Trimester A 2026

Thus, with all my grades in, my first trimester at university is complete. That's five thousand dollars I must eventually slave away to pay back, and another five thousand in the upcoming three months... how fun!!! First few weeks/half of the semester was a bit of a struggle to make friends, but otherwise fine and stress-free. Had a scheme at the start of it to try and change into a psych lab that had cute guys in it, aka I went to a bunch and stayed in the one with the cutest guys! Not that anything came out of it but I admire my own planning skills.

The second half of the semester was a lot more enjoyable, I had dabbled in a few friendships in the first half but they really solidified in the second, and I met more awesome people to befriend! I'm so healed right now. Towards the end with the three impending essays I just decided to not do them, and hope I passed anyways. But I got really worried about passing and basically just wasting thousands of dollars if I didn't pass so I gathered the strength to do them anyways. Here's the grade breakdown starting from worst to best!

ARTSC110 - Culture and Creativity

This class was truly just bullshit and fun, cause that is all I did in it. Just talked and talked during the entire two hour workshops with a friend. Topics varied wildly from photography, to the ocean, and even the movie Black Panther. With an undercurrent of 'we hate AI'. It is in this class where I wrote some of the gems from my old moodle blog, such as the blog about how I wished for more Russian influence around the globe because the Russian language is hot, and I'm pretty sure I wrote the one about men's mental health month over pride month in there too. My fuckassery extended to my work in that class as well. Since we were given weekly readings, and tasked to give four comments to be marked by AI. Since it was marked by AI you already know all I wrote down on in my comments was utter tomfoolery. Such as, in response to a paragraph about a monument to genocided queer people, I discussed how I was unaware that gays and lesbians existed before the modern day. Finishing it off with something along the lines of, "But surely bisexuals cannot exist, I mean pick a side am I right?" Or other comments about how hot Russian guys are. I did make an enemy due to this as these comments are public, that person being a friend/acquaintance of Zhyrra and maybe Daniels? Idk but she left a somewhat angry comment under one of my troll posts. Guess I'm a ragebaiter now.

The assignments were all basically leading into each other. The thesis as one, peer review as the next, research evaluation, and either conversation article or podcast as the culmination of all this work. The topic being about AI.

I got a 7/10 (10% of grade) for the Topic Selection, 5/5 (5% of grade) for the Peer Review, 73.5/100 (20% of grade) for Research Process, and I just did not do the last part because I couldn't be bothered, and guess what? Pretty sure I passed anyways. Not much more to say except I hope I don't fail and I won't not submit again because I am worried. I think I have just under 50/100 overall, but the Perusall comment grades aren't added yet so I should be good.

CRIMN102 - Crime Deviance and Social Justice

This class featured a lot of things that made me interested about psychology. It covered like crime statistics but what interested me was the focus on understanding the reasons and motivations behind crime. With four different theories taught during it. Classicalism, Positivism, Criticalism, and Realism. Classicalism was okay, more about reform of the old biased and unstandardised justice system. Positivism was like biological and inherent-to-the-individual causes of crime which kinda didn't buy me in as much, especially considering there was a whole subdivision biological positivism thing that was literally just "black people are savage and violent" racist theory. Realism was kinda okay but lame overall just felt watered down criticalism and right-wing trash. But criticalism was really where it was at! Yes lets talk about societal structures as causes of crime!! (heart eyes emoji).

But anyways, did fairly well on the weekly quizzes. Got 75 and 78 out of 100 on the tests respectively. Earning 18.75% and 19.50% of my grade each. And when it came to the essay, I did it in two hours, on the day it was due, cranked it out had some fun talking about feminist criminology theory and got 15/20 which got me surprise, 15% of my grade. Overall got 80.45.

SOCIO101 - Introduction to Sociology

You could call this Woke Class with topics covered such as Urbanisation, Gender, Sexuality, and Intersectionality. I quite enjoyed it, especially the gender and sexuality lectures which included a picture of the Handmaid's Tale in the patriarchy section. I don't have as much fun things to say for this one given I had no friends in this class. But sociology is a fun subject I would take again. Circling back to the essay and how I went from not doing it, to doing it so I don't fail. I actually ended up loving writing this. Didn't have to do any further reading, just found a nice little booth in the pa and wrote my heart out. Retroactively finding references that would suit my essay. Essay which I got an 80/100 on and contributing 21.60% of my grade. There were weekly tasks that I won't bother going over. There were two tests I did fairly bad on with 68.40/100, and 32.48/40, which contribute 13.68% and 16.24% respectively to my grade. Overall I got 81.23/100, yay!

PSYCH100 - Brain, Behaviour and Cognition.

Surprisingly I got my highest overall grade in this class considering when I did the exam I didn't remember basically anything. It was through this class that I met Zhyrra, which led to me knowing Azze**** and Daniels, which lead to me knowing Preston and Max! Again, I did search for a psych lab with cute guys which was difficult considering this, and all my other classes are overwhelmingly majority female. Maybe I need to get into some business classes or whateva. For the exam I only got 40/60, so kinda decent and I got 20% of my grade for that. But where I really shined was, surprisingly again, the Lab Reports. Where I got 19.5/20 on my first and 19/20 on the second, 24.38% and 23.75% of grade respectively. For a grade of 85.55/100 overall.

Overall? Job well-done. Except for not doing my Arts essay I kinda regret that. This is why you never study, imagine how much worse my grades would be if I did!!!
