Crashed
Two-thirds of my final grades are in and I got rocked. I knew my EE GPA would drop this semester; I just didn't realize it would drop so much. I guess I no longer need to specifically mention my EE GPA on my resumé. It was the first time that "good enough" simply wasn't good enough. I knew it, but didn't do anything about it. All that's left is a whole lot of coulda-woulda-shoulda's and one I-will: next semester, 4.0 or bust.
Burned
I burned out early in the semester and never recovered. I skimped on workouts when I shouldn't have. I bought games and played games when I shouldn't have. I stop designing and writing when I shouldn't have. I constantly started homework late worked through the night with other people when I shouldn't have. I was slamming my head against the wall all semester and couldn't stop. I worked stupid and learned stupid. I played to my weaknesses rather than my strengths. And only now am I seeing the results.
