| | I was so busy this holiday season that I didn't take the time to think about the year just past. Now, I suppose, it's too late. Onwards to 2007! Even without careful reflection, I feel confident in saying that perhaps it will be a good one.
Maybe this is just euphoria because I got my grades in the mail. They were not fantastic, but the best I've done yet. And I know I don't study enough as it is, so hopefully this will not result in a renewed relaxation of my already loose academic standards.
I've said this so many times that it's trite, but I'm tired of hearing the aphorism "It's not the grade you get but what you learn in the class that matters." This is not the case for those of us who aspire to postgraduate degrees. It is the grade. Or, more specifically, the GPA. And I'm afraid that a 3.3 won't do it.
Actually, I sometimes wonder if studying is really the most important thing at school. Maybe growing up is the most important thing. But I suppose studying can be a means to that end.
Yeah, it's going to be a good year.
