Good News & Bad News

Well, in short, this past semester in school completely sucked for me. It was my worst ever. When I reflect on it, it was all my fault. I let everything distract me from what I needed to do. I was too engrossed in this other, lazy, all play, minimum work world that I had someone gotten sucked into... and that's just not me!

I'm on adacemic probation for this next semester, but just barely. There's a chance that if my retroactive course withdrawl gets approved, that I won't be on probation... but I'm not banking on that.

The real test will be for my friends this coming semester. I will NOT have time to fool around and do whatever I want. I shouldn't have been doing that this semester. I let outside influences get me off my game. Only time will tell if some friendships are true... I'm not gonna be afraid to let people go if they keep pulling me down--albeit unintentionally.

The good news is that I decided to upgrade my desktop computer and it's simply awesome right now. It's amazing how much of a difference $600 can make. I was gonna get my gecko and supplies but (and herein lies the bad news) I chose not to quite yet. Why? Because my father doesn't want me to have one (which... well, I don't care--I'm getting one anyway and my mom is fine with it). I don't want to piss him off even more. He's already mad enough at my grades. So I'm not going to put any wood in that fire. lol

But I am saving up my money again to get my gecko supplies. I'll most likely get at least the cage first and periodically buy things so that by the time my grades come in the summer, I'll be ready to get the gecko itself. :D

So yeah... I have mixed feelings right now. But I'm not stressing about the "bad" news and focusing on what I have to do to keep my shit straight and not be swayed off of my path.

Life happens!!!!!!!! don't stress over it. The good news is you did your homework for the leopard geckos and you have your list made of what you need.

Now when you get the time to care for them and get your grades back up you will be ready. Good Luck.

Yeah, it's ok to get off track...it really is. You just have to be proud of yourself for realizing what you have to do to stay on the right track. Friends come and go, but your family and your life lasts.

Good Luck with school next year! Drop us a PM if you need any help, we may be able to help you!
