New Semester

So, the new semester started this week and is already well under way and I have not even been to all of my classes yet. I have finished all of my GE classes and all of my lower division major requirements and now have nothing left but upper division and I have to say, it's kind of overwhelming. The classes are hard, half of the students in all of my classes so far are grad students, and I just found out how well I need to do in the classes to continue with my education. I met with a counselor in the history department on Monday (ironically she is also one of my teachers this semester) and I am meeting with a credential advisor next Friday. I was told by the history department counselor that I need to get a C in all of my classes from now on (since they are all upper division) in order to graduate, which is no big deal. But I also found out that in order to get into the credential program I need to get straight B's (not just a 3.0) and I need to get a 3.5 in order to get into the graduate program. I was going to take 6 classes this semester so I can graduate in December, but I do not think that I can get a 3.5 GPA while taking 6 classes. So I dropped to 4, and am graduating in May of '08 instead. Not only is this going to be the hardest semester so far, but it is also the most expensive. I have the same teacher for 2 classes and between the 2, he has assigned 26 books. So, this is going to be an interesting 15 weeks. More to come.....
