Returning to Texas State

   I'm finally back at school after two weeks. Jumping back into my classes has been very difficult for me. I had been keeping up with my online assignments and tests. I missed tests and quizzes. Fortunately, my teachers have been very understanding. I started the semester with the expectations of getting an A in all my classes. Now I am fighting to pass all of my classes.
   I am only concerned with passing my biology class. My other classes, I believe I can manage. My main stress is that I am aiming to be an RA next year. The requirements to be an RA is to have a GPA of 2.5 each semester of the applying year. Unfortunately, if I fail or even get a D in my biology class, I will not meet those standards. Maybe I'm not meant to RA. I believe everything happens for a reason. The only reason I am slightly content is that I didn't just blow off my class and get a bad grade. I was sick. It's amazing how many stories I've begun to hear of others that had to drop out a semester or fail classes due to Mono. It does make me feel better. It makes me feel like I'm not a complete failure.
   I am happy to say I have come back more motivated than I've been all semester. I went to the Library last night, by myself too. That is big news news for me. I have been really studying intensely. I got a 95 on my make up Political Science Exam. That was encouraging. I did turn around however, and fail a psychology exam: discouraging. I am really ready to buckle down now though. Let's see if I can pull it off!
