I got my grades this evening and apparently got a 2.6 GPA, which means I'm going back to college woooo. I was on academic probation (thanks, EVE Online) and needed to get my grades way up, and I did! So for everyone who is having troubles with their girlfriend, or their parents, or "only" got a B on their organic chem final, just remember that it could be worse!

I would have requested a perm ban from TL if my grades hadn't been above a 2.0, so... near miss, I guess.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! I'm so happy that I can relax this holiday.

"Oh hey, we didn't waste all that tuition, cool."

Fortunately, they pay like $3,000 per year due to the gobs of financial aid I get and summer work I do, so it's not too much of a burden on them.

I was in a similar situation this quarter as well. I was on AP then got basically disqualified from attending school. I got my last chance this quarter and got a 3.6 so I'm pretty stoked that I'm still going to school too!

My parents would not let me attend college with a 2.6. I would be going to community college until i got my associates degree and then they might consider letting me commute to a university.

That being said, i'm glad you get to keep going to college ^_^

Hey, thanks motbob! I've been having a pretty lousy semester myself (first final today: getting up now at 4:30 am with less than 4 hours to study for something I barely know at all) and your post was actually comforting in a small way.

Congratulations for your sake, too.

o.o

I normally lurk, but my father teaches there. I hope you didn't take one of his classes. From what I've heard he typically doesn't give great grades.

Also, does this mean that there are starcraft players in Crawfordsville that I haven't known about for my entire life?

edit: Additionally, congrats :D Wabash can be rough.

i hope you're learning about stuff you want to learn about. i went through the same thing your going through except a few times, largely because of lineage 2 and i hated being a business major. don't let this happen again and get your shit together, looks like your doing good now i hope you keep it up, it is not worth the time to mess around. once i switched to criminal justice i got all A's in my major courses and graduated earlier this month, but messing around in my first two years really messed things, i hope you can avoid this and looks like you are on the right path now.

stay focused and merry christmas/happy holidays to everyone
