i. genpsyc: 4.0
i expected this. while i didn't exactly do my best in terms of output, i attended every class save two and submitted all requirements on time. yes, my papers were still bullshit, but i did allow myself actual points peeking through edgewise. but the grade aside, genpsyc is the best subject i've attended so far, thanks largely to the prof, sir marshall valencia [no relation to dexter donald]. so for those with genpsyc in their flowcharts, this bud's for you.
moral lesson: if you enjoy a subject, you'll do better in it. and it is possible to force yourself to like a subject. if you're acting's good enough, you can fool your brain into thinking you actually do like it.
ii. introse: 1.5
this i did not expect. all the while, i thought our paperwork was satisfactory [meaning i'd get a 3.0 or above].
moral lesson: if the prof requests for a series of papers dependent on each other and doesn't return the first, ask him or her for frequent pointers. also, try to attend classes at least as many times as you cut them.
iii. introso: 3.0
not bad, considering that i barely passed my quizzes, our report was crap, and we bullshat our final paper at the last minute. no complaints here.
moral lesson: few things are more valuable than the ability to think and write on your feet.
iv. comorga: 2.5
this is probably my crowning glory this term. my scores in the first two quizzes were 63 and 37. seeing as comorga is a 70% passing subject with a 50% fail rate, by midterms i was thoroughly panicking. so i actually started studying [something i don't endorse, except in the direst circumstances]. my third quiz turned out to be a 93-pointer and finals earned me 126 points. ayos.
moral lesson: you really can do anything if you're determined enough. i just wish i applied this principle last term, then i would've saved myself a shitload of trouble*.
v. webdeve: 2.5
a little lower than i would have wanted but still good. but given my class standing, this means i really did badly in the finals. maybe i should've studied for that test as well. i seem to be in the habit of only safeguarding against one notorious subject per term.
moral lesson: never shotgun an exam. ever.
vi. elemfre: 4.0
monsieur narvaez est très aimable. aussi, j'étudié le français dans mon lycée ainsi il était facile obtenir de bons points.
leçon morale: cherchez un professeur aimable.
vii. orient2: f
this was extremely disappointing. i admit that i had ulterior motives when i picked which section to attend, but the turn of events has confirmed my better instincts.
moral lesson: "hope is the first step on the road to disappointment."
as of this term, i have gotten every course card grade possible, from f to 4.0. although that isn't exactly something to brag about, it sure sounds better than "i got an f and a 1.5".

a shitload of trouble: if i had passed anmath2, then i would've been given a slot at accenture, a slot which i would've had a 75% chance of securing, given my acting skills. also, i wouldn't have used up my scholarship's allotted failure, and the sfa wouldn't have recorded my failure in orient either, since it would have been 0.5 units, instead of the 3.5 units it is now.
