Another "okay" week.

The second week of school went, well, okay. Things are slowly progressing for me but I'm still not at the level I want to be. My GPA last term was a 2.2 and I'm really starting to feel the pressure as I enter the last week of the semester. I found out that I have to get at lease an 89 in English, Math, History, Science and Latin to get a 3.2 average for this term, which will round off to a 3.0 for the semester. I keep telling myself that I can pull myself together, but I don't know if I'm pushing myself to the standard I want to be at. NYU does not like slackers, and I don't want to be one. Why, during senior year, does everything have to be so difficult?

Yesterday I saw an old teacher of mine, who left to be a musician in Tennessee. I was really happy to see her because she is one of the high school teachers I have that made me like English now, and I don't blame her, considering that NYU's Tisch has writing programs, even in Film and TV.

BTW, I already got an acceptance letter from Marymount (yay!) and a non-acceptance letter from Purchase (boo). I'm glad I got into a college, and I handled not getting into Purchase well, considering that it wasn't a major choice of mine. But what if I don't get into NYU? I'm really scared. I have until April until I know if I'm going in or not but I don't think I can handle the news of not being admitted to the college of my dreams.

Week 2 of 2009's school year is over. Week 3, here I come! (P.S. Reason to be worried: finals week!!!)
