WHAT'S UP DEAN'S LIST?!
To make the Dean's, apparently you need a 3.5 or better. Fall 2006-3.658 =)
I'm really proud of myself. I know this is a big deal, and I deserve(d) it.
This semester is even more demanding & challenging than the first, and I think my GPA is going to be consistent. I've been constantly busy juggling schoolwork, work, bowling, and spending time with Dan. Maybe this is a good thing, though; I don't have time to dwell on any negative stuff in my life...just keep pushing forward I suppose.
I'm finding it kind of hard to adjust to adult mode. The parents are asking that I do some things on my own now, which I understand, but I don't think they realize that I jumped from being a smart, jobless senior in high school to living with one parent, commuting everywhere, and paying for a lot more things. Maybe I'm being unreasonable and am just used to being served everything on a dressed up plate. Maybe it's a good thing I don't have too many friends up here; I don't have the quality time to spend with them that I would like to.
I've only been getting 7 hours of sleep every weekday, which is bad considering I go to bed at 10pm. All these breaks don't help much; yeah, I get work done, but I'm not working to my potential sometimes.
Friday the 16th at 2:50pm starts my winter break until Sunday the 25th. Of course Long Island is on my mind, but now that my workload has ridiculously gone up, most of that time won't be dedicated to sitting around surrounded by people that brighten up my life. Maybe I'm growing up too fast; they say the rest of your life is going to be work, take advantage of adolescence and enjoy the freedom. Maybe that's just a saying.
Time for some Calculus, spaghetti, and a well-deserved nap.
