well, after a long semester that involved some really deep depression bits and some complete mental breakdowns leading to me putting way less effort that I'd like into my classes, I managed to walk away with all B's and gently caress it thats good enough for me

I have my finals next week but am feeling Bs as well. I feel like I turned a corner this semester and have a clearer head. I also was accidentally flashed today. People forget they aren't wearing underwear or something.

I'm about to submit some rather low effort final projects. One class even without turning it in I'd have a 70 so I don't care, the other I'm hoping for a B so I finish the class with at least a B to B+. After this semester is over all I have is a 3 week summer fieldwork course, then an internship for the rest of the semester (and hopefully into fall) + one class in Fall. Then graduate with somewhere between a 3.00 and 3.3 depending on how lovely I did this semester and my 2 remaining courses.

I'm thinking bowling and photography. one was a one credit class and one was a two credit class. 18 credit hours. i took nothing less than 15 credit hours my entire time going to school. it means i graduated a semester earlier than people usually do and i also have 138 credits, 12 shy of the CPA requirement.

Why a EXSC class is required to graduate is beyond me, but what do I care. I bagged 61 credits and I loving graduated after a hell of a semester. I still can't believe my Creative Writing professor wouldn't let me make up a quiz that I missed for my Mom's funeral.

I have two semesters left and I'm oh so slowly dragging my rear end up to a cumulative 3.0 US History since 1865 - A (because the core curriculum at my last school is different than the core curriculum of this one) Fundamentals of math - A (I got academic forgiveness to have the Fs and Ds taken out of my GPA calculation, but that also wiped out my math credit) American Political Institutions - B (poli sci minor) Russia since 1855 - B Resident GPA is a 3.62 but because of the albatross of bad grades from my last school around my neck, my cumulative is currently a 2.98 I got two semesters to drag that up before I graduate and I'm trying to qualify for an honors society before I do. It requires a 3.0 cumulative and a 3.1 in my major and currently my major GPA is 3.077 By the end of next semester I should have that. It's a shame there's not really a way to recognize that I've been kicking rear end since I started school again other than the dean's list letters.

https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3478841&pagenumber=554&perpage=40 Grad student graveyard thread should be able to help a little more than here. I think the answer is it depends, on subject, journal and what kind of support you have. McNally the only GPA recognition and approval that really matters is your own. It's just a list and some numbers. It doesn't reflect you. Just take pride in your ability to move past a lot of poo poo and succeed. lightpole fucked around with this message at 15:46 on May 15, 2018 |

I don't remember what ACE stands for but you did give a transcript from your military experience to the school right? https://jst.doded.mil/smart/dodMandatoryBannerForm/submit.do You might not get much but anything helps. I got out of a pt class because gently caress trying to play soccer or whatever with a bunch of 17 year olds Edit: ACE= American council on education, doh.

Thanks everyone. I'll ask around and see what they have. Even if it's a rinky dink loving journal, I'll be happy. It basically describes how photographers use their photographs to create a sense of hyper-reality (Baudrillard and Simulacra). I deviate by applying semiotics analysis on the how and not the why. It's not ground breaking, though the idea is interesting, that we can decipher a lot from photographs even if the photographer didn't intend for that to happen. Color and perspective paint a lot of the story. We don't eat our food at plate level but take pictures of our food like that. I also just got an email confirming one of the scholarships I applied to. It went through and I was accepted! Thanks for the help and motivation ya'll.

Well, That was fun. The Bad news is I am switching from Electrical Engineering to the Micro Electromechanical program and I am wait listed for the clean room classes. Which means Next semester is Statistics, Electronic Fabrication, and CAD followed by 5 credits of Gen Chem. And I was so looking forward to being done with Math... The Good news is I passed Circuits and Programmable Logic Controllers with High B's, and nothing is wasted in the move. The field is emerging and a dozen companies are snatching up students in the program as soon as they are enrolled for learn and earn internships. The Bitchin news is that these companies are already knocking on my door. There's that sense of being popular that I have been chasing for 25 years... It's fun having that epiphany that you are 33 and climbing wind turbines and poo poo on high mileage knees probably isn't the best plan... No, I will take the scrubs, mask and air conditioned clean room, sitting in a chair and using my hands... Now where's that electric fly swatter... It's time to build a mini Tesla coil!

An internship is better than nothing. If they are interning you, they are interested in you. If it doesn't work out, you have it on your resume. The utilities are hurting for that poo poo, don't sweat it and keep your options open.
