Looking through all these grades, I'll say this: I can HARDLY wait for you folks to hit college (especially if you are going into meteorology or engineering). You'll be all suave going into the exam room, thinking about Friday night and hooking up with a few beers and ladies, and then Monday BOOM, you get a D on the Calc II Midterm. Worth 20% of the grade. And then you go home crying to the elders.

I'll say this: I wish I could get the grades I did in High School again. You'll realize after about 2 years of higher education that high school teachers were SERIOUSLY doorknobs when it came to teaching his/her subjects.

BTW to stick with the subject, I'll give my grades for the past year or so:

Sorted by grade:

A:
-Meteorology Internship

A-
-Intro to Cultural Geography
-Understanding Climate Change
-Economic Geography
-Natural Hazards
-Intro to Landforms
-Landscape Ecology
-Thinking Geographically

B+
-Geography and Statistics

B-

-Biogeography

The B- actually made me miss the Dean's List for the spring semester; made it the fall. (And the spring semester was 5 classes straight, 2 days a week, 3 classes 1 day a week, and 1 class 1 day a week. Although it sounds like a typical high school day, remember this: No breaks, no lunch, and the stuff's 100x harder to learn. And then you take it home for the next day with 5 hours of HW.)

I imagine this year is going to be a rude awakening! Great job on your classes!

Those are all fun classes you're taking Steve. I'd be interested in taking all of 'em in college. What year in college do you have to be to take those courses? Don't you have to take Calculus , Linear Algebra and other math classes?

I know that to be a meteorologist you need great math skills, but do OCM's really do alot of math?

[P71nnacle]

Yea, it's kind of messy right now. I bailed out of Meteorology last year around this time after finding out I couldn't do the math. But there are lots of people who can do it, just not me  Usually, the mathematical part's in the classes - most operational and TV meteorologists tend to NOT use it (at least in my experience). TBH, there's not a lot of jobs in the field, regardless....and OCM's make no more than $25k out of school and usually don't make big bucks for the workload.

I just hope everyone's as good in college as they are in high school - usually the first year of college separates the wheat from the chaff. You will have to work harder in college, because the material is harder and you're expected to know the material better with little or no help from the actual instructor. It's not all parties, dorm lounging, and everything. I've been in college six years - my social life is terrible.
