Making things happen.

Hello again everyone!

Spring break is over. It was a nice little vacation even though I didn't actually go anywhere. I wasn't ready to start back today, but alas, I caught another little break. My Spanish class was cancelled today. This gave me the opportunity to do some research (and grab a Vitamin Water and Kashi bar) and figure out how to change my major. All I had to do was email the undergraduate coordinator for the psychology department and go from there. So I just emailed him and I'm currently waiting to hear back.

I sure hope this works. I hope I haven't ruined my GPA enough to not be able to change majors. I hope I haven't really screwed myself over as far as my college education goes. I know my parents would flip out if they knew how badly I'm doing in school. I mean it could be worse, but this isn't like me at all. But y'know, when you live 45 minutes away from your school, and your whole life is in a completely different city, it's easy to get behind, to lose interest, to not care. And don't get me wrong, I care. I just have trouble getting motivated. But maybe this major change thing will help out a lot. Maybe if I can start taking class I really enjoy - like the upper level psych classes, maybe some more English courses - I can start finding the motivation to succeed.

I have a feeling things are going to get better though. John will be going to Coastal in the fall. I not looking forward to him being gone AT ALL, but in a way it will eliminate one of my biggest distractions (yes babe, you are a distraction, but a damn good one :] ). So maybe then I can really focus on school and not spend so much time in Greenville. Jamie is also an issue - not the bad kind, she's just my best friend and like John, she's a good distraction. But it's okay. When John leaves, I'll probably have a set schedule and I'll just make certain times I can hang out with her and the rest of the time I'm going to devote to school. I feel confident about this. I can do this.

I'm so glad there's only like 5 more weeks of school. This first year at Clemson was not at all what I wanted it to be, but it's coming to an end and I feel like I'm getting the opportunity to make changes and better myself. I'm looking forward to it.

So here we go! Now I'm off to chemistry. Wish me luck with this psychology thing. Later!
