Well, this semester is finally over. I really didn’t enjoy this semester as much as I have previous semesters. All of my classes were for my Software Engineering major, and that meant that it was basically all reading and writing stuff. We didn’t even do design, it was basically just how to manage a team of programmer’s to make software.

I did take Geology, however, and it was really pretty cool. I needed another lab science to complete my degree, and so I decided to take Geology thinking it would be a blow-off class. It was pretty easy, but I actually studied for it harder than a few of my other classes. I really enjoyed learning about the Earth and how incredibly complex it is. There is just so much to know about everything that surrounds us, it’s simply awe-inspiring. It’s also pretty cool at parties and stuff to be able to identify rocks used in decorations and those that you find on the ground while camping. Definitely picks up the ladies.

My grades came out pretty good GPA-wise, but it’s really lame to get 4 A-s. I mean, COME ON! It doesn’t really affect my GPA much, but an A- is just an itch that you’ve got to scratch but you can’t. Oh well, I’ve still got a 3.838. I figured that it’s mathematically impossible for me to get Summa Cum Laude (which is 3.89) with the number of classes left, and it should be really easy to get Magna Cum Laude (which is 3.69), so no big deal.

Only 18 hours left until I graduate with a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Computer Science and Software Engineering!
