currently can’t get my textbooks because of an issue w financial aid that will hopefully be resolved in the morning. super nervous bc new school and lots of work ahead but also excited for my new major/program and hopefully making more friends :)
idk if anyone else does this but music is distracting for me when i do homework but i still need noise so i usually try to watch a show or movie thats somewhat related to the topic im studying at the moment. that way even when i take a little break i still feel like im engaged and keeping my mind on track. ex: when i took my forensics class i would keep csi vegas on in the background.
im having trouble finding anything that has to do with anthropology/archaeology thats actually interesting for this purpose. (the things that show up on netflix is stuff like ancient apocalypse which im not a fan of) what i have on currently is outer banks lol does anyone have recommendations?
midterms tomorrow!
i have 2/3 midterms tomorrow but heres how im feeling about them all in general
- Bio Anthropology: been going crazy studying for this one since this midterm will include the most information (covers 4 chapters + videos we’ve had to watch for homework). feeling pretty good for the most part but a little iffy on cell structure stuff.
- Cultural Anthropology: little confused on what this one will actually cover. we havent had any assignments and havent read any of the book and no study guide was provided so im quite scared tbh lmao
- Archaeology: this only covers 2 chapters and has been my favorite class this semester so far so im fairly confident but again no study guide so not sure exactly what to expect
kinda worried i wont get enough sleep tonight bc i accidentally took a 4 hour long mid afternoon nap but fingers crossed all goes well in the morning lol
will update after the exams + when i get the grades back
photos from today :)
- studying & eating lunch while watching bones before bio anthro midterm
- spent the afternoon in the archaeology lab washing artifacts from the unis summer field school
now waiting for dance rehearsal to start and wishing i didnt forget my vape at home 😭
anyway! feel like I did pretty good on my bio midterm but we wont get the grades back probably until next week.
i got an 84% on my cultural anthropology midterm. was hoping for better but some of the wording in the questions was hard for me to process, i also hate online exams so happy with the result.
archaeology midterm is next monday then i think thats the last of the exam anxiety until finals
updates !! finally !!
got the last of my grades back for the fall semester :)) very happy w them and my gpa (3.425)
enjoyed my classes a lot this term (with the exception of ethnomusicology due to the professor).
did better in dinosaurs than i expected tbh but it was a super fun class even if some of the work was hard.
overall a good first semester at my new school, made some friends, joined some clubs, and love my program so far :)
