Hey people, well, I am sitting here, and writing this, after a whirlwind of few days of writing papers and finals, and now that I have turned in all but one paper, I am sitting here, running on about 9 hours of sleep, that I awoke from just over 22 hours ago, feeling the bravado drain out. I am normally worried some about my grades, but something about this semester makes me feel like that if I am lucky, I will pull of an uncharacteristically low 2.75-3.0 gpa. Now this sounds a bit like moping over passing, but then again, I would also be glad to just pass. Granted, I have to get a 2.5 for the semester to keep my scholarships next year, but I would like to keep it up, so I can keep certain members of my Faculty and advisors in my corner for letters of recommendations and such as they are needed.
Onto new business, I should have a job that will start on Wednesday, but the email and such letting me know to start will arrive on Monday. I kinda hope to get this job, as it will be an easy job, that I can keep part time for the rest of my time in College, and with the probability of a paid internship in the International Studies Department in the Fall, I will be so well off my senior year, considering I pass all my classes this semester, that I may be able to get ahead on some of those post college bills, and maybe a bit ahead on the possibility of Graduate School. I am hoping to apply and be accepted to either or both of two schools. My top two are the Korbel School of International Studies at Denver University and Northeastern University International Relations Graduate Program or Political Science Program in Boston. Both will be a different setting for me, Denver, maybe westernish, but is different from most of the West Coast areas I hear, and Boston is just a place I have visited, and figured I could live, but then again I would possibly be ran out of town for the incessant Boondock Saints references.
