i was a great student in high school who got sidetracked in her first year of university. i can thank a boy and a stupid computer game for that. when the boy was out of my life the game remained and i messed up a second year of university to the point where my average had dropped 15% from high school. finally, i got rid of the game and i haven't played in eight months (at least not at the same calibre). now i'm happier, the room mate situation is much improved, my family loves me more, my skin is clearer, i'm more rested and i go to class and learn. my grades are actually higher than they were in high school.

my first exam is on tuesday dec 9, and i have a crap load of work to do before then:

- education essay on differentiated instruction
- physical geography final project
- resubmission of a mark-recapture lab for ecology
- a report on the effect of nitrogen on harvard forest
- a molecular biology assignment

and the good news is it's all done, because i am the master of time management and now the only thing i have to do is study. yes that's right, i've overcome the odds and officially kicked school in the ass. *posted by danes at 8:39 PM -
