I'm trying so hard to get straight A's and it is so hard!! Like as of right now In my first semester of college I have 2 B's and 3 A's but it's not enough.
Just last week in my Organic Chem class, I failed my first quiz with a D+, but ever since then I have been studying so much in that class and it did pay off for me because I got a whooping 100% on my second quiz (Which put me at a B). But it's still not enough. I'm really good at English but I got a B- on my first paper and I just don't see myself getting good grades this semester. I also have an essay due weekly and I keep getting 90/100 on all of them, an then in my Anthropology class I can't seem to get a 100% on all of writing assignments either...
But I admit I spend hours a day on Netflix and it may be compromising my grades but if I don't have Netflix in my life it would just be all about school and nothing else. I mean if I can't have a social life then at least I have Netflix.
So how did you all get good grades and keep them?
Lol... No the deers didn't get me, I just take the bus. And what do you mean my story doesn't add up? What reasons do I have to lie??
Well, reason #1 would be, this is the internet. Anyone can do anything if they find it amuses them.
Also, your story doesn't add up -- I got suspicious at the "ochem before gen chem" idea. It just doesn't seem reasonable that they wouldn't have a pre-req like that and it just *happens* to not be enforced.
And the "deers." That whole thing makes me wonder if this is performance art or something.
The deer situation was an actual fear and I'm taking Orgo so I can apply to the nursing program in December.It is not as hard as I thought it would be either.
Just stay on top of it. Orgo can get really tough because carbon is a whore. Seriously, as soon as something doesn't make sense, get is clarified.
Don't put too much pressure on yourself to get all As, make sure you understand the material. That's more important that the grade.
Ok. I looked it up and As I suspected the course required by Lewis is not in fact Organic Chemistry is it a survey class called "Introductory Organic and Biochemistry" which only requires HS chem as a pre req - hence why you were able to enroll. It is not the same thing as organic chemistry, I assure you.

I'm thinking that may be half the problem.
