A Random Static

This last semester was really hard on me. I’m not talking just about the physical trials of staying up until 0200 or 0300 and then being up again at 0700. Sure that was tough but when you combine that with the constant strain of keeping a 34 year old man with no professional skills in check and keeping your other team mates from killing the aforementioned member, you have a very difficult four months.

I’m not sure exactly how I managed it but I’ll tell you this much.. my grades suffered as a result.

I was very proud of my near perfect GPA. At the beginning of December it even paid off slightly via a Thousand dollar scholarship check dropping at my door. Was a very nice surprise. But this semester I will be very lucky if I can walk away with something closer to a 3.0. I might even be optimistic about that number but I’m trying not to dwell…

Being mediocre in my studies is not what I’m used to. I’m not happy with the current situation but there really is nothing that I can do about it. I just need to get over it and move forward. I have 4 months left. Power through and get it done.

Now on to some much needed rest. Three weeks of doing nothing school related. Except study some of the stuff I think I’m weak at from the last semester. And maybe go over some of the things I’m stronger at. Maybe I’ll just skim the whole semester and be done with it.
