How did you do this year?

[VidelCoolGirl]

Well, since junior high, high school, and college years are just about over, how did you do overall? Surprisingly, I got full credit in every class I took this year. This now puts me at Junior standing status. I can graduate early!

[Haro!]

Go to hell. I mean I didn't do well.

[The Million Dollar Prons]

This is a December thread in June.

I gyrated my hips for at least an hour a day all year.

[MonkeyBoy0314]

Considering I had a strong case of senioritis that only got worse throughout the year, I did very well (honor roll status as usual)

I meant in school. I...I guess I should have put that in the title.

[Caine]

by normal stanfards, very well
By my standards, Well, i don't have standards, but I feel like I should feel like I should ahve done better, if that makes any sense. my grades were down.

I feel like I spent too much time for what I got out of most of my classes, especially math and chem. I probably took too heavy a work load, but I'm going to take an even harder one next year. Hooray for common sense.

[Scandiadream]

I got A's in my two Spring semester classes. And so far in both my summer classes I have 100%. Work is going quite well. Health-wise I'm fine. Social life is okay. Pets are good. I'm doing many more things at the gym. I got back into contact with friends I had not heard about in many years. Only thing missing is what is usually missing.

[Holy Knight]

I wasn't much higher than the classe's averages despite having less courses this semester than my previous ones. I wasn't motivated to do much beyond passing, anyway. There just wasn't anything that was useful to be learned, except for some choice bits from biochemistry. I cared more about what I learned out of class, so I had more focus on that.

Last semester I got solid grades, despite it being the hardest 4 months I had to go through so far.

Sadly, even though I'm in college I still don't study enough. Beyond getting to the few classes I want, there isn't anything interesting that is offered.

[Hara!]

I´ll tell you when I´m out of summer school.

[Tenou]

I graduated! Five grueling years and I've finally finished my undergrad.
For a longer, more convoluted version of my graduation, you can view this post (http://www.animenation.net/forums/showpost.php?p=6149478&postcount=11).
As for GPA... well, I can still get into the B.Ed. program, and that's all I care about.

[Illusions-chan]

Summa cum laude.... Though I'm really surprised about it.

[Vaikyuko]

Did pretty much perfect, graduated a year early, am waiting for college.

[Nano]

I did okay, I'm going to pass my college course soon, then go on to the higher one. Then the year will get better, Leeds festival, going out partying.....just boring stuff really..

[CrossboneGundam]

I didn't go to school. I got a job. And then quit. I'm going to start school this month, though.

[KyouryokuSenshi]

I graduated high school last Thursday. As far as grades go, I did my best in Freshman and Sophomore year and got mostly A's and B's. Junior and Senior year wasn't as great but I transfered to a different district with higher scholarly expectations which had a great deal of work, more so than the last district I was in. But I still pulled through with mainly B's and a few C's.

[Dr. Ezra]

A bragging thread. Great.

I did just fine considering I only took two classes.

[Evil_Koala]

I passed all my classes =D

I just took 2 and I still did bad.

[Onigiri]

I stopped going to HS in april.
So, not too good?

[F Stop]

I finished college 6 years ago. I remember absolutely none of it.

[gameoffreak8]

I took four classes last semester and I passed these classes without any problem. I will taking four classes this fall.

[Kali-chan]

I still have to wait for exams to finish next week, but I think I'm doing good!

OK. I did some awesome piano transcriptions for my favourite anime OPs...

And I wrote a few good pieces. Also, I think I've completely mastered my WINDSCAR!

One thing I have NEVER understood is why Americans and Europeans begin/end their school years halfway through the real year. It doesn't make any sense at all.

Anyway so far this year I'm doing very ******. I hate uni. >_<

Duh.

[superplough]

Lol what? Harvest? :huh:

[Sinister Wave]

I failed science, but other than that I think I did pretty well.
I won't know for sure for another week or so. We're finishing up finals right now, then school lets out for summer vacation.

[Midoriko87]

As good as could be expected... that is, kinda-sorta horrible. :lol: I dunno, I "dropped" a couple of classes. I made a seriously bad mistake when choosing my classes for 1st Semester, which kinda-sorta screwed up a few of my 2nd Semester classes. It's just like, that 2 that should've been negative, but you forgot to write the minus sign...

Well, not to worry. I'm confident in my Reboundiness. :D Man, I'm so screwed... :lol: Naw, I'm cool. I learned some valuable lessons, the courses weren't nothin' but a thang (They were definitely a "thing"). :lol: No, things are definitely A-Okay.

Duh.

I'm not sure about the rest of Canada, but in the Maritimes summer vacation (the logical end of a term as it's 2 months) and March break did (and still do) coincide with planting, harvest and other farmy things.

A few years ago someone tried to change March break in N.B. to a week later and there was such an uproar you would have thought they'd been asked to give up their first born. Nothing messes with the potato harvest, not even school.

[CrossboneGundam]

Lol what? Harvest? :huh:

Here in America we've got these things called "farms," and "seasons." Back in the old days, a lot of kids used to live on these "farms" and had to help their parents work on the "farms." American school years are scheduled based on that, even though it's more logical anyway to give kids the summer off.

I realize you can abuse your sheep year round in NZ, but we do things a bit differently here in the Northern Hemisphere. :P

[Mooserocka]

ive done nothing all year. got out the marines and i havent evern worked since

Pfft we have seasons and farms too, but our summer is more logically at the end of the year here in the Southern Hemisphere.

How is that logical? You're a bunch of penal colonists who forgot to flip the calendar around when you got kicked out of England. :P

[superplough]

...that's Australia. And flipping the calender would be even less logical.

[Suki]

Not bad actually. I only owe about 40k in college tuitions and I have a new car. xD

... Since the choice of January 1 as New Years was one of the more arbitrary and least logical decisions, then everything that comes from that is not logical... maybe?
Well, all I can say is that my years are marked by the school year no more... kind of. But to hear tell from grads, you still wake up in a cold sweat, wracked with terror for a couple of weeks in the beginning of December and April.

I'll tell you when I get my report card. It's supposed to come in the mail soon with my other stuff...

[{NG}Fidel]

Ill say Ive done plain terrible.
My Math teacher this year has a grading system in which on any/every paper one question wrong ='s F.
So I failed my First class ever due to her.
I also Failed English I took IB English HL which is the highest English in our school and I got over whelmed.
Other than that I got Cs.
My ADD along with other things makes it hard for me to do the brainless work of Highschool.

[Alice Catherine]

I'm pretty sure I passed Science. So I get to go to 9th grade...YAYS!

[Solid_Snake]

Lol what? Harvest? :huh:

Here in Hick Idaho, College(BYUI), Elementary, Jr High and High School all get let out for spud harvest. Best week ever. You even get paid to help out with it. Makes some nice poor college students a bit happy, though it's not much.

[Nano]

with my other stuff...
Your hardcore Yaoi I bet.

[Alice Catherine]

Your hardcore Yaoi I bet.

Nah. My class schedule, my certificates, my music for our band, talent show requirements, my honors things...just my stuff.

[Rain]

I received my final report card yesterday, and I registered for my first year university courses yesterday, as well, so it's a burden off of my shoulders. However, I still have provincial exams—end-of-the-year exams—but I plan to ace them, thus bringing my grades up.

Anyway...

English AP: 92%
Biology AP: 86%
Comparative Civilizations: 96%
Japanese 12: 97%
Geography 12: 98%
Math 12: I'm not even going to go there. :P

[Alice Catherine]

Well, I went outside to check for my report card...

NOTHING.

[Evil_Koala]

Lol u phail. I'd rofl if you failed Science and had 8th grade again after making threads about High School and ****.

[Suiko Eiji]

Spring Semester went not quite as I imagined it would ... I got in over my head on an English class (Technical Communications) and missed a few assignments, so I wound up with an A on the final and a D in the class. Computer Applications in Statistics was a bit harder than I expected because of them ****ing around with so many software packages but I ended up with a B. Network Security was just as hard as I expected but I ended up getting a Lab Assistant position (which got me exempted from the term paper) and I received a B.

After fighting with the English department (who told me to fight with the CSIS department because it their requirement, even though EngDep sets criteria, staffing, and admissions rules for the class) for trying to get into one of the summer sections, I just got frustrated and I'll delay retaking the class until my final semester, which means I'll have a lighter fall (No Cyberdefense Team for me :( ) and a very full final semester. Ick.

So far, so good for my Security Policy and Admin class this term, but I've got a few lecture reports to write over the weekend. I should also start researching for my IRP/DRP/BCP report that's due at the end of session next month.

Social life has gotten much better in the past few weeks; work life has gotten a little better since I've gotten a raise, but I'm still dealing with work I'd rather not be doing. I need a transfer but the position I want may not be until August.

[Alice Catherine]

Actually, on my last test she put on the test that my final grade was a 79, which is a letter grade and a half up from last quarter.

[neXus]

I'm a senior in college now. I have a 4.0 ^_^

[Old Ape Face]

All I can say is, my GPA just got shot in the heart, found out I failed Website Design class. Fortunately that's all I failed, unfortunately this means I have to retake this course again or my battle scars will never heal. I'm motivated to do the best that I can and hope I'll do better.

As for the other classes, I got a D in Physics. and a C in Art History. to put it simple, I'm not at all suprised. At the same time I feel like I could have done a lot better.

[Cow]

I did about 35-36 credits this year in college so I did well (3.3 gpa).

You're using a calendar developed in Europe before white people ever set foot in NZ. Explain to me how the Southern hemisphere's reverse seasons are "more logical" in a calendar created specifically for the opposite. :P

A 2005 Volkswagen Jetta for 14,500. I couldn't turn that down. I mean seriously, its usually 17,000.

To me it makes more sense for the big summer break to be at the end of the actual year rather than smack bang in the middle.

[Pariah]

^ while that may be true, no one in the northern hemisphere wants their long break to fall in winter when everywhere is freezing.

In that sense, its far more logical to have the SUMMER holiday in SUMMER.

Both hemispheres have adapted for this.

[superplough]

^You're absolutely right.

What I am curious about is how the people who invented the western calender decided when the year starts/ends. I assume these people lived in the northern hemisphere and for some reason decided to put summer in the middle of the year.

probably has something to do with the way the days start out getting longer if the year starts then.

*Sigh*
It was arbitrary. Wish that my posts were read.
It was the beginning of the year in the Roman and Julian calendars was January 1st (Janus, being a god of gateways and transition, being the the best choice for a start of a new year, as he was already associated with the month), and since it was close enough to the birth of Christ, it was kept with the Gregorian calendar, though some religions mark the resurrection of Jesus as the beginning of the Year.
But marking the new year with a birth instead of a death (even a resurrection) is much nicer.

Yes.

However, 1% of the school population actually wants to see their grades.
