school again

I actually didn’t fuck up as badly as I thought I had! I am the kind of person who tends to avoid looking at things or dealing with them if something goes wrong because I always expect the worse. When I finally felt well enough, I checked my last semester’s grades, and found I had actually still passed one of my classes with a C+ and got a D in another that actually counts because I started going to my college before they enacted the C or better policy. I hate leaving those classes with such shitty grades (my GPA is usually an A-) but I’ll take credit where I can.

I thought I’d have to do a medical withdrawal for the other two classes, but one of them I have to take for my program anyway so the F will be replaced with whatever I get this fall, and the other teacher is being amazingly awesome and allowing me to make up the work. This means I can still graduate this fall, even though I kind of lost it there for a while.

The spring is going to be a really difficult semester though: I have five classes, plus the class to make up, and though I only have class for two days a week, the days are 12 hours each (10:30am-9:50pm). I’m pretty nervous about it, but I know I really need to do this in order to get my degree and just move on with my life.

I’m also making a goal to read one poetry book per week. I’ve been reading books as normal even though I’ve been feeling shitty, so I think it’s gonna be a possible goal. With my financial aid, I went ahead and bought a few extra books that I didn’t need in order to have enough for this goal, though I’ll need a few more.

School started for me on Tuesday so I haven’t had all of my classes yet. Plus work, this is gonna be rough, but I think I’ll be ok.
