I did it! I got my second 3.0 in a row since transferring universities! It's amazing to me - I have never been a consistent in the grade /academic department, so this is a huge accomplishment for me. It's interesting to me how I was at an academically "easier" school and did not achieve a 3.0, yet now I'm at a very challenging university getting better grades than I have ever had! I am trying to explore why this is. Maybe it's because I'm treated like an adult and as such, I put expectations on myself to do well - I don't have someone holding my hand, taking expectatons off of me. Or maybe it's because I continue with every passing year to value education and what doors I know it will continue to unlock for me. Now, please note, that I do not write this to boast or sound big-headed. In fact, I feel somewhat humbled by this outcome. I know that all along the Lord has not only been guiding me, but given me the strength to continue my studies, even through some really hard times. It's really a miracle I'm still even in school. But praise the Lord - here I am and feeling accomplished in an area I've always felt insecure in. It's been fun to challenge myself in this area of my life and see goals reached. I hope that I will at least have a solid 3.5 by the time I graduate next Spring. And I guess maybe for some people who are "A" people, this may seem minimal, but I gotta tell you, I'm stoked about my "B's!"
So, ya, Spring semester is officially over - and it flew! Summer classes start Monday, which unfortunately leaves me no summer break really. It's ok though - I'd rather stay busy right now. I'm taking 3 classes for the next 6 weeks and then it'll be internship time! Woot woot! Fall will be here before I know it. Time flies the older you get.
I think everyone needs to see 'Into the Wild.' Great movie - even greater soundtrack. It's the "ish."
So, that's kind of life right now - busy as ever, but I'm feeling accomplished - which is something I haven't quite felt in a while. It's good to be back in the game.
Thanks for listening.
Much love.

Hello,
"I noticed that upon reading my comment I added the word "was" in front of "movie" by accident and forgot the word "to" before halt. Here is an edited version:
