So...got it finally. The big one thousand. I should be happy. 1k page views, birthday coming up in a week, Christmas just around the corner, school about to end.....

but I'm not.

Anyone ever tell you finals week sucks? Well it does. Its Monday night of finals week and I may of just blew getting a scholarship...again. Its a nice one too, a nice transfer scholarship with full tuition to a couple colleges of my choice. I guess I should explain.....

[start of boring college story]

A year and a half ago [fall 07] I started culinary classes at my college. I had a full tuition scholarship as long as I could keep a 2.5 GPA and full time student. Too bad I found out I get sick when cutting up meat and had to drop half the classes, loosing the scholarship with it. Spring 08, the next semester, I changed to work towards my AA degree. Having lost my scholarship and coming into my second semester of college with a 2.08 GPA, I was half a year behind and already on an uphill battle. However, I worked at it. I took the classes I needed to take and did the best I could. When the end of year one rolled around, I was back up to a 3.08 GPA. Fall 08, [this one] keeping on working. I took more classes and started to study more seriously because I found if I get my GPA up to a 3.25 I could transfer out and get another scholarship. I worked hard. Allllllll semester I did my best to get to the goal. Now finals is here and I may of just tripped at the finish line.

You see, before finals started I had five Bs and 2 As. Doing the math I found three of the Bs can be pulled up to As if I do good this last week. Test one today was English Comp 2. Writing class. I think I aced it. It should be pulled from B to A. Test two, History of Music....I fell on my face. The test consisted of 25 multiple choice questions and 4 pages of writing. The first half was easy, I know I aced that, but the writing...I'll be lucky if I made a 70% on this test. If thats the case, I just dropped music to a C and made the job of 3.25 that much harder. To top it off, the next three days have one test each. Tomorrow is Physical Science where if I make 100% on the test I make an A for the class, if I make a 99% I keep a B. Wednesday is History II, a 100 question test from hell and a written essay that I still need to do. If I make an A on the paper and at least a 70 on the test I can get an A. And final day is English Lit, a writing test that as long as I make a B on the paper I keep an A.

I know most of you are saying I'm over-reacting and still have good grades. Well...yeah...but to be on the edge of free school or more loans...and the difference is one stupid class...sure I still have respectable grades, but I don't have money. Just that one step up would really help the second problem. You know? To need 3.25 and end with 3.20 will suck. And with my luck, its possible.
