One bullet dodged

They still haven't posted official grades yet by my Calculus 3 teacher said he already knows I got at least a D. All I need is a D- to not have to retake it. *WHEW!* My GPA is definitely going to drop this semester but I'll just have to make sure I bring it back up in the future.

I also may be looking at a slight shift in majors:

It's not approved yet but they're hoping to have it available in the fall. I'll still be here and everything I'm taking next semester applies to both majors anyway. And it's STILL a Computer Science degree. And it means no foreign language requirement (Yay! No Spanish 3 after all!), less math required (I'd be done with math after Linear Algebra next semester instead of still needing Probability), and a few other classes I need now won't be required anymore, and they'd be replaced by a bunch of game classes (several of which I've already taken for my minor). I think this could work out really well!

I suspect I'll probably go for the masters too when I'm done (assuming I can afford it at that point):

Oh, WOW!

The final exam for my Computer Science class just got posted, and apparently I figured out enough of how his mind/grading works on the midterm, since I did incredibly well! I got 93 out of 100, and the class average is apparently 68.49 (yeah, I know that might make me kinda a curve breaker;)). I couldn't believe it when I saw the grade! This is the same class where I had perfect scores on the first couple of programming assignments and a 52 out of 100 on the midterm (below the class average of 64.2). Hopefully this will make him take me a little more seriously when I have him next semester and in other classes.:)

UPDATE: Now the final grade has been posted. I got an A-! That makes 2 A-'s, one at least D, and another (unknown but I'm guessing probably B-range). Hopefully Calculus won't drop the GPA TOO much. They are starting up a new Computer Science Honor Society next semester and it would be nice if I still qualified.:)

Another update: According to the teacher the average on this one was 79, which is higher than the online Blackboard system said. 8 people got >90 and one person actually got 100. But this is still pretty damn good:).
