get a degree

I got an A in the computer class (which I expected) AND an A in my photography class. I wasn’t at all sure what I’d get there and talked myself into being OK if it turned out to be a B.

So my GPA creeps back up again. I’m still thoroughly pissed off about the C from that drawing class because it tanked the 4.0 GPA I had…and they never gave me any indication that my grade would be THAT LOW (I always got A’s in their classes and my work wasn’t any worse in the drawing class than the other classes). Mostly what makes me bitter is the fact that I’m not a C student! (And my transcript bears that out…the C was an anomoly.)

But I’m learning to let go of that anger. Really I am.

I think I’ll celebrate my A’s by ingesting an insane amount of Gummy Bears…

I used my last bout of unemployment (laid off from the dot-com arm of a large publishing company…such a cliche!) to go back to school and work toward that degree that’s been so very elusive. I’ve now got all the transfer credits I need. But I’m up in the air (again) regarding the major. And where I’ll transfer to. Plus, it’s damn hard not having much in the way of support, be it financial, stuff-around-the-house or moral. And a job where I’m continually harassed about my school/study schedule, even though I made it clear (and they said they were OK with) the fact that I’m a student and would need a school-compatable schedule.

Slowly, but surely, I’m getting there. I’m just in a bad patch right now…
