This is going to be a pretty bad semester...
I've given up on my math class and I'm just not going to go because there's NO WAY I can make up all the work I've missed and study enough to get what's going on. I just need to start over. So, there's an F there.
Luckily, my two French professors are lovely and understand my slump and they are being very kind and I'm still doing well on tests in my grammar class. I just have to do a presentation for my conversation class, which won't be so hard.
And, it's great because even with that F, my GPA won't fall much below 3.0. I'll just have to work hard while I'm in France. If I do well there, that's 18 credits transferred back to USM with some good grade... but unfortunately, won't affect my USM GPA, but will still show up on my transcript as good grades.
Has anyone ever just gave up on a class and just stopped showing up the last month of the semester? I feel like it's going to do something really bad, but I wonder if I just tell the professor. I mean, it's too late to drop it without the F anyway.
I just wish I could do a full semester's work without fucking up in one class, or having to drop a class. I guess after awhile it will affect your financial aid. But, I'm hoping that I can just make up some of those classes I didn't do so well in (this math class, and Syntax, which I got a D in).
I need to get on the ball, but unfortunately, I don't think I can do that right now until I come back from France. I need a change of pace and scenery... Portland's starting to really depress me. But, I can't tell if that's just because winter is coming.
I love winter a lot, but for some reason, I'm just really depressed and I feel lonely during the winter months. But, snow and playing outside in the winter are always fun. Just, I feel depressed if I'm alone for more than 5 minutes. And, it's already starting to happen!
