Rainy Day, okay grades

So the final grades were kind of as expected. 3 As 1 b and 1 c. I could rant forever on my grades but I choose to let it go and use it as a self motivation for my next semester. Having thought about my future, I am starting to doubt my life as a Neural Engineer, I am very passionate about this field but I definitely have uncertainties about myself...just like every other person. I need my old confidence back.

The good news on the other hand is that my GPA is still above 3.6...just barely, but that's something and I still have 3 semesters improve!

Reflections for the past semester.

Things I'm proud of:

- I got more involved in my social life.
- Got good grades for the classes I thought I might not have
- Learnt presentation skills and lab report writing skills
- Knit a hat in one day
- Went to Wisconsin for a) sheep and wool festival and b) visited my dad at UWM.
- Grew some plants
- Withdrew from a class in time.


Things I feel I should have done:

-More self control over time. (Time spent doing useless things like not cleaning my room)
-Clean room more often (a clean room really makes you think clearly)
-Should have kept up with homework assignments for BME 309 for a better grade.
-Less time should be spent just dazing.


Things I have learnt the most:

-When studying for a qualitative exam, go over the notes very carefully and try to think like a professor (what kind of questions would I give to my students?) .
-Take timed study breaks 10 minutes at a time. Come right back to study after the break.
- If you spend a lot of time studying for a test, you will do great in it. ( At least an ideal grade would reward you for your effort)


Things I should do for my next semester:

- See thing I have learnt the most
- Continue with strong belief in myself.
- More time should be spent studying.


Hey future Sally, you rock =]
