• Calculate your GPA by hand and explain if you are happy or not with the quarter three results you obtained.
  
• 7 is 4.0
• 6 is 3.7
• 5 is 3.0
• 4 is 2.0
• 3 is 1.0
• 2 is 0.0
• 1 is 0.0

The GPA I got was 3.85, which resulted from 4 6's and 4 7's. I am very happy with the GPA I had because it is pretty high, even though I always strive to do better. I am satisfied with the grades I got, but I think that I could have done much better in some of the classes. I am proud that I did not get any 5's or bellow because I hate to get bad grades and for me a 5 is already bad. I did improve in some of the classes, for example, in my French class I started in Quarter 1 with a 5, and then I improved to a 6 in Quarter 2 and then to a 7 in Quarter 3. In Geometry class, however, my grade is constant, a 6, but I think this is kind of good because I am not that bad at it, though I would always like to improve and do my best to do so. :)

• Tell me where the final four teams for the NCAA mens basketball tournament are from. Also add an interesting fact about each school.

The four final teams for the NCAA are:

1. Virginia Commonwealth University, located in Richmond, Virginia. Did you know that.... in 2006, VCU became the most populated university in Virginia and the first one to have 30,000 students.
2. University of Connecticut, located in Storrs, Connecticut. Did you know that... the UConn was first founded in 1881 and its name was the Storrs Agricultural School and was named after the Storrs brothers who had donated the land for the purpose of creating a school.
3. Butler University, located in Indianapolis, Indiana. Did you know that... the 1919 the athletic teams of Butler were called the "Christians", but after a series of losses in games and tournaments, people started disliking the name, and so they changed it to Bulldogs. This is the name they have now.
4. Kentucky University, located in Lexington, Kentucky. Did you know that... in 2009, UK was the first university to reach 2000 won games and that 2000th game was won against the Drexel University Dragons 88-44.
