Summer Scool over,grades finally in.....

After having the worst three weeks of my life, my grades are in, and luckily, I won't be repeating anything. I did VERY well on my final exam....so well, I almost managed a "B" out of a class I started terribly. A is for AWESOME, which is what I got in my Study of Gangs class. B is for "By God, I passed". C stands for "Could have been better, still passed". Still on track, one year to graduation and counting. If the coming year passes as quickly as this past one did, by the time I know it, I'll look up and see myself in a career that will actually pay me a living wage. But who am I kidding? There'll be much more to finish after this is all done. What next? Master's degree? Law School? Nothing? Who knows, but I do know for sure that I must stay focused and pace myself, to avoid the panic of overwhelming myself like I did this go 'round. The future is not some goal years from now I keep daydreaming over, but a run of classes that will start August 20th, and end December 10th.

Summer School is very expensive. So much so I dread returning next Summer to finish up the last two classes I'll need before graduation. Who knows how much it will cost me next year.

I bought the Harry Potter book Friday night. Wal-mart had a chest-high stack, so what the Hell? I'm about 75 pages away from the end. Very good distraction.

I've decided to start going back to the gym. I don't feel good about myself, and last time I tried to do anything endurance-related, I did horribly and I feel horribly. I though I had gained weight, but I haven't. I gained a good chunk of fat and lost muscle. I'm setting my goals, re-affirming myself, and pushing forward. forward.
