*Grumble grumble*
So professor Gaustad mentioned wanting to put me into the honor's part of the college, said that I was a very bright guy. Dr. Savrda said that I was one of her best students and she would be happy to write me a letter of recommendation anywhere and I have her cell and home number. I told him I already was in the science honors part and got all the news letters and all that, and he said "Good." I'm not sure why, but that bothered me.
I think of myself in a great deal as wasted potential. Perhaps I was born with a bit more natural intelligence than others, but because of that I've taken it for granted and allowed myself to slump back into this situation. Out of high school I had a full ride to any University in Florida, and I decided on SCC, even though I had about a 3.7 GPA...Now my GPA is barely, just barely at 3.0... Not that it isn't getting me my education, but it certainly isn't a four year institution either, and it doesn't have nearly the advantages of UCF.
And now that I am going to UCF, almost a year later than I should be anyway, what do I have? An AA and a little tag on my diploma that won't really do anything for me once I get there.
How do I backtrack three years, and get back the drive I had when I first got out of high school? More than that, what now...?
I am feeling terribly frustrated right now.
