and if I don’t accept that right now then I won’t have the mindset to want to continue later. These grades were an eye opener so I look forward to the rest of the year.
