Well, I am finally done with SWIC. I am debating if I should take Linear Algebra over the summer, if I do I will have a minor in math. But I think I will just take the summer off and prepare for the next 2 years at a real college.

Finals: For the most part they went ok.

I did terrible on my Biology final, but any grade in the 87-22 range was useless. Anything in that range is a “C” for me. I had a 78.5 going in so it would have taken an 87 to bring it up just 1 percent and that was not going to happen.

My next final was in Mid East History. It was 50 fill in the blank with a word bank. about 75% from entire semester and the rest was stuff since last test. When figuring what I needed for an “A” I assumed an 89.5 would round up. But when talking to a friend of mine he won’t be rounding up. With rounding I needed an 87 to keep my “A” and I got an 88, so I will be pissed if he doesn’t round up and I miss out on an “A” by just a couple points.

Right after this I had my Differential Equations test. Which was the one I actually cared about since Math is gonna be my major. I think I nailed it, but am not sure. It was just 10 questions. In this class I have no idea what I will get. We took 5 tests plus the final, but one test can be dropped so everything is worth 20% of my grade. But the problem lies in that I have no seen what I got on the last 2 tests plus final. My grade through the first 3 tests was a 78, which sucks ass. I am pretty sure I have atleast a “B” but if a miracle occured somehow an “A” could be possible.

My last final was in Speech. Man did I bomb that thing. It was 30 fill in the blank (25 graded, 5 extra). The good thing was that he only counts letter grades so it didn’t matter how bad you did, which is lucky for me. I wound up getting a “B” which is good enough for me.

For the most part I enjoyed my time at SWIC. I got off to a rough start my first semester, but I adjusted from my no studying days of high school. I learned very quickly that I can’t pull that off in college anymore.

More bands have been announced:

Featuring The Urge, Story of the Year, Breaking Benjamin, Sugarcult, Auf Der Maur, The Von Bondies, Papa Roach, Crossfade, Apartment 26, moderndayzero, LIT, Flaw, Thornley, The Adored, Shaman’s Harvest, plus 5 more to be announced.

I was surprised they actually announced more bands. Every year they say they will announce more, but never do. Wouldn’t mind seein Papa Roach and Flaw, so good stuff.

Well we lost to the minor league rejects, eventhought they only had 9 guys. Their centerfielder is amazing. His range more than made up for them being down a man. I don’t know how he got to some of them balls. They are one of the best teams in the league and we lost 15-11, or something like that. I had a terrible game, went 1-4 with 1 run scored. I actually played in the field for the entire game, right field. there was only one ball hit my way that I could have caught and that was a low liner and just knicked my glove and I couldn’t hold on to it, I was pissed. The main reason why I couldnt hit was my hand. I was doing yard work all weekend and got a blister on the inside of my thumb and then it split open and peeled off a layer of skin. So, gripping the bat was almost impossible.

I also finished up regular classes this week on Wednesday. Finals started Thursday, but my first one ins’t until Monday. So, I have a nice little break. This semester wasn’t one of my best, but if I do well on my finals I can pull out acceptable grades. This means I will finally graduate from SWIC. I will be going to SIUE for a math degree. Well, atleast that’s the plan.

Well, got to go. I am going to see Troy. I will post what I thought about it later.

WE WON!!!!!!!!

We won 15-10. It was a good game. I went 3-4 again. With 3 runs scored. I finally played in the field. I went in for the last two innings in right-center.

Tonight was the first game of our softball season. And we lost, 30-20. We were playing last years winners. We started out terrible and were down about 16-0 after the second or third inning. We then got some runs back. Then in the final inning we went nuts. Had bases loaded twice and were able to get a hit.

I was the 11th hitter. Went 3-4 with a couple RBI and a run scored. I was up in the 7th with bases loaded and two outs and was able to shoot a line drive back up the middle to drive two runs in.

If we can keep on hitting like we did that final inning we should have a pretty good season. 20 runs will win most of the games.
