I Finally Got an A!!

This post has nothing to do with diabetes, I'm just so happy that I needed to blog it (so in other words, this is a non-diabetes post and if you're on my blog to read about diabetes, just skip over this one!).

For the past couple years, I've been taking classes at the local community college. Two summer ago, I took an art class at ARC in Natomas with I completely loved. I love to draw and do crafty artsy projects, and everyday the teacher basically just told us to grab a couple objects and start drawing them with pencil and study their shadows, etc. Needless to say, I had a fun time in there and it was not difficult to get an A (not trying to brag... just saying that I LOVEEED the class so much that there was no problem in the amount of time I invested into the class).

This past summer, I decided to take chemistry at Sac City. Let's just say, it was not as fun as art. Basically, this was my summer 2017:

Wake up at 8. Eat and relax at home from 9-10. Drive to school. Arrive around 10:15. Study for quiz from 10:15-10:45 something. Go to class from 10:45-12:45. Eat lunch. Study at school from 1:30-3:30. Go to lab from 3:30-5:30. Go home. Relax. Study from 6:30-8:30.

That was my daily routine Monday-Thursday for six out of eight weeks of my summer. But I did like having something to do! Anyway, I struggled pretty hard in that class, but eventually I somehow got an A. I don't know how... it was all just a stressful blur.

Now fast forward to fall 2017. I talked with my counselor and she said I could take a college class and have free sixth. Of course I jumped at that opportunity! I signed up for an environmental science/biology class at FLC. The class sounded interesting and the professor had good reviews.

Well, being the person I am (NOT GOOD AT SCIENCE), I have been truly struggling. It doesn't help that basically our entire grade is based upon our 4 tests.

Anyway, the first two tests I got B's on and I was discouraged. I studied for hours for both of them! Then we just had our third test last Thursday and I got...

YES!! I finally got an A!!! I was basically jumping up and down all night, full of happiness! I don't know what the end result of this class will be, but I am just so happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy some awesome pictures from my class:

Before class. What it looks like in my FUN science class!

Here is a cool picture of my forehead and the ceiling of my classroom :p
