Score for Perfect Attendance!

Well my aggressive plan of attending class paid off! I missed ZERO classes this past semester! And as a result, I finished with my best GPA yet! Woot! I'm way excited... It wasn't just attendance though, I also studied well and made sure to get enough sleep before the tests. It's not like I skipped much before, I think I missed two or three classes last semester, but still, I would miss little information that would show up on the final. In upper level classes, there is no direct penalty for not being in class, however, because so much information is covered in each lecture, it is critical to be there to get it. I knew from older students this would be my most difficult semester, so I made an action plan for success, which included perfect attendance.

So, now... an action plan for all that holiday shopping I haven't started?!?! Yeah, I better get on that.

Ahh... Finals!

On a cold winter evening,
After the turkey was eaten.
I sighed to myself,
I was feeling quite beaten.
Finals were approaching so fast.
And I'd hardly begun,
Not enough time in a day,
To get it all done.
I became quite frazzled,
By my mountain of work.
This being a student,
I don't see the perk!

Just when I thought,
That I'd never make it.
My mother reminded me,
It's just how you take it.
One task at a time,
List what to complete.
You'll do great I know,
It's not your defeat.

So I thanked my mom,
And pulled myself together,
I'll survive the finals,
Despite the cold weather.
