good news bad news
Well its official, im getting an F in my Business Law class. Shit! At first, i was really pissed off and upset, but its seeming like a blessing in disguise. There's alot of bad things about this thats balanced with something not so bad.
First, having to retake a course just sucks. But i talked to my professor and he said that it would be much more bennificial to me to retake the course rather than take the -D. I could take the exam, but i can only get a -D if get a 100% on it. And the only reason why i've failed the class is because its really a class im not used to. Its been difficult to prepare myself for the tests, but i picked up on an awesome strategy to study for the exams. But i unfortunately didn't realize this until a day before my last test, which was kinda too late. But this is cool because knowing how to study for a class like this is comparable to knowing how to study for a law school class. Basically, i studied the actual business laws established rather than someone's opinion about business laws. So when i take the course again, i'm gonna kick its ass. Either way, being in the position sucks real bad because D or F, im not gonna make grades to become a full brother next semester like i had planned. It means i have to wait till........God knows when. I've been really excited about being a full brother, but there's not much i can do about it right now. I've punched the credit numbers together, and no matter what, im not gonna meet the standards necessary.
But the good news is that this provides me with an opportunity to move off campus next semester. It says in the housing agreement with stetson that grades is a permissable reason to move off campus. Given that my grades are pretty much tumbling, i think i might be able to score it. I still have to talk to people at res life, but that seems to be the only barrier. Finances wont be a problem, i've got two roomates already dead set on getting an apartment, an apartment in the area thats affordable, and three job applications (two of which say they're hiring). Its not in stone yet, but it seems like things are in my favor. Moving off will be very good for me. Im now entering my senior year, and its about time i start establishing myself independently of my parents. I have a few ideas about what i want to do when i graduate, but i really won't pursue them here with all the distractions on campus, and people pulling me into the distractions off campus (certain brothers coming into my room thursday nights saying, "your going to the bar, thats it.") I really need to focus, and i think this is gonna be good for me.
Im really disappointed that i wont be a full brother until friggin forever from now, and it sucks even more that im moving out of the house. This really has become home to me. But i think my problem has always been not making any decisions for myself that are needed. But its situations like these that i truly appreciate the brotherhood here, the accountability. I cant be apart of the things i want to be apart of unless i focus on what i need to focus on. i really want to be a full brother, but i dont think i'll be able to do it if i stay in the house, nor will i be ready for graduation.
anyhoosits, i only have two exams now, and they're hard as hell. Off to study.
BTW, i love steve figsy
