 Posted: 10/23/03 - 01:29 Post subject: Found out 2 of my midterm grades today...
and they were not too good (If losing my wallet wasn't enough!): biochem: 58% (blew that one big time-Ouch!), cell physiology: 76% (sadly my highest midterm mark so far compared to last year's which was in the 90s) This year has been the hardest for me so far and looks like it's getting worse.. I'm starting to worry bout my gpa this year too...

I am right there with you. Try to keep the faith and keep plugging away. I think that is half the battle, many people just give up.

All you can do is go over what you've missed, and then work harder. I know you're already working very hard... you're taking super tough courses, I cannot imagine the workload. Like Blue said, you still have time to turn it around. Don't get discouraged. You can do this.

Tim, treat it like a bad run. Dust yourself off, chalk it up for the experience, and push ahead.

Big fat  to this. The worst thing you can do now, is worry about yesterday. Go forward and do your best from this point on. And, remember, it is all about learning. You are taking some very intense classes--don't be too hard on yourself!!

Thanks for all the encouragement and comfort guys! Yeah, I think part of the reason why i'm not doing so great this year is b/c of the courseload (6 courses this term). Hopefully I can make up for it on the later midterms and finals...

It's pretty much 6 courses per term this year unfortunately. I have to take 6 per term and maintain 75% average for program requirements. That's why I'm abit stressed out over my grades. And this term's supposed to be the easier of the 2.  Hopefully my senior year will be a breeze compared to this..
