One Semester Closer to Graduation !

Tonight, I have a case of insomnia.. probably because of the way to long, but much needed nap I took with my son earlier, but this insomnia makes for a perfect time to update my blog and write a new post! The past two weeks for me were filled with studying and taking final exams, exhausting! Since I didn't do as well as I hoped during the semester, the grade I made on my finals (for most, but not all of my classes) could either make or break me.

Even though some of my professors were trying to send me to an early grave by waiting until the very last minute to post my grades, I am glad to say all my studying (and praying!) paid off because I passed all of my classes. And I made a 97 on one of my finals! I knew I had done well, but no idea I did that well! However, I did not make all A's and B's like I hoped, I got a couple of C's... I was really disappointed in that because in high school I never got C's but it's become the norm in my college career -__- I feel like going into college, I wasn't focused on school like I should have been. I don't know if it was because of my semi-sheltered life, but I just wanted to have fun and explore... Sometimes I wish I would have started at a community college to catch my bearings and realize the seriousness of it all, but everything happens for a reason and I have no regrets. But I really thought I could skip class, party all night, and barely study and still make passing grades, like high school.. I just find the ridiculousness of that sooo funny now. Young and dumb.

Anyway, despite all of that I have only two semesters left of my undergrad year! I will be taking on a heavy load (again) next semester.. another 17 credit hours, but for my final semester I only need 10 more credit hours! And my goal for the remainder of my undergrad career is to at least get all A's and B's next semester, and then for my final semester straight A's.. I know I can do it!

My son spent the weekend with his father, so I took a night to celebrate (solo dolo) with some wine... (:

Other great news, I recently got a job! I have not started yet, I have orientation this week. I am so excited to start working and earning money of my own again! And once I start working and get the swing of things I'll write more about my new job. I'm about to be really busy, but I'm prepared and know that I can do this! God would not throw anything at me that I could not handle! I hope to do some Christmas crafts with my son soon, so expect a post on all that in the near future!
