Grades
I got my grades for my history and astronomy classes. I got an ‘A’ in history, and an ‘A’ in astronomy. I actually got a 104.5 (highest grade in the class) in astronomy, and the instructor told me that if he could give me an ‘A+’ he would, but Regis only allows for an ‘A’ as the highest grade.
I’m quite happy with the way things went with those two classes. I learned quite a bit in both classes, and I’m looking forward to my next two classes.
I found out last night that I only have to give three 5-7 minute speeches in my speech communications class. One is informative, one is persuasive, and one is a sales speech. All three should be very easy to do. I’m actually looking forward to them. Should be good stuff.
I’ve never made straight ‘A’s in a semester before (but I’ve come close with 3 ‘A’s and an ‘A-’), and I think that this may be the first time that I can pull it off. I also found out that if you have a 3.7 (or higher) GPA then you’ll graduate with honors. My GPA currently stands (counting history and astronomy) at 3.758, so I think I can pull that off come December of 2008 when I graduate.
I actually may not graduate in December of 2008 as I’ve been planning. I’m going to talk to my advisor next week about adding some more tech classes (for further certifications) to my degree program, and maybe adding some teacher education classes. I’d love to be a teacher someday, and the Regis program guide is intentionally vague about what is necessary to get this certification. They require you to talk to your advisor to get this information. I’m not sure why, but I’ll find out next week what it’s all about.
I’ll keep you posted.
