<p>So.. I just finished my first semester at Rice (AND LOVED IT!) but I'm still waiting for my final grades on ESTHER. I thought today was the last day for professors to submit grades via ESTHER, but I haven't gotten grades in about half of my classes. </p>
<p>Basically, just tell yourself you need to work harder next semester, study a little more and procrastinate a little less (but don’t party any less!). I know I didn’t do as well as I hoped even though I worked hard, so I’m not really that concerned about my grades this semester. But this is from a student who’s not planning on going to medical, law, or any other grad school, so I’m not really the one to talk.</p>
