So, I felt pretty crappy walking out of my final on the 22nd. I decided I wasn't going to dwell on it, but I felt crappy nonetheless. I've been waiting (not so patiently) to hear about my grade for the course. Today, I logged on and checked my transcript. I managed to pull it off after all. Thank God. I really didn't want to have to explain ( Read more... )

school, life

If you ask me, I knew you could do it, and know you can do it, and even if you weren't a 3.0 I'd still know it. You can do it! Congrats on clearing another somewhat ridiculous hurdle!

:) Thanks! It's still nice to get reminders periodically.

I think one of MIT's great gifts and curses is the way it breaks its students down and then builds them back up...it's just if you're like me and did more than your share of f*ing around as an undergrad, you get broken down and then you're just sort of left there in pieces.

I feel like I've spent a large chunk of my life in agony over the squandered opportunities of the past and feeling like a failure...largely because I did fail...and that failure follows and haunts me and makes me feel like maybe I'll never get my head back above water.

But I will. I know it. I just have to find a way to convince someone to give me the chance. I'm more than the hefty sum of my youthful indiscretions.
