So, it’s exam time. Starting at 8am til 3pm, back to back exams.
Am I prepared?
Maybe… but this all depends on the kind of exam I get
I am looking forward to tomorrow although I will be completely depressed when the final grades are out… I’ll be really scared to check the grades.
I always end up saying, it’ll be different next semester… it has come true, but it’s a bad different type of change. How about I go for a positive change? Work harder and screw everything else until I can get things going positively.

I just calculated my predicted GPA for this semester. =X Holy crap, I’m not going to tell anyone my GPA. How embarrassing!
How’d I get myself in this position?
Someone smack some sense into me before next semester.
welp… I guess next semester will be the deciding semester.

Stress wee- I mean, “Dead” week sped by so fast. I don’t exactly remember what I did during that time. With Finals week only a single-step away, I am not stressed nor am I anxious. This semester… I am going to call it my “Trials & Tribulations” semester. I will recognize it as my worst semester at Tech; otherwise, academic doom is inevitable. I have learned a lot about myself- these things mainly being mistakes and flaws in my character which I will resolutely try to fix with the new year coming around the block.
Christmas is coming; yay- this means two things for me: time to celebrate the birth of Christ (duh!
) and also add another year to my age. Yes, ladies and gentlemen… I am turning 21. I am particularly looking forward to this day… I do not know why exactly… probably because my birthday represents the winter break I will have away from Tech while I reorganize my priorities which have been mangled up so bad this semester. No no, you got me wrong – turning 21 may be important for some of you but I shall try to enjoy my 21st year. I was actually wondering if I could go my 21st year without a single drink. I think I could do this but then again, what would this accomplish?
I am typing this up at the library right now- I should be working on my final report for DDL but I thought I’d cut myself some slack and give an update on my bloggin’. Ugh, I had this whole 3 week vacation plan + work plan that I was excited about for the summer but I was told if I wanted to school during the summer semester, I would not have 3 consecutive weeks to vacation. Anyways, just for the sake of recording my original plan: it was going to be a square trip around the United States. First, fly from home to LAX so I can visit my long-time-no-see Freshmen friend in Cerritos, CA: Tony! Spend about a week or so with him and see the sights of the West Coast and the infamous state of California. Then, fly north to Portland, OR to visit another great friend: Jordan. Spend about a week or so with him and see if we can find his
Then take a trip back East to Scranton, PA- where I have held a remote position since last Spring so I can finally meet those that are involved in the company I work for… spend about another week there and familiarize myself with the company and my colleagues.
Not exactly sure what I can do about it now since I just found out that we only have like a week from the last week of Spring semester until the Summer semester and also a two week break from the last week of Summer semester until the Fall semester. BLAH!!!! I was getting all excited and looking forward to summer but…. ugh, we’ll see.
Worries? Well, spring semester is coming and tuition paying time is upon me. I don’t think I made enough since the last time I paid tuition to cover the cost of spring semester. This means that I might have to ask my parents to loan me some money which I don’t want to do… *sigh* I’ve asked my superior at work if I can find another job since I’m only part-timing anyways since my request for more working hours have not yet changed anything; he said he’ll talk to the person who takes care of employee payroll to see if there are any additional hours that I can take. And I hope FinAid won’t throw me any surprises by screwing my fees and loans. I hate this out of state tuition thing… I am deperately hoping that my application for Georgia residency is approved when I submit that next semester. That’ll be so awesome.
College Sports-wise… Tech beat Tennessee State 94-43. That’s a 51 point margin of victory. We are 7-0 now and going strong. Ranked Top 15 by ESPN and I’m sure our ranking will increase as the season goes along. I can’t wait until we play Duke, UNC, Clemson, FSU, and Georgia. Revenge will be upon them all when the times comes
UGA lost to LSU in the SEC Championship here in Atlanta today. The final score was 34-13. LSU just slammed the dawgs all over the Georgia Dome. I watched a quarter or so of it… and it was great
UGA can talk smack all they want… arrogance is a flaw in itself!
That’s about it… I’m going to try to write some of this report before I go back.
Sleep well to those of you who has the time… good luck to all those Techies this coming week.
