I'm Coming Back!!!...

My desire to take control of my life again has finally come into play. School is no longer a factor for me, and here's why:

• My English grade went up from a 75 (term 1) to a 92 (term 2), averaging to an 84 for semester 1.
  
• My Pre-Calculus grade went from a 67 to a 81, averaging into a 74.
• AP Bio went went from a 79 to an 80, averaging into an 80.
• AP Government (History) stayed at a 77 for both terms, meaning I have a 77 for Semester 1.
• Latin went from an 81 to an 82, averaging into an 82.
• AP Art grade went from a 73 to an 87, averaging into an 80 (not included in GPA).
• Senior Seminar went down, but by only one point, 95 to 94. At least it's a 95 for Semester 1 (not included in GPA either).

All in all, my GPA went from a 2.2 to a 3.3, rounding roughly to a 2.8 (I ranked at no. 17 out of 124 students for the first semester).

So what does this mean? I'm at a "I can do better but I'm content with where I'm at" level, and there shouldn't be a reason why I shouldn't be. I wasn't on track last term, and I paid for it. I made sure I did better this term to "even" everything out. I still felt that I could have done better, however.

The good news is that I can return to my normal life. I just have to take control of what needs to get done first, and what can be put on hold for later. But the even good news is that it warrants a return for skateboarding. When? I'm not revealing yet until...02/13/2009! Not far away at all!
