"It is not the ctitic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Oh my grades...

~You'll seldom experience regret for anything that you've done. It is what you haven't done that will torment you. The message, therefore, is clear. Do it! Develop an appreciation for the present moment. Seize every second of your life and savor it. Value your present moments. Using them up in any self-defeating ways means you've lost them forever.

~Wayne Dyer

I know I'm supposed to be working on homework. Haha, especially considering the topic of this post! So, I was looking at my grades this semester-what with there only being three weeks left of class... Well, it's not looking so hot.

Let me just say, I was an honor roll student all the way through high school. And I took college level classes. But my grades have really gone down hill. I was put on probation for my New Century Scholarship last year and lost it-due to taking a semester off, not cuz of grades. I think I've lowered my standards. I've been kind of excited at my grades getting up to 79%-three of them now.

So I looked up a GPA calculator and typed in all my classes, credits, and grades... I am not even going to reveal on here how bad it is! It is pathetic. It truly is.
