Jenna's House of Idiosyncrasies Version 10.0 [Focus.]

Just When You Thought Things Couldn't Suck Any More...

November 22, 2002 - 1:57pm

So I just finished my advising appointment (don't even start on me about not getting advised until the week before Thanksgiving) and found out something that has made me cuss in my head about everything for the last half-hour.

I'm transferring the Franklin College next semester from University Studies. I need two sciences: a biological one and a physical one. I did not know this, so currently I have two physical sciences, and have to take yet another science next semester.

But oh, it gets so much better.

My second science, the one I don't need, is one I am taking right now, Marine Enviroment, and I'm going to either come close to failing it or actually fail it due to some sleeping through a test on my part and a general non-understanding of the material at large. So, this class, that I don't need to graduate or transfer or for anything is basically going to completely trash my GPA and make the next year be even a even bigger struggle to catch up than the last one. And I didn't even need it!

The mistake is basically me thinking that science is science is science and that all four hour labortory courses are essentially the same.

See, the worst thing is, this is my fault.

In my head I'm chanting "I'm a fuck-up, I'm a fuck-up, I'm a fuck-up..." but it my heart I'm trying my damndest not to believe it.

Hopefully I'm be better by tomorrow. Afterall, it does no good not to bitch about everything incessantly. This just has completely ruined my Friday afternoon.

Jenna, I don't know exactly how UGA works but why don't you drop the class. Will it still hurt your GPA with a W? And you're not a fuck up. Taking the wrong classes and not knowing your supposed to take others happen. I didn't know that I needed another political science class before I graduate with my AA. So now I have to take 5 3 hour classes instead of just 4. But hey shit happens.
