Unless you are like me and are doing Maths, this will be your last week in the STEPS program. Today I have my Exit interview with Julie. I am still apprehensive about the program I have chosen to go forward with. Being realistic, is it because I am scared to move forward or are there real conflicts here?
I have chosen a dual degree in Business/Communication. It will take 4 years to complete if I do it full time. My heart is still in Media Studies and the reason I didn't select this was fear that I will not be employed in that field here in Rockhampton. I can always do my Graphic Design Diploma through TAFE while I complete my Business Studys so..... Perhaps it might be time to contact the Graphics Teacher there for a another "Brain Storming Session" (Heros Journey).
On a positive note, all my course assessments are done and submitted. On Thursday we have our STEPS breakup party. Its ironic, I said I wanted to BE someone by my 40th Birthday and the day we Graduate is the day I turn 41. And you will never guess what else? Its raining. On my first day of University it was raining cats and dogs and now on graduation day is raining again... Kind of makes me feel like I have come full circle. And I suppose I have.
I have my Maths exam this Friday. I am not worried because I received 100% on the last test and you only have to receive 100% all up and you pass the course. Next week (Week 13 - Exam Week) I intend to sit the optional test. It will give me an actual Grade in Maths. Maths is not graded like the other Courses. It doesn't matter the score you receive on the 2 tests, all that matters is over all you score 100% and you will receive a score of a pass. If you would like a higher grade, then you have to sit the optional test. The way I see it, I have come this far, why not give it a go? Failing the optional test will not take away my PASS it will only increase my GPA so, nothing ventured nothing gained.
