For some reason I've been having a very difficult time not being severely worried about this finals week at Baylor. I should be fine with passing all of my classes but I just still feel very worried. My GPA could be anywhere from 2.8 to 3.45 depending on how my finals go. One of my classes the final is worth 50% and for another it is worth 25% of the grade. I had to take pressure finals at Master's too but for some reason my O-Chem finals at River Falls and the finals I'm taking here at Baylor have me more worried. I guess I feel like since the class sizes are bigger and I'm more anonymous the professor's won't be nearly as willing to curve class scores. Here I feel like, no matter how hard the test, there will always be a good 10% or so that still ace it. This is great for those students but, for pre-med requirement class at least, I tend to be between the class average and those genius people. And this semester has really been a "get your feet wet" semester for me. I'm not complaining but it did take a little bit of shifting to get used to everything here. Even now I don't feel totally in the mix yet. I'm greatly anticipating the fall Lordwilling because then I can plan everything out, bring more stuff, maybe a longboard/skateboard, and just be ready. However, the Lord worked this whole thing out awesomely and no complaints. All just to say that this semester has been a challenge but the future, for the fall semester, looks bright. The summer looks bright as well! I'm so excited to have a break from school for a while. Really I haven't had more than a month or so block off since Summer 2007, about two years, because I took OChem summer classes last year. Maybe for most people that wouldn't be tough but I like to be out and about meeting and working with people so for me it is. Anyway, I'm definitely doing my best. Only finals to go!!! May the Lord's strength despite my weakness show in this finals week!!!
For His glory, Josh
