Mark My Words—It’s Gonna Happen This Time.
As I read through the syllabus for my humanities class—school starts in a week; I am so excited—I started to think. Every semester I say to myself “this is the semester that you’re getting straight A’s.” Usually I end up having one measly B that ruins the entire semester and while that’s acceptable and doesn’t hurt my GPA much, it still doesn’t fulfill my goal. In high school it was easy to get straight A’s…but in college—not so much.
But mark my words! This semester I am going to be a total and complete nerdbomber. I am going to do all the readings. I am going to do all the assignments ahead of time. I am not going to have to stress and pull constant all-nighters. I am going to keep focused. For one reason, my classes are a tiny tiny bit easier this semester. I don’t have any science, which usually takes up most of my brainpower. I love science, I live for science…but a break is gonna be nice before I have to compeletely delve into science.
The second reason that I am finally going to be the perfect student in school is that it’s my last semester at SPC. My last semester of the kiddie pool. Next semester is the real thing. The next semester is what I’ve been working towards all this time. By then I have GOT to have my shit together. No more messing around and finding excuses…I have to get it together. It’s my absolute last trial-run before I enter the big pond.
I am SO excited.
Oh and…40 days until I get a response from UF.
