which is a great thing! This is going to take up alot of room but id really like to express stuff thats going on in my life right now..
I will finally be done with my undergraduate degree next month! I will have a major in English and a minor in Communications. Althought its next month, I have 7 classes worth of work to do. I sat down today and made myself 2 schedules. My first one deals with everything that needs to be done before Thanksgiving and the second one is everything that remains. When I look at it, I think its virtually impossible for me to get it done. I know ill make it through and its gonna be tough, but ive come this far so ill make it. My goal for this semester is to raise my gpa to atleast a 3.3/3.4. I really want to make cum laude and as of now, I have a 3.1. Im trying to work up to full potential because I want those B pluses to be A's or A minues by the end.
I also have to meet with an adviser and some of my teachers to discuss my final projects and papers. I need to look for a part time job that is relates to what I want to do. I am also of course looking to gain experience. My my mom knows many people who are successful in their careers and I hope to get the chance to discuss my plans and goals with them. I am also going to be involved in a benefit concert that will be taking place in June 2006. My moms friends is in charge and asked if I would help out. Im really excited to be involved in the event planning because ive always been interested in event coordination. Its a good chance for me to develop creative ideas and see if this is something I want to continue to pursue.
I will most likely be going to graduate school in Fall 2006. My school has a program, along with others, that consists of grad students working at umass in a field related to a specific students major. I would love to get a masters in buisness and expand my experiences and knowledge. My majors all link together and will help me suceed in what I want to do. Im really trying to do the best I can and work hard to be exactly where Ive wanted to be for so long.
Im starting to realize that things arent what they used to be. People grow up and people change. Some for the better and some for the worse. I have to learn that I cant take everything to heart. Ill always be someone that cares about my family and friends more then I do about myself, but I cant ever stop being that concerned and loving person. I always want to be there for everyone and help in any way I can. Ill always always be there for the people I trust and care about. I have to learn to take care of myself and do whats best for me.
Along with classes, 4 days a week, I also continue to work as much as I can at Newbury. Although I get stressed there sometimes, It really helps me get my mind off of stuff and makes me step away from all the work I have to do for school. It of course helps that I work with wonderful people who I love and get me through alot. So if you work in newton and are reading this, thanks for everything. You guys are thee best.
I also have lots of other stuff going on thats personal. If you know about it, then its because I want you to know. I just constantly try to keep positive. My family is always always there to keep me that way. I love my family. I also have to thank my friends for great times and laughs. I love my friends and am very lucky. Thanks to everyone whos always there to listen. It means more then you know..
wish me luck :)
