Had to raise my GPA to above 5.5 to graduate with a distinction. My GPA was 5.25, I got it to just over 5.5 (5.542) so I achieved my goal :D

How I did it: Work in tutorials, listen in lectures and reap the rewards of not having to do as much work at home as your fellow peers!Network, the more people you know, the more you'll know, everyone has particular areas they excel at and together you can all help each other out. Don't be afraid to ask others, especially your fellow peers, after all, they are studying the same thing as you and probably have similar questions! Read how I did it…
It mightn’t be RoR, but I’m currently writing a web service using Ruby for a uni assignment.
Ruby is really fun to learn, so I’m keen to get stuck back into this goal as soon as uni is done (a month!)
good thing I didn’t cross this off, I haven’t been to the gym in about 2 months :(
Although, I have joined a touch football team and that’s some good exercise.
I’ll wait till I’m playing sport once a week and gymming twice a week for a month before I cross this out!
