What am I happy with?

If someone to ask me what I'm happy with, I would answer that with so many different reasons. I'm happy that I got to see my family once before the semester was over. I'm happy that I have great friends that I got to come back to. I'm happy that I actually have a good roommate, as opposed to the people who always complain about theirs. I'm happy that this semester is almost over so I can go home for Christmas, and come back and start taking classes I like AND not having to wake up at 8 a.m. every single day. But what I'm most happy about is that I was able to pull myself up from literally failing a class.

I wasn't doing very well in my Race and Ethnicity class. I had an F. A failing grade. Some people (those who don't really care) wouldn't see it as a really big deal. It was a huge deal to me. Not only was I worried that I wouldn't get the history credit or the Gordon Rule credit, I was definitely concerned about how it would affect my GPA. Because I have Bright Future's that was a serious issue. I didn't really know what to do but I knew that I still did a paper that I didn't get a grade for. When I got it back, I was relieved and ecstatic that it brought my grade up to a D. I really shouldn't be happy with a D but it was better than an F and I still had opportunities to bring it up to at least a C-. Now, with my last paper turned in, I feel confident that I can bring my grade up to maybe a B by the final because this was the one paper I actually put a lot of effort into after having to basically rewrite most of it at about 11:00 p.m. All I know is I have to study an immense amount for it but I'm just happy that I have a much greater chance of getting the credits for that class and keeping my Bright Future's. As long as a person is motivated to do something, they can do anything. I was definitely motivated to bring my grade up and I was able to succeed. This is why I'm happier than I've ever been, at least this semester. Next semester: I'm taking bowling. Now, that should be an interesting class.
