Although I am BEYOND thankful that I got accepted into my graduate program so early, it is making it hard to finish out my last semester strong. Unlike other students, I was a wild child in high school and never put forth any effort into school. I was excited when I got into OU and was provided a "graduation coach" that I had to meet with every 2 weeks to check and make sure I was using my planner and all of that fun stuff and I was enrolled in Gateway along with being advised to not take anymore than 12 hours. I think that coming in with people doubting my success motivated me to prove them wrong. As of now, I have only received 1 "B" my second semester, which I now know should've been fought. The one "B" I received was due to the fact that I was a cheerleader for OU and had to miss class for a national competition and was given a 0 for that class assignment as my professor would not accept my university letter of absence. If you can't tell, I am still very salty about that situation. But, apparently, the grade is set in stone after 3 semesters, so I realized this was an unfair situation a little too late. All of that being said, I have never received a graduation award before and my goal is to do so this year. I am trying to keep that goal in mind to motivate me to get my assignments done.
On a more exciting note, my boyfriend is on the OU Men's Gymnastics team and they had their first home meet this weekend. They had a rough first meet and were very nervous as this was their biggest meet (other than conference and NCAA's), but they CRUSHED it! They notched the top score in the country and continue their 85 meet winning streak as well as not losing at home in 11 years. I wish that more people would come and support those guys because there are several future olympians on the team and it is such an impressive sport to watch.
