(no subject)
It's nice. I can finally relax now. I have finally done it...I have pulled myself out of my academic slump. It feels real good, because I did put a lot of effort into my classes and it paid off for the most part. I still need to learn how to manage my time a little better, and not put things off until the last minute, but hey it's a gradual process. I'm not gonna turn into some super-scholarly asshole overnight. Or even over a year's time for that matter. But at least I can say I'm finally looking forward to the future.
So how exactly did I do?
Three B's, two C's.
The B's were in English II, US Government, and US History II. The C's were in Chemistry and Guitar. Haha. I know what you must be thinking. "A 'C' in Guitar, that's preposterous." And yeah, if so, I don't blame you for thinking that. Afterall, every other time I'm talking to you or anyone else online, I'm "playin geetar", or some variation of that. Well let me tell you what happened. I prioritized. And that's my excuse. Besides, there's no way I'm going to have any fun playing simple little acoustic medleys on a cheapo electric Ibanez guitar that's meant for grinding out powerchords and shit. Ultimately, the classical stuff will influence my playing style somewhat, but when it comes to studying for chemistry and practicing some prelude in G major, I think the latter will just have to um...not fucking matter as much. Plus okay, the guitar class only counted for 1 semester hour, the other classes counted for 3 (or 4, for chemistry) each.
The C in chemistry is VERY substancial because now I can finally go on to higher levels of chemistry. I've taken Chemistry 1 like...four times now. It's just ridiculous. I never could make above a D. Well noooo moooore. I'm movin on. The B's in History and Government replace the F's I got the first time I took them so that helped my GPA considerably. That's why so much was riding on this semester!
So yeah, no more academic probation. No more bad standing with my university. Full financial aid will be available to me. Plus I'm FINALLY a sophomore! Haha. I think I'm going to take one more semester at TCC, and then I'll transfer back to a REAL university again. Maybe the University of North Texas. I'll probably never ever consider going back to Sam Houston again, so...UNT seems like the next best choice. Plus there's no way I'll ever be able to go to a school outside of Texas, unfortunately.
Anyways. I'm pretty happy.
There are a few people who I have had to neglect due to school, and on account of my subsequently shitty moods...well, now that christmas break is on, there's no excuse, we should effin' hang out. I'm also looking forward to meeting some new people, and if you even read this, you know who you are.
Still no job...but I WILL have one by the end of January. Seriously. If I STILL can't seem to get one...uh. Here's lookin to my future in the sex industry. Or McDonalds, I guess.
I really miss a lot of people I used to talk to a lot online/over the phone with. I guess people are just...moving on. Maybe I should too. Well...AFTER I send out the christmas cards. Because what the hell. It's a nice gesture no matter what and it give me some sense of satisfaction, I guess. If I never hear from those people ever again, meh, I suppose it was cool while it lasted.
