Out of Oblivion: Becoming a College Graduate

This is a continuation of my series of pulling posts from Xanga, my pre-blogging days.

[3/4 of this post was utterly boring so I cut it out] …I’m scared that I might make a C in Europe [history]…a 1000 level class in my major!  That’s why I’m stepping it up and studying 5x as much as I have for the last two tests…oh, yeah, I only studied a combined 3-4 hours on the last two tests combined.

…Sometime after I went back to sleep I had a crazy “nightmare.”  When I have scary dreams they are never about slashers or serial killers, but about not being able to get done what I am supposed to.  In this dream, I all of the sudden realized that I had done nothing for my ballet class all semester.  I had forgotten I even had it.  I had to try to find a way to get around having a big fat F in a class that was required so that I could still graduate next week.  This fear of failure continued to fill my thoughts until I was awake enough to realize that it was absolutely not true.  I mean, we don’t even have to have ballet to graduate. [No, I didn't take a ballet class, either.]

College is over! The exclamation point might indicate that I’m excited, but really I’m a little overwhelmed. It’s crazy how fast 4 YEARS can go by…it seems like yesterday when my parents dropped me off and I knew no one…now I’m having a hard time saying goodbye to the incredible friends that God has allowed me to know.

Well, I have to admit something that might make me look like a fool. I got my first C this semester. (that’s not the foolish part…it happens to the best of us) It’s just embarrassing what class I got the C in. HIST 1223. Yes, a 1000-level class, in my major, my last semester. O well. At least I only did 10 hours of work for the entire class. On a brighter note, I did as expected in my other classes and still ended up with a higher GPA than my dismal fall semester. [Now that my schooling career is over, I can tell you that that was my only C. Still embarrassed by what class it was in!]

  1. Lisa: I have those a lot when I’m under stress. It’s amazing how much the specifics change, but the not-being-able-to-get-________-done stays the same.

    LaNeshe: Yeah, it’s like training wheels for blogging.

  2. Isn’t it fun to go back and see what your wrote years ago! LOL about the non-existent ballet class. Dreams are funny things, huh.

    Thank you for visiting my blog for the Kansas tour today! I used to drive through Maize all the time in high school (uh, that was quite a while back, LOL!) when my friends and I would go to Wichita to eat out or go to the malls. Small world!

    Have an awesome and blessed day! =)
