Wow. School is the suck. I'm taking all the same classes as last semester (yeah, it was pretty bad) and now I'm bored as hell. It's not like I didn't learn anything in the classes or pay attention at all. It's just I have a terrible memory and it's hard for me to remember important things so I tend to clam up on tests. I try, I guess I just have to try harder now. One good note for last semester: after receiving a 23% one of three "midterms" for Calc III (and having a 90% average for the quizzes) I managed to pull the grade up to a D. Yeah, proud of my D I am. That was a well earned D.
Other classes are going well. I'm bored out of my mind in most of them so I just end up doing homework for other classes in them and randomly answering questions when the lecture hall gets quiet. Sudoku is also addicting. I think doing those might help me in some of my CS classes. Gets teh mind working well. Well anyway, this semester should go really well. I'm going to try for the 4.0 this semester. I need to get the GPA up (and get off academic probation due to last semester) and get some scholarships to help pay for school. Mom's hurting in the bank area. I need to help her out. I really need a job too. I'm sure that a job would really help me stay focused in school. I think I'd feel a lot less inclined to not do anything if I knew I had a limited time to do it. Oh well, we'll see.
And on a final note, I'm not with my g/f anymore. We split, mostly my fault. It's technically a "break" but I dunno how long it's gonna last. Long story short, I was doing things to hurt her yet I really do care about her and I just felt that I shouldn't be with her right now if all I'm going to do is hurt her (and yes, she forgave me everytime I did it. She doesn't want to be apart from me. She feels I'm the best she'll ever have ::cries:
. Being three hours away is hard. Long distance relationships suck. Things were great when we were in the same location, but it's just not the same (of course) being 3 hrs away. Oh well. Life goes on. We'll live. I'm sure we'll get back together later.
Peace all. Take care.

I know it might not pay as much, but have you thought about work study?
