Finals and Summer

so how did i do in school? here's how my final grades broke down.

Police Services-A
Critical Issues in Criminal Justice-A
Approaches to Literature- A
Criminal Investigations- C

i was kind of upset about the C, i didn't understand how i got that low of a grade since i had a B+ at mid terms. i guess he said that my final wasn't very strong which was stupid because he had us do it through email over the course of five days. he was pretty vague with the directions as well but oh well i guess. i still got a 3.5. GPA overall and i made the Dean's List, so i'll take that. summer has been kind of hectic with the same usual drama and crap at this house, what with dad putting his hands on me resulting in my brother and i getting taken thrown out by the cops at my father's request. i was looking for somewhere else to stay for the rest of the summer but it's not going that well. school said the policy says i can't stay there even if i pay because i'm not taking a summer course so i can either get an apartment until august which is just stupid, or i can avoid here as much as possible and try to stick it out until i go back to school. i've been really sick this past week with Bronchitis which is never fun, but i don't remember ever having it this bad. i'm a lot better today but the rest of the week i haven't been able to breathe, my inhalers weren't doing anything, i couldn't stop coughing, i'm extremely sore because i've pulled muschles in my sides, ribs, and the front of me and my back from all the coughing. i was coughing to the point of throwing up never fun. however i've had the meds in me for a few days now and i'm feeling better. i've been wanting to read latley but i either don't have the time or my eyes are sore from being sick so i just can't, but hopefully i'll get to pick the books up again soon. one of my friends was like "um, school's out for the summer, f*** the books" lol and i was like "well that was because i HAD to read, this is for enjoyment." lol i guess some people just don't understand why a person would read for fun. my brother finally got a job, he's working at Burger King, so that's good for him. Now he'll have some money and won't have to throw himself to the mercy of my "parents" and beg for money when he needs something. i usually help him out when i can, but its still good for him anyway. my sister should be here from Italy in a few weeks so i'm pretty excited about that too, i can't wait to see her. i'm still single and while sometimes its cool, it gets pretty old pretty fast. you never know though, maybe i'll meet someone soon. almost everyone i know is going to be gone this semester at school. most of my friends graduated or are gone, and my brother won't be there either, i don't know what i'm going to do i don't usally like to put myself out there that much to make new friends since they all leave anyway, and i'm not thrilled about probably getting a room mate. But maybe i'll make good friends with the roomie like my first one, or maybe i'll luck out and she'll be single and gay lol. fat chance, but i can dream anyway that's what has been going on with me lately, hope to hear from some of you all soon!

Great job with hitting the dean's list! Sorry you haven't been feeling well, but hopefully now that you've got some effective medication you'll start to get better. Hope the "home" hunting goes well. When does the next semester start? As for your friends not being there, that's tough, but the one thing I liked about college was the opportunity to meet new people and start new friendships. I get that you're not the biggest social butterfly when it comes to strangers, and believe me, neither was I! But I found that I could reinvent myself with new people- be the person I wanted to be, rather than the person all the people who knew me before to be. That's part of the reason I left Michigan where I grew up to go to school in Houston- no one knew me, so none of my past followed me unless I wanted it to. Not that I had anything to truly be ashamed of at that point, but as someone who was constantly pushed to achieve in every aspect in life, leaving the pressure of expectations behind a little was a blessing. Of course I had my own expectations, and that's why I finally gave up on school (I'm an all or nothing kind of girl, and "all" was just too big a mountain to climb then). But I made so many great friends, and had the best time socially of my life, and I look back on that as one of the most positive times in my life in spite of the fact that I left school and have actually lost contact with everyone (it's been almost 20 years, after all). It's still given me so many memories I can last a lifetime with them. Hope you can have the same positive experience next semester, but if not, you'll still do what I didn't, and that's to get your degree and from there get a good job in your field- no doubts, I know you can do it! After all, you never thought you'd get this far! Keep it going, and make me (and Xena, lol) proud!

lol thank you as always for the support and encouragement my friend, that always makes me feel better. i won't let xena down! :p i am timid of strangers and sometimes its hard for me to make new friends, because they always seem to leave me sooner or later, so i have this sort of a bit of a wall when it comes to letting new people in. however, most people seem to like my personality, so i'm sure i might at least meet a couple new people that wouldn't mind being friends. i'm sorry you never got to make it through school all the way, but you seem to be happy doing what you do and living your life, and you still get to do things that you want to do, so i wouldn't be able to complain lol. as long as you are happy then nothing else matters. the semester starts back up in the middle of august. i haven't really got the "home" situation figured out yet, but i keep getting told to get out and everything, so perhaps i'm not going to be the one to HAVE to figure it out, eventually lol. anyway glad to hear from you again, keep in touch!
