Back to School

So, a new semester begins this week. Actually, it was supposed to begin last week, but we had snow days from Monday untill Thursday. I have no classes on Fridays, so Mason and I got an extra week of winter break. Actually, I was pretty surprised since it's rare for Georgia to get 1 snow day let alone a whole week of them. Anyway, I'm doing things a little differently this semester. I'm normally one of those over achievers that tries to take as many credit hours as I can. After all, the more I get done, the sooner I can graduate. However, last semester was a rough one. I put all my energy in to one class, and neglected the other 4. In the end, I passed the 4 I neglected, although I could have done a lot better. As for the one I put the efort in too, I got a d. Technically, that's passing. However, since it's a class for my major, a d means no credit, which means I have to retake it. This along with the ones that were also lower than normal caused my grade point average to drop. So, I decided to only take 4 classes this semester, the minimum you can take as a full time student. With less to do, I'm hoping I can raise my grade point average and keep my scholarship. Also, I can enjoy the college experiense a little more. Like I said, I originally thought that it was good to rush things, but I decided that I'd rather have the better grades and the fun memories than a quick deploma. Besides, a higher GPA will be a necesity when I apply for graduate school. So, wish me luck. I'm definitely going to need it. lol
