so i'm putting off work by updating.
I came up with an analogy to describe this semester. I am like the jamaican bobsled team minus the pitty applause; I will finish the race, but i won't be in my sled when i do.
Going into last semester, my gpa was solidly above 3.5, and that stupid thing with intro the ancient world (where i forgot that attendance to the recitations accounted for 20% of my grade) dropped it to 3.45.
Thing is, it won't improve.
I am going to have to withdraw from videography which is a one-credit class. It was a guaranteed A, and it is what I am best at, but I just couldn't do anything right in that class. It is over now, I got all confused about the final paper--a two page paper. TWO. I could have done that in like, 15 minutes or whatever. The point is, i got all confused about what the assignment was and the due date and arg. So now I am just going to withdraw.
Spanish class. I have to take it and pass to graduate. I have missed four classes as of today, so I cannot miss more. (I will pass, but each one more will hurt my grade slightly) I hate spanish class. I am bad at spanish because of so many reasons. This particular class meets at 8:30am. That is bad.
Spanish is also a three-day-a-week class in a row. So i cannot take a one day break or anything from it to recuperate or catch up or whatever. It is terrible. I would not be unhappy with a D in spanish because at least i'd be done.
I'm taking three 300 histories. I am a history major. I've done splendidly in many semesters of history, but i think i've run out of ones i'm good at because I don't feel like i'm doing so great in Jefferson/Jackson, Communications, or history in Fiction.
I may be just imagining that because i never feel so confident about my classes. I don't think i am just imagining it though.
I just want to graduate and be done.
I also hate myself for a number of other reasons: I haven't been eating well, havent been sleeping well, just been well, not good.
BOOOOO
and i'm so busy that i haven't been looking for work, so even if i graduate i won't have a job.
Nor will I have any mega-cliche looking east germans slow-clapping in sync for me.
