The final grades of my first college semester is just available on my school information system. I got an A- in Art Appreciation, a B in Science of Life, a B in General Chemistry and an A in Applied Calculus. My GPA for the whole semester is 3.40. The timing is so cruel ( right at New Year Eve. I guess I could have decided not to look at the grades though. This semester has caught me by surprise. I did not expect the General Chemistry course to be this hard. There is a ten minutes quiz every single lecture on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I did not do very well on the 4 exams of the courses and the quizzes. The final exam, which was written by the ACS, was the only thing that raised my grade for that course to a B. I will have to do it better next semester if I am still hoping to apply for Pharmacy school.
Anyways, Happy New Year TL!

For a biochem major and pre-pharmacy, chemistry grade is pretty crucial though

I have done quite a lot this semester :p. Got into the International Student Association as an executive officer, I was able to organize many events for both international and American students. It was fun.
