Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

Well, I'm back with an entry simply so I can enter something what seems like forever. Still alive and kicking (mostly kicking).

Last semester was pretty good, got out of the failing classes just in time. And I avoided checking to see if I was on Academic suspension for the whole summer, until I was almost physically forced by my gf to check my grades. I found that I had passed all but one of my classes (which I had dropped) and much to my relief I was able to continue with my stumbling road to education. However, I KNOW I should have failed this one class, but I seem to make an impression with my teachers, even though I'm reeeally lazy about school. So, much to my guilt, which I will never stop feeling it seems that my teacher pulled some strings to help me "get by" which is the only way it seems that I could have passed. I'm going to have to confront him someday and work up the courage to thank him without feeling like a total s**t. It seems I just can't accept gifts or compliments if I don't feel that I deserve them. So whenever this happens I feel like I should have done something to really earn them. Either way, I passed and worried the whole summer about my doomed GPA.

The summer came and went. I pretty much hung out as much as possible with friends trying to stay out of my family's way (Things have gone up and down with them since, but I'll explain later). I've been training for my 2nd degree black belt and now I'm test tomorrow actually!! I hope I pass my test, because my teacher's teacher is going to test me, and he's coming all the way down from NYC to do so. I'm not nervous that HE'S testing me, I just hope I remember all of my material (which I'm STILL fuzzy on). I guess I'll make an entry to tell how I do tommorrow. wink

Speaking of tommorrow: It's going to be busy, this whole weekend! stressed

1) As soon as I wake up tommorrow, I'm going to have to be at school at 9:00 am, for a review on how to write that essay I need for my test on Monday then
2) Celebrate my girlfriend's birthday (Which is today actually!! Happy Birthday, Sweetie!!! 4laugh ) at the Sushi Restaurant, Kenshin, that we all like,
3) THEN, test for my upcoming 2nd black belt test. Talk about busy!!! xp

Then the next day:

1) I'm going to go and help with a Martial Arts tournament from 7:30 am to 1:00 pm.
2) Then, I'm going to help Eric's family move in to their new home
3) Crash like a pile of bricks.

Sunday:

1) Crash some more
2) Maybe do some much needed homework, maybe.
3) Crash

So, life goes on and the wheel of fortune turns some more. I think its laughing at me. rofl
