Today I lose more then I gain

Today I spent the day in Key Largo with the family. I helped my nephew with his powerpoint presentation, my cousion with his computer issues, and my father with his YouTube downloading issues. What did I NOT do? Work on either of my two term papers that will determine my grade for the semester. What does this mean? This mean several all-nighters over the next few days. Because of this weekend only work schedule it won’t be too bad. Jayden did not have school today but he will Thurs and friday. Then Friday night whe I go to work, he will be babysitting his day late and dollar short daddy. I would get into i but I don’t want to ruin my day by even thinking of that jerk.

The truth is –  I am really freaking out about my grades this semester. I have to have a 3.0 overall and a 3.25 in my social work classes to join the honor society for social work. I am already on the Delta Epsilon Iota National Honor Society and Tau Sigma National Honor Society but the main one is Phi Alpha Honor Society which is striclty Social Work students and almost everyone who wants a schloarship can get one. RIght now I’m riding out on these student loans and a small grant. I’m not concerned about my social work classes. I have those clases on lock. I’m looking in the face of a solid B+ in my victimology class which applies to my woman studies degree, but this Spanish class isnt looking to good and it is 5 credits. It can make or break me. If I have to repeat this class it will set me back sooooo far and there is no way Phi Alpha will accept me with a failing grade. My gpa now i  solid 3.75 but this spanish class will drag it so fair down. Plus I already qualify for advance placement in the masters program so after my BA it will only take a additional 2 semesters for my masters. I am thinking about pursing a Phd but I’m not sure yet. At anyrate if I fail this spanish class I am in deep trouble.
