Updates

Posted by J. on Friday, July 9, 2010

I suppose it's about time to give anyone that is still following this blog an update, since I've been neglecting it for a few months now. My study partners kind of petered out mid-term, apparently due to some internal social conflict of some sort, so I'm afraid I stopped bothering to post. Bad Josh, no cookie.

Long story short, I finished up the term with final grades landing at - Media Production A, Chem Lab B, Chem Lecture C, Anatomy B, Tai Chi D (Grade based purely on attendance... and migraines/side effects did not help me there) - weighted GPA for the MIT application landed at 3.08. I found out at the end of June that that simply wasn't enough as "this was a very competitive year", according to my advisor. Bleh.

So, after pausing a minimum amount of time to be devastated, Eden, Cassie, and I headed down to Klamath Falls to pick up all the stuff I'd left behind, and I'm trying to move forward. I'll be staying in Vancouver and going back to PCC. I'm planning to retake pretty much every class that the application committee will look at next year in hopes of improving my grades and keeping the material semi-fresh in my brain. We'll see how things go, eh? For anyone that's interested, my fall schedule is posted below.

Oh, as a secondary thought, I've made some fairly large dietary changes over the past month, which has had the positive effect of largely muting the horrible migraines I've been suffering from over the last year. It's not a solved problem, but it's a hell of a lot closer to livable. Hopefully it'll help to let me concentrate in school as well.

Dr. McVay has posted her notes and study guide for the entire term already. Since many of you are studying with Dr. Li, you may not have access to this resource through Blackboard, so here's a link to the entire thing, zipped. Enjoy!

And we're back. Grades are in for last term, landing me at a 3.5 for that period, which I'm quite happy with. In thinking about the upcoming term, there's going to be what some might consider a policy change here. I'm still generating custom cards for A&P, since the terms we're using may not be the same used elsewhere, but posting my own notes here is a bit redundant as McVay is handing hers out digitally. (Perhaps I'll post those if people in other classes would find them useful, lemme know in comments), and I see no reason to re-invent the wheel for chemistry and such if other people have made usable cards for the respective subjects. Thus, links to appropriate subjects will be posted along with my own material. What do you think?
