What happened this semester? That is what I’ve been wondering all week. I just got in a little too far over my head and everything fell apart – myself included – and now I’m trying to piece things together before I get to finals week. I now know that I can’t work full time and expect to maintain any semblance of a decent GPA. I finally quit my job but it’s way too late to salvage this semester. So now I just have to hope I can get on top of things over summer ‘cause I know this isn’t getting any easier. This was my first semester at BYU and I thought I was ready to dive in but for some reason I wasn’t. I think the main thing was the fact that there were a lot of changes that really bothered me that I had a difficult time overlooking and the terrible part is that they’re all things that everyone here loves (I’m a real advocate for the whole separation of church and state thing and the prospect of a religion course influencing my grade really bothered me no matter how easy anyone says those classes are). Another issue I had was budgeting my time. I didn’t put enough in my planner and it cost me.
