My Spring grades are finally up:

Creating a Nation: US 1600-1877: A

I was except from the final because I had already achieved an A for the semester. That was a nice thing to know, since I had to study a bit for my other classes.

Politics and Government: A-

This was with my adviser and the head of the department. He only gave out tests, but he had some weird grade curves on them, so though I got 80s as raw scores, I wound up getting As with the curves.

World Politics: B+

I was worried about this class because she only accepted assignments through the online portal and at a few points it didn't take my assignments and I didn't find this out until the weekend before finals week. I hastily emailed her and explained the situation and gave her my missing assignments. I was mostly worried because she gave me C+ for both of the missing assignments. Luckily the final and midterm were weighted more than all the other assignments and having an A- on the midterm and a B+ on the final probably helped greatly.

Political Parties, Elections & Interest Groups: B+

This was an interesting class. The professor didn't believe in tests, so she assigned us 4 essays throughout the semester to hand in as a packet at the end of the semester. She was very easily sidetracked and we barely had lectures if at all most weeks.

Semester GPA: 3.58
overall GPA: 3.52

And to think, in highschool I had a GPA of 2.014. My GPA went up from last semester when it was a 3.47.

I withdrew from one course, Model UN because it was basically a class to go along with a trip to The Netherlands, which I couldn't afford and the teacher was the same one as the World Politics who is not a very effective instructor.

I am handing in a few essays and doing a timed essay next Monday for a credit-by-exam for English Composition so that I can take Advanced Composition in the Fall, which is required for my minor. I'm also hurting for credits ATM since they didn't take all of my credits from community college.

I spoke to a pre-law adviser who didn't help me at all in figuring out the whole deal about getting into law school, but I have a list of 10 or so colleges I where I fall comfortably into their entering-GPA and will begin studying for the LSATs, and take them at the end of the summer. I am hoping for a 160 on them, though most schools I am looking at have median scores in the 150s.
