May Madness (pt 2?)

See, I can't even remember if I had labeled another blog like this. Huh. Not a problem.

Anyway, the school year comes to another close here at Southern Oregon University for many of us who cannot afford the summer classes. But for the closing of the academic year comes many complications, including (but not limited to):

Finals
Opening of plays/strike
work schedules
finding more adequate jobs, and the eternal favorite
finding a house/apartment to stay in for the next few years.

Roommate situation has been fluctuating like crazy over here. Some people are willing to share an apartment with me, and others have complications of their own. For sure, me and another college buddy are all prepared to move into somewhere different. Now we just have to find the right place...

In other news, I had to drop a class (unfortunately, Environmental Studies) because I had failed the midterm, which accounted for 35% of the final grade. I will admit it: I screwed up. I didn't put as much effort into reading the materials or studying the necessary items, that doesn't scare me. What does scare me is the withdrawal from this class has shown me how lenient I have become with my academics. And I am not okay with that. So now I'm setting up goals for myself next year to put my classes expectations before my own needs. That's how it has been before, and that's how it should be now.

Other than those pieces of excitement it's been planning for next year and figuring out my current situation via finances, residency, academics, etc. I am sure a kitty will make up for all of these worries, though. Oh, and family and friends always help, too :) love you guys!

So I hope y'all are having a great Friday and I will come by next Friday to report my current position! Later~
