My semester ended well. Not quite as well as I’d hoped though. I only got a 3.4. As for my scholarship, I ended up having to submit an appeal and almost lost it. Luck seems to be with me though. Between my appeal letter, my grades spring semester and some confusion with the school not warning me that I was in danger of losing it, I have another year to bring my cumulative up to a 3.0. That should be more than enough time as long as long my grades keep going the way they have been.
I finished up my summer statistics class a few weeks ago. As a summer class, it had a different crowd and a different vibe. The information presented in the class was fairly limited by the time, as were the assignments. All in all, the class was pretty easy. It was nice to feel like the smart kid in class again. I got a 98 on the final, which, as my highest grade on a test so far in college, I’m fairly proud of.
I’m finishing up my summer by being lazier than ever. Working a little and sleeping a lot seems to be a relaxing combination. I’ve had some fun weekend trips this summer. I went to the beach and got miserably burnt. After peeling I was still left with a little tan, so the burn wasn’t all bad. Last weekend I went to Cedar Point, an amusement park, and got to ride some great roller coasters. I haven’t been there in at least 5 years and really enjoyed all the new roller coasters and some of the old. Despite one and two hour lines, I still had a lot of fun.
The dorms open in about two and a half weeks and I can’t wait to move in. I’m really looking forward to the apartment style dorms that I’m privileged to this year. More surprisingly, I’m excited for classes and once again being productive. As usual, my classes could be good or bad, but I’m definitely looking forward to getting started and finding out.
