two hundredths of a point away from academic dismissal

According to my dean, that's how close I was to being sent
home due to my poor grades last semester. Isn't that amazing?
This may sound weird, but I think that destiny is trying to
tell me something. Maybe that I do belong at this college and
that I deserve to be here and that it is time for me to
finally get my head in the game. I've struggled with numerous
things since I first got here, but for some reason, right now
I feel like I can honestly get straight A's next semester. I'm
not stupid, I never have been and I think it is time for me to
finally show this school that they did not make a mistake in
accepting me. I don't feel like I am too screwed for graduate
school as of yet, I have messed up the first three semesters
of college, but this semester I'm going to do it right and I
am going to shine in every aspect. For some reason, since I
got here, I have not been myself and I am tired of that
bullshit. This is going to be my semester! Anyway, in terms of
being more pro-active and staying away from distractions, my
dean suggested something. She said that maybe I should think
of school as a 9-5 job or 10-6 based on my schedule. So
basically this entails me taking all my belongings with me in
the morning and not coming back until after dinner. So
spending my days in the library or in class. I think that this
idea is brilliant. The fact of the matter is, I just can't
focus in my room and this has been holding me back, so I am
going to tackle this head on with this solution. So by working
from 10-6, I can ensure that the bulk of my work will be done
properly. I also figure I can devote an additional 90 minutes
to doing some more work once I get back in the evening. Anyway
all in all I am looking forward to the semester.
