Environmental Philo result.....

Got my result from Summer Semester's course on Environmental Philosophy:

A '6' (equivalent to a Distinction)

which is great for keeping my grade point average at 6 overall, but really it should have been a 7...

once again my procrastination monster took over.

actually this time was the worst EVER, as I actually didn't even CARE about it (at the time)

of course, I do NOW hahaha.

Both essays were late (one was even late after an extension. NEVER done that before)
Also the criteria on Reading Responses was changed as a result of the chaos after the Brisbane floods, and I ended up doing only 3 of the 4 required (frankly because i couldn't be arsed travelling 6 hours to the last lecture)

so yeah.

Not very pleased with myself...

Anyhoo,
Next semester begins on Monday.

I have books on order for Communication and Rhetoric (and have already purchased a 2nd hand copy of Machiaevelli's The Prince.)
Medical Anthropology text book arrived this morning, and as essay questions were provided in the course profile (LOVE when that happens - more thinking time!) I have already begun research for that.
Started reading intro notes for Political Philosophy too.

Semester plan done and prominently displayed, work schedule adjusted to suit impending deadlines, etc etc

So yeah - now I just have to pull my finger out and DO THE WORK.

cause for pre-emptive celebration

unofficial grade for Crime & Punishment course is a 7!!! whooo hooo!

(official grades released Thursday)

of course, in reality the greatest use this will actually be is to drag my GPA back up out of the gutter where it will be lying after my disastrous Logic debacle. ;)

in other news:

i have enrolled in 3 courses for semester 1 2011:

Communication and Rhetoric (part of my Logic & Philosophy of Science Minor)

Political Philosophy (part of my Philo extended major)

Medical Anthropology (an elective - on cultural attitudes to illness, treatment and death, so I felt it fitted well with my interests/plans. It's a totally new course, never offered before, so fingers crossed enough people sign up for it, there needs to be at least twenty for it to run)

Will update results (officially!) on Thursday :)
Thanks to everyone who has dropped by, and much appreciation for your supportive comments :)
