This semester is kicking my butt! I'm a good student - solid g.p.a., minimum absences, prepared and organized... but this semester has been rough right out of the box. I am hoping that my g.p.a. won't nose-dive too badly, but man, I feel like I am on shaky ground in all but one class (thank, Jim, for not killing me in Interviewing, LOL).  I don't know why. Well, OK, the absences were because of the flu. But that doesn't explain why I wasn't prepared and organized in classes. Why I tended to doodle rather than take notes. Why I barely glanced at my text books.

 So I am facing next semester classes, and I am hoping that my current antipathy can be cured by a long summer. I'm taking Lit, which I should enjoy, since I love to read more than almost anything else. I am taking an Ethics class, which I find interesting. I am taking Nutrition, which I know I enjoy the instructor, so I'll be fine - a good instructor can hold my interest in any class, no matter how boring I find the material. And then I a taking something else, I don't remember what right off-hand. Yeah, I'm pretty apathetic!

 If I can survive and stay on task the next 2 weeks, I'll be fine (I hope). But man, 2 weeks has never looked so long before! I need a break. We are moving this summer, and renting out our current home, so I am not sure how much of a break I will actually have. Hopefully the move will go smoothly, we'll find great tenants, and everything will be perfect! Otherwise, I may come into next semester with my current level of burn-out, which doesn't bode well for those classes either.

 I have papers to write. I better get to it. Sigh.
