Taking a Break

I'm so taking next semester off. My brain is about to roll out of my head and refuse to send a forwarding address. Normally, I do so well in my classes (even distance learning) and my GPA is at 3.7 or something.

But this semester I've been so burned out, I know my classes have suffered. I'm looking at a B in Biology and a C in English Comp. The C in English, I completely expected because I suck at essays. But a B in Biology? WTF? No. Even a high B is unacceptable. That's my inner-perfectionist speaking.

So, next semester I'll be concentrating on finishing the rough draft of my first book (yay!), and studying for my math placement tests. *shiver* Math = evil. I'm sure there's an equation for that somewhere.

I've left a community volunteer position which was draining my soul. I love helping other people, but not when they whine about the work I've done to HELP them. I know giving should be done selflessly, but I'm not that damn selfless yet. I'm probably not gonna be a buddha in this lifetime.

Am I still a little angry? Yeah. I'll get over it soon though. Besides, I have my craft/knitting group and I'm hoping that no inner-group politics will be started because of yarn (that would be the stupidest thing ever). :)

I've finished one present for my nieces, it's soooooo cute! Oh my god. I almost don't want to give it away. But (pout) I'll do it for love.
