STRATEGIES
I took Genetics with three other really hard courses and that was a stupid thing for me to do. When someone talked to me about just taking 3 courses, I said no I can take on a fourth. Well we all know what happened; I got a D in Genetics. I had to learn for myself. Yes, my grades brought my GPA (grade point average) down and I had to repeat two courses. I learned from that mistake and I fixed it. The plan this semester was to take just three courses, but I picked up a forth because I knew I could do it. The three courses were really easy for me. I knew I could drop one class if it was a big problem. I am getting through the semester with As and Bs. It is a lot of work and with three courses, it would be less work but I am getting good grades. Next year when I take Organic Chemistry which will be extremely hard for me, then I will take just three courses. I will lighten my load. I have learned how to make the best schedule for me.
