I have really got to get over not doing 100% on every single assignment because I find myself getting anxious and upset. I got a 9.5 out of 12 on something and I can't stop thinking about it--what I should have done differently, if the teacher is just being bias or overly critical, etc. It's a 80% on that assignment and in the grand scheme of things, it doesn't really matter that much. I still have a good shot at getting an A in the class and so what if I get a B? I mean, of course I want to shoot for always getting As and doing my best, but it's not the end of the world if it doesn't happen. My only thought now is that I'm trying to be a part of this honors fraternity and I need to maintain a 3.5 GPA to be a part of it, but again, does it really matter that much? Essentially it's just something to put on my resume and I guess if it happens, it happens. But now I've put all of this pressure on myself and it's really just kind of silly. I do good work and always put my best effort forth, so I guess I should be happy with that. I just need to calm down about it. GPA does not matter in grad school, as long as I'm getting Bs. It could always be worse--I could be worrying about getting those Bs!
I am so completely over the snow. I'm over hearing about it and seeing pictures of it, I'm over walking through it and driving on top of it. I'm over having it fall from the sky. But alas, it's snowing right now and we're to get a few more inches today. I knew that having those snow days would be a pain in the ass. Catching up at work on Thursday was overwhelming, but we got it under control eventually. I had to reschedule my mock interview from Wednesday to Friday. Oh, and my class that was supposed to meet on Wednesday will now meet on a Saturday or Sunday instead. Awesome. I guess I shouldn't complain. It was nice to have a few extra days off and I literally did nothing of value during those days. Tomorrow is three months until graduation. I have officially applied for two positions--both of them are advising jobs at UNLV (one in Fine Arts and one in Engineering). I basically have no hope of an interview, but I thought I'd at least try. I'm qualif...
