Brand new semester

well... tomorrow's a brand new start. I have all new
courses and I'm happy the last one is over. I'm still kind
of antsy about the final marks from my exams last term. I
have 3 of them out of 5 so far. Its enough to drive me
nutsy crazy. I'm a strong believer in not doing
homework... LOL... its a wonder I'm even still in school.

I've never been studious. Okay, that's a slight lie. I
was studious and all about the marks up until sixth grade.
After that it was all downhill. I got the marks without
trying. If I could get great marks without lifting a
finger, then why would I do more work than what's required?

Anyway, I went through high school with the same mentality
and it worked until I got to grade 11. Yeah, that was the
year I passed advanced math by 4%, and got 60s in both
biology and chemistry. In grade 12 (after a summer term
upgrading my math mark) I tried grade 12 math and realized
that I would fail the course. That's when the guidance
coucellors decided to screw me over and not let me transfer
out of the course so I could maintain a high enough average
to graduate with honours. Those bastards.

Anyhoo, here I am in my first year of university. I
finally get to do something that I enjoy, even if it IS
school. I've never had a felling of accomplishment in
anything involved in school unless it was an extra-
curricular activity. I feel like I'm finally doing
something worthwhile with my time.

I'm looking forward to the next semester. I'll be busy as
folk for the first month or so, but at least I'll be
enjoying myself. Hurrah for the tech crew... where would
they be without me?.. LOL.. ^_~
