Sophomore Year, First Semester
Wow! I really didn’t think my grades would be this good this semester. First of all, I failed most of my first long exams and did really bad on some midterms like SA21. In the end, I got better grades with the subjects I thought I’d do really poorly in like Th121. I thought I’d do better in Hi18 but I guess history really isn’t my forte. Especially since I’m really bad at memorization.
This is really good news for me bec I’m really hoping to be able to go to Japan to study for a short while. The JTA for Humanities has a minimum grade of a 3, but I think if I maintain this QPI or do better I’d still make it somehow. Except JTA is really expensive since it’s one semester. I’m actually hoping for a summer tour or something like that. The only problem is Japan’s summer coincides with the first semester here. I’ve been checking out schools that offer summer tours in Japan but they’re too expensive and usually it only covers the schooling and w/o plane fare, boarding, and living expenses.
So if anyone knows of a summer tour in Japan that lands on April-May or even until early June? Hopefully one that isn’t too expensive and comes w/ lodging and living expenses. Even if it doesn’t include plane fare yet.
