Thankful Thursday

Friends, we've almost made it to the weekend! That makes me happy. Lately I have let myself become super stressed over summer school, and I've started complaining too much. I am turning over a new leaf now, and having a more positive attitude.

 

 

I say WAY too often how I wish I had either majored in something that would have landed me a job making good money right out of college, or gone straight to graduate school. If I had, I could have been making a higher paying salary all these years. I have GOT to stop saying that to myself, and just be grateful that I have the opportunity to go to school now. I wanted to go back to school for YEARS and couldn't find a way to. I need to just concentrate on being thankful that I am doing it now. It's probably an overused phrase, but it's true - better late than never.

It is hard - so hard - to be an adult student who works full time, but I think it's going to be worth it in the long run.

 

I also found out that I CAN make a C in my program. I misunderstood and thought I couldn't make a C at all. You can't get below a B in the first year (these are called the leveling courses), but you can make a C after. The rule is that you can't have more than 12 hours of a C. I am really sad and disappointed, because this will be my first ever C at Carolina, but it is going to be OK. I just don't really get statistics, and I've really struggled with Research Methods this summer as a result.

 

You know what else makes me happy? Plans to get a few new LP items for Fall! I keep hearing so much about the new collection. I think my 8/15 paycheck may be a time to go check it out.

 

 

Thanks for reading!

 

p.s. If there are any other adult students out there, I would love to hear how you keep your sanity! I will be starting my second year of this madness, and I'm always trying to figure out new ways to balance it all.
