So the semester is nearly complete for this Fall. I've got 3 classes left - 2 regular (probably studying) days and then the final exam on Tuesday, December 20th. I have an 85% going right now, which is a solid B-, I think. I did well enough on the first two tests that when the third was dropped, it actually bumped my grade up two percent, from an 83 to an 85. Anyway, just a week and a half left, and then it's Winter Break and then only 16 weeks left until GRADUATION! I'm so freaking excited to pass this class and get that much closer to probably being done with school forever. I say probably because depending on the type of full-time job, I may or may not go back for 2 more years if they pay/reimburse my tuition.
Now that I've gotten through that introduction for this post, onto what I really want to talk about. Over the past couple of months, or weeks at least, I've come to find that I like to freak out/stress over something I'm doing in a group that I'm not sure of and immediately start asking "Wait, what?" to get caught up again. For instance, a couple weeks ago, I was working on some homework in-class with a few classmates and near the end I was constantly saying "Wait, what?" because I didn't quite follow what they were writing down, but also because I wasn't just simply LOOKING for myself to find the equation they used or the numbers they got. One guy was even like, "Dude, look. Right here. Just look at the graph we've been using this whole time." It wasn't that exact dialogue, but you get the idea. He was right, though. I just needed to look at the same chart and the equation was just staring me in the face.
So that was one example. Another was when I was playing Garry's Mod with some high school friends and we were making our own cars from scratch. I kept asking my friend who's pretty knowledgeable about gmod (what we call it) a bunch of questions about my car that kept having issues, but I think I could've figured it out on my own had I just continued trial and erroring with it. I don't think he was too annoyed by it, but I did feel bad for constantly being like "Gaaaaah this isn't working... what the helllll." and stuff like that.
Those two instances are what have made me realize that I tend to freak out a little over stuff that isn't making sense the first time around or if I'm getting a little lost with something. It's not horrible, but is an aspect of myself I could work on, and will. Christmas break is just around the corner, so it's a good time to get that shit in order. I've got some significant New Year's resolutions for myself that I'm going to do my best in following through on, but I'll keep them to myself. The internet doesn't need to know everything. I've already got the whole going to the gym and working out thing under my belt. I just really hope there isn't a surge of new people after the holidays that have put "Get into shape." on their resolutions, that's really annoying. Then you're gonna have people in there using machines you use all the time that only work out a couple weeks and slowly taper off and go back to their dumb lives. I'm starting to relate more and more to that one picture of a gym on December 31st and then on January 1st, the former showing almost no one in the gym and the latter showing every treadmill taken up. It's funny, but annoying if that actually ends up happening. I don't work out until the evening usually, early afternoon on certain days, so hopefully that doesn't affect me too much.
That's all I've got for this post. Christmas is just about two weeks away! Whoop whoop!
