I know. It's been a while. I'm sorry. I've just had a lot to deal with the past month or so.
I got into a car accident on April 17th. It wasn't serious, all the people involved weren't injured, just sore the next day, but the car that I was driving got totalled. We had to buy a new family car before my mom left for Los Angeles in a few days, so that was very stressful for my mom and for the rest of the family. I was in shock and cried for about three days straight...As a result of the accident, however, our family got into a major fight. Like, my dad walked to his semi-truck in the middle of the night kind of fight. And all of this happened on the eve of my final exams at university. It sucked. I guess we're all kind of over it now. It was my first accident ever, after having my license for about a year and a half, and I didn't think I would get into an accident. But I did. That's the worst, thinking that you'll "never" do something, but then you do that something...I don't even know what else to say about that.
Then finals rolled around. I thought I did ok. Until I got my final marks for my classes. I got 1 C+, 2 Cs, and a D. Not my best semester. Actually, my worst report card ever in the history of my report cards. My GPA also fell 1.3 points, so I was hysterical once again. A couple days after I found out my final marks, I got an email from my university, saying that I could be On Academic Probation (OAP) if I had another semester like this last one.
Even before the semester ended, I knew I wanted to take a break from school, whether it be a semester or a year. Right now, I'm planning on working this summer, and in the fall: not going to school until the spring, which is when I would like to go on a study-abroad trip with my friend. I'd have to fill out the application though, so I'll have to get on that soon.
Anyway. That's what's been up with me. Hopefully you appreciate me spilling my guts out to you, and maybe helping you realize that you might not have had it the worst.
Love.
