I’ve always been able to get by without having to put much effort into worrying about the small details but this semester has been a wake up call of epic proportions. Because of my failure to be meticulous I’ve made huge mistakes on my homework that may very well cost me a passing grade in the class.

It’s devastating to me. I can honestly say I’ve never felt as low as I do now. It’s the knowing that you should be doing so much better than you are that just eats me up and I have no one to blame but myself.
