Back in the Burg

I'm back at school. :) Sorry about my angry post the other morning regarding my computer--I was super nervous about going back to VT and certainly didn't need my laptop shorting out on me. I got everything squared away though, so hopefully that's the end of my troubles for now. XD
For some reason, going back this year is much, much harder for me, despite the new dorm and having an awesome roommate. I suppose the novelty of moving in and getting text books and all that has officially worn off. There's no excitement, just anxiety and nervousness and sadness right now. It'll go away soon, but it sucks right now. XD My folks are still in town and my sister is sleeping over in my room tonight, so presently, I'm alright, but come morning, I know I'm going to be a wreck. My days have been punctuated with bouts of tears as of late, which is both embarrassing and inconvenient. Stephanie moved in a day early and was talking to my mom about saying goodbye to her family last night, and it was such a depressing story that it made me cry a bit at dinner. (Just a little. Like, a single tear.) XD
More than anything, I just hope I do well in my classes this year. I'm not that worried about living away from home, though I'll definitely be homesick. I'm most concerned about my classes and keeping my grades up. Last semester I tripped over the finish line. It's too embarrassing to even talk about. I had to drop Macro Economics in the end, I passed Accounting but not to the level required by the business school, I ruined my spectacular Java grade by missing the mark on the final project and bombing the exam, and my German grade was one point away from the next letter grade up. XP The only thing I felt like I did well in was Calculus, surprisingly. Anyways, I'm unofficially changing my major. My GPA is now too low to apply to an actual degree program, but that isn't stopping me from taking some of the lower level prerequisite classes. I'm studying Political Science, and if I like it enough, I can bump it into a Pre-Law degree.
Anyways, video games await. XD I'll post pictures when I get the room cleaned up and my stomach settles down. There aren't any butterflies down there--just worms. :/
Love,
Popo
