School... School... School... (And an explanation for lack of updates)

So, I've got my schedule set up for fall semester. It took my academic advisor and I 40 minutes to agree on it. LOL. I'm usually out of there in 10.

So, by changing my major to Psych I'm dumping added courses onto my already heavy load. I am taking 20 hours this fall. Ugh.

Math
Spanish
Interpersonal Communications
Developmental Psych
Socialogy
PE
American History 2

Did I mention that to get my GPA back up I can get no less than a B? In anything. Ever! I had a 4.0 when I transferred there last fall. Then I screwed around and brought it down to a 2.5 or 2.6.

So now, I have until Spring to bring it up to a 3.25. I'm not thrilled.

Then, this Spring I need to take:

Spanish 2
English Literature
?Com (Not sure, but possibly)
Living Science course
Math

I think I have one additional class to add, but I'm not sure what it is. Then in the summer I may take Stats and go back in the fall. UGH.

I start school at 8 a.m. and I get out around noon. Monday through Friday. I figure what I'll do is grab lunch at school around noon, then head over to the tutoring center for math help (cause Lord knows I'll need it!) and stick around till my math work is done. Then, I'll go on base and study at the library until my husband is off work (around 4:30) and go home, eat, clean house, and maybe study a bit more.

I'm going to make it a point to find 3 hours every week to write, if at all possible. I'll make sure that during those three hours I work on some fan fiction, not just my original stuff. I'm making outlines now of all my stories, that way I will know what's going to happen, and it should be faster to write when the time comes.

Right now I'm busy studying for bio. I have to have a 96 on my last 2 bio tests, and get at least a 98 on my lab practical (final) for me to get an A in the class. I really, really want an A. I've worked my ass off this semester for it. I'm so angry, because had I just studied for that first test the A would be a sure thing. Now, with three weeks left I'm killing myself to get that A. I will probably seriously cry if I get a B. It will end up being by a half a percent or something if I miss that A. Grrrr.

Ok, well, I just wanted to let you all know what was going on and why I'm not really updating anything. I'm planning ahead and trying to get my act together. I realized that if I want to get into a graduate program I need to worry about my GPA now. And boy, am I ever.

A word of advice to all high school students: Do not take a year off before college! I did, and while it motivated me to get back, I forgot sooo much. It totally wasn't worth it. I went from a 3.5 (?) in high school and NEVER studying to busting my ass to bring my GPA up in college. And all because I forgot so much stuff. Oh well, hind sight is 20-20.
