My Third Semester

My Third Semester

As for my third semester, it has its ups and downs like always.  I also have this feeling of going to fail at least one class eventually, which bothers me a lot.  I actually went to some tutoring sessions before, but it didn’t work out for me unfortunately.  I always have that one class I have trouble on every semester, like Biology class for example.  Despite the fact Biology is an interesting class for me; I have a hard time understanding the subject because it has a little hint of Chemistry involved and the way how living organisms work is very complex for me to understand.  However, I somehow managed to pass one test…barely with a C average.  Another thing in college I have trouble with is how to turn in your work.  This semester is very different compared to my first year in college because this is the first time I’ve ever use D2L (Desire2Learn) to turn in work.  Majority of my classes are pretty much online-based, which is quite difficult for me.  A few reasons why is because I sometimes procrastinate, which of I am guilty of.  I thought online class would be easier than being in class itself; but I was dead wrong.  In online-classes, you have to be dedicated and motivated enough to do work early.  If I goof off for at least a few days, the deadline for me is right around the corner, even a few hours!  Another reason why online-based classes are difficult for me is that I have no idea how to use it.  I tried asking for help, but I still don’t understand where to turn in my work.  So instead, I turn in my homework and all my essays to my teachers through their e-mails.  However, my grades didn’t go through and I ended up getting a zero, even though I worked so hard on it.  But it’s no excuse, if I fail, it’s my fault for not knowing how to use Desire2Learn, and I know well that my teachers won’t accept some trivial excuse.
