What a way to start a blog...>.>

This is not what I wanted to start my blog with, but it must be vented. Who reads this anyway? Helloooo online diary...

When I was at CCC, my grades were admirable enough to get me a tutoring position and a spot in the honor society (and on the honor roll). Ok, I admit I got a little slack near the end, but I still managed well enough and my parents were proud. My question is "What the freak-toast HAPPENED?". Now that I am at FHSU, I have no job and my mid-term grades...unmentionable. >.< If only I could reset the semester...I would be sure to get to all my classes, health permitting, and keep up with the work. I suppose I haven't because I've been working on my darling niece's baby blanket, the one thing I can be proud of accomplishing. My other downfall? Anime. And manga...Aaand fan fiction. Have I no restraint? Perhaps a little, but it doesn't come CLOSE to being enough to resist those lovely things.

I learned in my Advance General Psychology class that when you apply to a graduate program, they tend to pay most attention to the most recent 60 hours. What? But my FIRST 60 hours were MUCH better! Ok, so it's still early and there's time to redeem myself. Oh, and get this, there's a little thing called the GRE that I have to take. It's like the ACTs or SATs. Ugh. I doubt I'm ready to do that yet. Who knows? Maybe after I graduate (assuming a miracle happens and I get my butt in gear to focus) I'll take some time off to work, preparing for that blasted exam. (random: I'm gonna guess that it stands for Graduate R-something Exam...Looked it up. Graduate Record Examination. Eh, close enough)

SHOULD I even try to get my Master's? Am I capable of conquering such a challenge? Is it even worth it? Hays offers School and Clinical Psychology graduate programs, which is good considering those are what I'm trying to decide between. But I also need a back up plan. Where do I go if I'm rejected here?

Alright, alright, I'm getting ahead of myself. First order of business: Get caught up in my too neglected work and stop getting so distracted by my nurtured addiction...s. I'll let ya know how that goes. *salutes*

So did you just admit to skipping class to make a gift for your niece? Because that is not something I would endorse at all.
