Going out with a cough

Sorry for the lack of posts! I'm finally done with all exams and I've been resting this week, nursing myself back to health. I've actually been feeling a lot better but then my throat has been getting sore again.

And now I will begin my rant on plus/minus grading system. I knew going into it that this could hurt or help me depending on what type of classes I'm taking. Of course for people who usually make 90's and above, this was going to be a pain in the butt to start getting 94's. The main problem I see with implementing this system is how each teacher was using it differently. It doesn't seem fair that one class disregards A- while another class implements it in the same course implements it. I also wish they would've just started this system with the incoming freshmen instead of making us change during our time here. Overall, this system will have hurt my GPA and has created more stress in hoping that my teachers round to the nearest whole number to get that A.

In other news, I got a BCS Championship ticket to Pasadena!! I'm not sure if I'm going yet though because the plane tickets are getting pricey. My friends and I need to make a decision pretty quick!

Other than that, I don't have any other significant winter break plans. I'll be in Dallas most of the time with my family! I hope all of you guys have a great break and HOOK EM HORNS!
