Almost Done

It's close to the end for this semester of college and I can not wait until it's done. There is a lot of things I want to do this summer, but that will be material for a different blog. For this blog I am going to go over what I thought about this semester and what I hope for next semester. Overall this semester was not as good as last semester. I can't really explain why I didn't like this semester as much as last semester. Especially considering that last semester wasn't fun really either. I guess last semester had less work then this semester had. Well not necessarily less work overall but last semester did have a lot less weekly work and they work I did have was more along the line of a few big projects that you get the semester to work on. This is more of the style of learning that I did throughout high school. For my four years of high school I went to a charter school in Tustin. The charter school is basically a hybrid combination of homeschooling, independent study, and classes at the actual school. Much like the way college works, I went to school about two to three times a week, classes were two hours long, and the rest of the work was done at home. This prepared me better for college and arranging my time to get my work done. I did this very well in my first semester but for some reason I just wasn't able to do it this semester. That's why I think this semester was not as good as last semester because with so much assignments due weekly it made me have to adjust how I have been working for the last couple of years. Hopefully next semester I will be able to get back into the groove, get all my work done, and enjoy all my classes.

As for my classes I took this semester they were not as good as I hoped they would be. The biggest disappointment was the Native American history class I took. It was just to boring. The teacher took three hours to explain one insignificant point and then a few minutes to explain an interesting point. The thing that was really annoying about the class was that you never knew what was going on until you went to class. He gives a syllabus but it does not break down weekly what we are going to be doing. I like to know what I am going to be learning about ahead of time. Anyways the class was just a disappointment because I really was hoping I would love the class. The other class I didn't like was my math class. Of course almost everyone doesn't like math. What I didn't like is that everything, the book, quizzes, and homework were all online so I have no idea why I even had to go into class because it basically was an online class. The rest of my classes were not too bad. Oh well hopefully next semester will be better.
