Didn't do too bad this semester...was taking 18 credits until the week before finals when I withdrew from one b/c it was a worthless class that I didn't need for my major and I didn't want it influencing my grade.

Ended w/ a 3.02 - contesting a grade though, think the math on it was a little screwy.

I had my art history final on Thursday. Professor sucks and I didn't pay attention or study as much as I should have so I didn't do so well on that one.

Handed in my final paper for english Tuesday. Probably aced that.

Only things left are 3 critiques; one on Monday, two on Tuesday. After that I go home for the summer.

Technically I'm too. But they aren't even.
We have Fall and Spring semester, as well as (optional) summer I and summer II, 5 weeks each summer semester.

I took it easy for my last semester, only 9 credits, 6 of which were towards the degree. Still maintained my 4.0 GPA though. This was just for my AAS degree, coursework for my BS will start in June with the 6 credits required for history. World History Before 1650 and World History After 1650.

What the heck does A+ mean? You're better than perfect?

Doesn't it mean something along the lines of 96th-99th percentile at some universities?

Yea, I know. Shouldn't do too bad though unless I majorly screw up on the finals. Haven't received less than an A- on any grade this quarter :D

Project Grades:
CS&E 200 - A/A-
English 367 - A

I have no clue what my grades are, but I'm spending the semester in Sweden so I don't really care all that much. No matter what happens it was worth it, unless I manage to die or cause a war or something. Study abroad. Do it!

numerical grade of 97-99 or whatever the equivalent is.

sadly, an A+ does *absolutely nothing* for my GPA.

A = A+ = 4.0
A- = 3.75
B+ = 3.25
B = 3.0
B- = 2.75...

i wasn't aiming for an A+, that's just what i got. i'm pissed that the plus/minus system shafts those who do the best :|

Well first off any university that lets you have over a 4.0 or gives out A+ grades either is a pitiful college or is in love with grade inflation.

That said, I graduated wit a 3.02 GPA this year which was nice because I haven't had above a 3.0 GPA since first semester freshmen year, so at least now my GPA starts with a 3.
