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 =]

I like keeping up with writing down how I feel.

Iim going to start several themed tags for my blog. Heh blog sounds so ancient. Bad feelings include procrastinate on ssleeping early. Ther must be some type of method to prevent sleeping that late. I also notice how I feel the second day has a lot to do with how I slept the night before. I will definitely remind myself of it. Evan and I have been running out of shows to catch up on, it has just been us together minding our own business about half the time. But I really enjoy his presence, makes me feel less alone. I should get back to study.exam in 5 hours. Good luck!
