Okay...so once again I've said that I would stick to this but really haven't. It's not that I don't want to or anything, I swear! It's just...that well...my mind has been cluttered with so many things these past few weeks, if not months, I simply put this off. The first semester of college had its difficulties, but was definitely a breeze when compared to this semester!!! I thought that because I had taken 6 classes last semester and had passed them all with pretty awesome grades if I may say so myself, that I would be able to do it again! Ahhh young, naive me!
I wasn't counting on the fact that this semester I would be taking 4 upper division classes, along with 2 other classes. I didn't realize I would be studying for 3 tests on the same day while writing a research paper due that same day. And of course I failed to come to the obvious conclusion that it was not very smart to take all those classes while trying to master a completely new and foreign language. So of course my grade and learning has suffered tremendously in Japanese! :( Well in reality it has suffered in most of my classes. I am not talking D's or F's here, possibly not even C's. Still, even though I am not picky about grades as say some of my close friends, it still bothers me that I can't give my full attention to any class and have to constantly settle for doing just enough to pass and then move on to the next assignment!!!
Along with this comes stress! Ask anyone who truly knows me and they can tell you I don't really like stress. I don't like drama or fights and definitely not stress. I mean don't get me wrong, I don't mean that I like to lock myself in my room and sleep all day. I LOVE being busy, but doing things I love and things I am passionate about. I just don't see a real reason why I should be stressed all the time about classes and homework and lack of sleep!!!
In order to change this I have decided to only take four classes in the upcoming fall semester. It will be a big change but I think it will be a great one. More time to get a job, study properly, and get back into the things I truly love to do! :D The thought of it makes me sooooo happy!
Well at the moment I am on no sleep (once more!) and am literally fighting with my eyelids so they won't shut, so I will go off for a sweet nap!!! ^^
Live. Love. Laugh.
