<p>Well, I wanted to be a math major, but I ended up with a C in my Calculus I class. But there were a variety of factors that went into that, though I don't think anyone that deals with admissions would really want to hear that I wasn't able to study for the class because I was too busy trying to keep myself from failing General Chemistry. Didn't do the homework (for Calculus, not chem) and showed up for the test dates and it was my first real semester with too much on my plate with an honors course in political science (demanding) and also macroeconomics (demanding, way more than I thought it would be initially). I got a 21% on my first midterm in Chemistry (not for a lack of studying, the teacher was very hard and has a high failure rate) and worked my butt off to manage to pass the class with a C. 10+ hours of studying a day to succeed in that class, but my math class was on the back burner. So, I thought I had a pretty bad semester with two B's and two C's. And the C's were both in 5 credit classes, which just killed my GPA.</p>
<p>I'm taking Calculus 2 during the summer and it's a lot of work, but I've calculated that I'll make an 88 (gave us our grade reports today) by the end of the this course and the teacher doesn't bump you up, so I earned what I got. But I don't know, I really like math, but I make a lot of stupid mistakes and change my answers from right to wrong. But Calculus 2 has been much easier to get through than Calculus I for me since I was actually able to devote some time to it.</p>
<p>I'm pretty afraid that I won't get accepted into any of the universities that I wanted as I'm coming from a community college and I guess people expect you to get your act here together. I am trying, I just had bad time management and had a lot of trouble focusing and depression, but I tried to pass the courses I had. Didn't want to drop because I'm not a quitter. </p>
<p>I'm going to work extremely hard and kill myself to earn A's for my sophomore year, but I'm also worried that won't be enough.</p>
