UDWPE: Upper Division Writing Proficiency Exam

Tuesday, June 10, 2008

The so-called "dreaded" writing exam for all upper division students that must be taken in order to take the 400 level class.

I took this exam in April. I just remember standing in one of the longest lines ever for something I really didn't want to take. We had 75 minutes to answer the given prompt -- the typical standardized test that I hated taking during high school.

What's my point?

I was curious if I passed that test or not. I remembered that the test administrators mentioned the scores would be up within a month of the exam.

So, I checked the CSUN portal to find my score, and I PASSED!

The highest score you can receive on the exam is a 12. I scored a 9.

YES!!

Such a relief. That's one less thing to worry about academically.

I really don't know why I make things difficult for myself when it comes down to school.

Well, this is incentive to get the hell out of CSUN! :P

$5/gal! INSANE.

Gas prices alone made my decision a lot easier about taking summer school classes at CSUN. I know I SHOULD take summer session, but with the rising gas prices, that's not going to happen.

I need to save money and I think I'd rather work this summer and maybe take a class at a local CC instead of driving all the way to the Valley, wasting gas and money for ONE class.

I'm getting more hours at work now.
The "she-devil's" relocating to Indiana. Yeessss!! Haha!

I still should find another job since I'm not taking any class during summer session.

I'm thinking about taking ONE class during summer session. Italian or some music class. Probably at ElCo.

Oh, one last thing before I end this nonsense of a blog. I went to YL today and they no longer had the peach flavor! The HORROR! Hahaha!

Save gas: Carpool! Or walk, run, fly, skip, jump, crawl, bike. Whatever you can. :)
