grades for spring 2004 came out so i checked my grades today. NR for film studies?! (Original grade was NR which became F or NP after one quarter of attendance or at the end of the quarter immediately preceding award of the degree, whichever came first.) it said. my transcript didn't even show it as an attempted class. so i was getting all scared that i failed this class b/c i REALLY did not want to take it over again. i really felt like i was having one of zenia's panic attacks.

as i was about to email my TA about my grade, i found an email from the professor letting me know that they just hadn't sent in the grades yet but that i had passed. *PHEEEW* (wipes sweat off brow).

haha. it was kind of funny to see my grade turnout for this past qtr. in the classes that i concentrated and studied for the most, i did the worst. the class that i barely studied in, i got A-'s. but praise God for allowing me to pass the Film Studies courses and also giving me some very kind grades. but i'm even more glad that i learned so much from these courses. all glory to Him.

retrospect:

sophomore year was a big year of growth for me. i know that i said that i probably grew and learned the most in my freshmen year, but this year was a different kind of growth. apt. life was totally not what i expected it to be. school actually became enjoyable (to a certain degree). i became closer to people who i never would have imagined. God reevealed to me even more of my sinful nature and even more of His holy character. i feel like many of my thoughts and beliefs were sharpened and tuned during my soph. year.
