One Down, One To Go!

I have officially completed my second-to-last semester!  With a 3.25 GPA!  With a newborn berrykin and recovering from major abdominal surgery!  I totally rock! ;)

Gotta say, though, my cumulative 2.96 is possible the most frustrating number I've ever seen.  .04 away from a 3.0?  Seriously?!?  Bah!

I have a smattering of school-related stuff to do in January (like register to graduate - crazy!), and I don't really want to do it.  I don't want to deal with classes that didn't transfer right.  I don't want to have to meet with an advisor.  It's going to be a long, complicated dissertation on why I'm not done, why I have so many transcripts, why I've been to so many different schools.  Painful.  Plus, it means I have to be on campus, which at the moment is easier said than done.  I want to be lazy, skip all that, and just deal with the transcript stuff on my own.  But I will be a good girl and do it anyway.  At some point.  When the offices are open again.

I'm actually looking forward to next semester.  I dread it, too.  I don't want to be away from the Berrykin for all of every Tuesday and Thursday.  How do working moms cope with leaving their wee ones behind??  I'm so thankful I didn't have to do that very soon after he was born.  It would have messed up our bonding ability even more than it already was.  Plus, how do I deal with the breastfeeding angle?  This causes me great anxiety.  Oh, and to add insult, the movement initiative on campus that provided free yoga/meditation/zumba/etc. classes throughout the week, of which I was looking forward to taking advantage, shut down this month for lack of space.  Dang nabbit!  Just my luck.

Many challenges coming up.  Hoping many causes for excitement, too!  I just have to get through next month, and I should be happily set. :)
