Apathetic

I'm so glad this term is over. About half way through I lost most of my interest and motivation in my classes. My final paper for ENG261 was a joke. Grades haven't been posted for this class yet. I wish I cared. I liked the material and the deeper meanings, etc., but I didn't really like this class that much. I did fine and got 10/10 on all but one assignment. But by the time we had started on the final paper I didn't care at all about it. I'll probably still get a "B" in this class.

My Excel class was pretty easy despite missing numerous classes. I'll never take another weekend class again if I can help it. I haven't seen grades yet. The instructor tended to be late a lot and wasn't very organized. Probably an "A" or a "B". Meh...

My online PE class went well. I got an "A". I probably got a lot more out of this class than any of the others this term. It was a lot of work for a one credit class. Now if I can just keep up on the exercising. Stay away rain!

Calculus....calculus. I did not enjoy this class at all. I'm not sure what I got on my final exam. I feel like I did pretty horrible on it. If I'm lucky I got 70%. Unlike earlier tests, I barely studied at all for the final. I couldn't make myself care about the class. The instructor was leaving for South America yesterday evening, so he posted grades yesterday morning. I got an "A" overall for this class. I'm not sure I like that. The instructor for my first economics class talked about grade inflation at colleges in the US in general and at PCC specifically. She said that the econ department had lower average grades than any other department because they refused to inflate grades to make themselves look better. I don't know if that is true or it's just because economics is hard for a lot of people and many don't have an interest in it other than to satisfy a requirement. I have definitely come to agree with her in general about grade inflation. Mine is a classic case. I don't feel that I deserved an "A". I didn't do "A" work. My grades weren't there. My best exam was only 88%. I should have been lucky to get a "B" in this class. A lot of the grade was based on homework and lab assignments being done, even if none of the work was right or complete. He said at the start of the term that he would bump your grade up on level if you showed improvement on each test. I did that (76, 80, 88), if you don't count the final exam. I've seen this stuff in other classes too. It kind of cheapens the high GPA.

UPDATE
All of my grades are in now. I got straight "A"s. Lame.
