today signifies the first day of the last week of classes. after that i will also have one week of finals. i am not quite comprehending that this is really coming to an end.
right now it is at least mathematically possible that i could get a 4.0 -- but i'm not betting on that, necessarily. i'm sincerely hoping for a 3.83, and there is always a possibility of 3.66 so we'll just have to wait and see what i can pull out here at the end.
i have an exam in my english class this evening. i have plenty of things to work on over the weekend, so i'm hoping the weekend weather is nice so i can sit outside on the deck, drink coffee and smoke cigarettes, and attempt to see if i can pull a 4.0 out of myself.
i also plan to ponder the whole "what comes next" idea... after i finish with the studying my ass off part.
it'll be good to have a gpa to back up all the talking about the how well i think i'll do. i could be eligible for hope in the fall -- which would be excellent. i could be recognized by the university for my accomplishments. i could talk about school and walk across campus even more confidently than i do now.
i have already registered for summer. i will be taking 3 classes, as i didn't think i would want to try to manage more, especially having savannah home over the summer. after the summer, i will have knocked out all of the general education classes from the rest of my undergraduate career, and will be able to concentrate almost entirely on political science.
i have already picked classes for the fall, but i don't get to register for those until the middle of june. i have a new advisor, who i hope to meet with at the beginning of the summer session, to check with her about my class selections for the fall. i think my advisor is great, and i'm looking forward to talking to her.
so, i'm trying to relax and be mellow. i'm trying not to work myself up, as i seem to like to do for some things. i've done well, and if i do the same things i will continue to do well.
i'm off to put my nose back into the books, and i promise to resurface when i have something good to share.
