My GPA.....

My GPA ended up being still low after this summer. 

I actually worked hard and did raise my GPA a little bit over the summer.. but my GPA still didn’t get higher enough to become a truly competitive applicant, for Berkeley.

i don’t want to say anymore about what i should/could have done last Fall/ Spring semester… Especially the first year/ last FALL semester, i only had three classes and didn’t even get all As. I made many mistakes and took one class I wasn’t capable of.

Realistically speaking, i barely have a chance for Berkeley right now. I would say below 20% but…. there’s always a little chance that i’d never know what would happen if i try applying.  Since i can’t apply to tag for Davis, I’m going to tag UCSB. I will need at least 3.2 by the end of the fall term to be approved, then i’ll be only automatically accepted to SB.

The most i can do right now is just get As in all SIX of my classes this semester. I can only get ONE B and ALL As to maintain the GPA for Berkeley, Davis and TAG for SB. 

The worst can happen is not being accepted to Berkeley.. if i really don’t want to go to a CSU then i might have to stay at the CC for a third year. As much as I really really don’t want to stay for an extra year, that’s the WOrst option/choice could happen to me. Plus, my major is not even that difficult. If I stay, then i might as well change to a harder major like economics or international relations.

i know it’s nearly impossible to get accepted with my current GPA, a 3.0. but there is no harm applying it, and i’ll be trying hard to raise that GPA by the end of this fall when the they will review my updated GPA.

Right now I just feel like i can do anything to get to where I want to be. i’m taking 6 classes this fall, including an one unit class. Y’all might think that it’s dumb to take so many classes at once and expect to get all As. But i”m pretty determined to do that. I’m aiming for all As. i can’t guarantee to get the A in Economy though. I’m definitely going to be spending most of time in that class and putting in a significant amount of time start whipping out all A’s. studying my butt off, for sure

It's teaway LOVE!!!!

Giving a speech on education

actually, i feel like giving Obama’s speech on education, and having a little bit of my background in the introduction was really fun today ! I never thought that I would speak like that to a class and have such an inspiring tone/voice lol :P. 

but, never sleep for only an hour again… this morning, I have to admit, my brain wasn’t functioning well like it’s supposed to be.. although i had so much Coffee, there was time when I wanted to just lay down, and I felt so sickly dizzy and like I was about to pass out on my desk during english>_<  And before I was walking to my speech class, my hands were shaking so bad when I was just printing papers out at the library. I couldn’t concentrate. then I went to get a bottle of vitamin water and a little bit of cereal bar before my class, i thought that would help me feel a little bit better  !!

man, i could have done a better job speaking though .. I messed up some words pronunciation because of nervousness  i usually get lol. and didn’t rehears the speech multiple times like I was supposed to :/ it would have sounded like a perfect speech if I didn’t repeat the words I messed up.

but I was happy when people said how they liked it :D !!!

And gladly, English teacher allowed us to turn in journals on Monday instead of today !! because I haven’t finished the reading..yet.. now I have some time to do that over the weekend!

Obama's inspirational speech

is Obama’s inspirational speeches on education a literature??

Someone, anyone, please if have a knowledge and pretty sure about the answer,

should let me know..
i’ve been trying to figure out if it’s literature or not.

it’s sort of tough to think if it is or not right now..:/

Because some people I asked said they’re not even sure,

and some people said it can be and it can’t..

One of the example of his speech:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ryEE8U9EKU&feature=related

By definition and in general, a literature is written… like Shakespeare’s poetries.

And lyrics..screenplays… Journals and biographies..etc.

In like oral interpretation or performance of literature that could express thoughts, emotions, ideas and purpose of the author!

Can a speech like that delivered by Obama consider a literature …??

Those sort of speech on education aren’t really written…although he did publish a few of his written books, memoirs and autobiographies.

but i’m looking for his speeches, specifically, like that on education…..

i would ask my teacher, but I have to wait until Monday. .

i'm dreading.....

I don’t know when I will go log on my school cubby and check this grade. I have a feeling that I don’t get the grade that I was expecting, and it will lower my GPA. When my friend said the grade is in our cubby, I was scared to go check, because I know if it’s not the grade that I expected, it will ruin my day. Not just a day though.. I would become really depressed and all go down hill for me.  I would realize, then, my GPA would be that low, how would I apply to my top choice of the college with that GPA. I would feel like giving up even though I know that I shouldn’t and i won’t.

Knowing that, although I have a chance and room in my class schedule to retake the same 3 unit class and get an A with the same teacher next semester, it would be adding one more class to 6 classes/16 units. That would be so much..? I feel like if I really have to, I will do it, and then get all the As I need.

I really don’t know what grade I have in this class. I just know that, right now i can’t  accept myself seeing the lower grade than I was expecting to get. He never responded to my last email, which I wrote about my grade is 2% away from the next grade I really need.. I didn’t only write that, yes I need that 2% of the grade I couldn’t earn, but I also wrote paragraphs of other things to express all my desires for the better. A whole bunch of good reasons for him to agree with me and consider the 2%.  Wishing that he will kindly help me to raise my GPA.  I hate that, it’s all because of the tardiness that didn’t award me extra points. It’s all those small things that can make a big difference. In this case, it’s all the small imperfections.

It makes me so upset about this class. I don’t understand, that it has to be so strict about the tardiness, even though I attended all the lectures and never missed anything. It shouldn’t matter THAT MUCH …  Right now, I just don’t have the courage to see what grade I have. He never emailed me back, so I really have no clue what he put in my grades report. He might enter the grade that I need, he might enter the grade that i don’t want to see…..The grade is just right there, I don’t know how I’m waiting longer will help this situation.. I just don’t really want to face it right now until I really have to . Eventually I’ll have to see the grade…
