Happy Girl

I go to UAB.

I failed two classes my freshman year and made a D in one.

I never had to study in high school. I made A's and B's without studying very much. I was excited about the whole "you never have to come to class in college" kind of college. Umm... I don't know who decided to tell me that, but I'd like to punch them in the eye. Because it is not true.
I decided that I could not go to my "easy" classes (dance) and I ended up failing it. I know that makes me sound really stupid to fail dance, but we rarely actually danced. If that had been the case, I could have passed easily, but I had to READ and WRITE! Two things I don't associate with a dance class. I also failed Western Civ. because I made a 65 on the first test, didn't show up for the second test, was absent or late a lot, and the professor just flat out told me that I wouldn't be able to bring my grade up at that point.

After looking at my current GPA and course plan, I would like to go back in time and kick myself square in the butt and these are the reasons why:

1) I'm having to repeat classes. I'm repeating Western Civ. right now and the lowest grade I've made is an 87. =]
2) My GPA was a 1.6 at the beginning of the 2008-2009 school year. At this current moment, it's a 2.0. And after this semester, it will be a 2.4. Have to have a 2.75 by Spring '10 to apply for nursing school in the Fall '10.
3) In a perfect world, if I continued to attend UAB, I would not have a degree until 2012.
4) I'm about to go take a final that I have not studied for because I've been spending every free minute to study for the classes I'm not doing good in and the classes that actually count toward my major, because
5) I took a lot of classes thinking I was going to do sociology and wasted a lot of credit hours and a lot of money.
6) And I have to take a summer class... and I don't like that.

BUTT KICK.

Because of all of this, I will be attending Wallace State Community College in the Fall.
