Sigh ((contented))

I made it! All finals done and another semester accomplished. It was nought without casualties though, my pride and humility took a hit along with my GPA. Hopefully my high charisma score will save my scholarship.

And with my new found free time I have mastered the feat of using a sewing machine! I used to struggle with it constantly and could never figure the thing out for any length of time. I must have earned enough xp to learn it. =) Yes, I am that dorky. Shows you how great of a mood I am in! However, my measuring skills could use a level up... Mental note to make the next tabard a few inches wider and longer.

Hmmm a whole month with no class and only working 3-4 days per week. Imagine what I can accomplish. Wanna hang out???

Huggles!!!

I Will Survive

For a little while there, I wasn't so sure. It was just too much. After my disgusting performance last week on my comparative vertebrate morphology finals, I was convinced that I was going to fail the class. Thanks the lords it is not so.... But I think the very shock of the possibility will do me a bit of good in the long run. I am not perfect. I managed to get through my first two years of college with the same study habits as high school. But this last semester required more and I just did not realize it in time. I hope that the drop in my GPA doesn't lose me my scholarship. I am determined to dig my feet in next semester and start feeling like myself again. I am tired of not being in the top of the class anymore. I am tired of being mediocre. Next semester will be different. I'm only taking 15 credits instead of my usual 20 so I should have more study time. I just hope that I haven't done too much damage already. Time to make an appointment with my honors counselor and see what needs to be done to optimize the situation.

Thank you world for knocking me off of my academic pedestal.

What's at the End of the Tunnel?

Well, that little bit of shining cannot be coming from me because I am completely burnt out. Therefore it must be hope in sight. Too bad it is three days and four finals away. I have been attempting to study for tomorrow's exams all day but I can't seem to get my mind to stop running away. My heart is crying too loudly to hear anything else. I feel paralyzed. The only thing that keeps me from just giving up and laying down and crying is that what I do tomorrow and Friday will effect the rest of my life. Or perhaps the problem is that no matter how well I do, it won't fix how badly I messed up this semester? Or maybe none of it matters at all and I should just let go and float away into nothingness.

Where do I go from here?
