Back To School
I've been pretty unsuccessful with trying to find a new template for this site. I can find millions for Diaryland but they are few and far between for blogger. I'm not familiar enough with blogger code to make my own yet so I might force Dusty to make me a new one. I just don't like how the dotted lines look with Firefox. They are all screwy and overlapping.
Tomorrow it's back to school and back to the familiar grind that I have been missing so much. I have one class a day monday-thursday along with one independent study course. I'm taking History of the American Woman, British Literature, and Financial Investment Analysis. (which is a complete bore since it is one of the classes I had last semester)
I was contemplating my college career today. It's pretty sad when the only semester that I am ready to be serious about my grades and classes is my last semester. I could have gotten all A's in each class if I just would have studied. I partied every single night, how could I have gotten good grades? I was a freaking lush pile. Sometimes I get so mad at myself when I think about it, but then again, it was the best time of my life. I just wish I would have controlled myself more and tried a bit harder in school. Granted, I have never gotten anything lower than a B in college, but I wish it would have been all A's because I know I'm fully capable.
Which makes me think about my high school grades. I was on the honor roll every single semester. Not once was my name not on the honor roll lists. The sad part? I PURPOSELY did bad on papers, quizes, and tests so that I wouldn't be the "straight A" kid. If only I wouldn't have done that, I would have had a 4.0 every single semester. I know that I'm smart enough and it makes me furious with myself.
So maybe this all means that I should go ahead and get my Masters and Ph.D. Why the hell not? I like school, I like classes, I like homework, and I like the challenge. I'm dreading going out into the "real world" to get a boring old Monday to Friday 9 to 5 job. I'll hate it.
Oh hot damn. I wish I knew what I wanted to do.
