If I did my calculations correctly, I’m pretty much maxed on my units. When I finish all my upper division courses for Biology & its related units, and Philosophy, I’m left with 36 units to play with (plus 2 breath courses left to take). I can’t take summer school my junior2senior summer anymore, even though I wasn’t sure I was even going to anyways, but at least now I know for sure I can’t. Otherwise I’d be graduating early.
Fuck. This is pretty bittersweet for me.
Pros:
1) At least I know I’m graduating in 4 years.
2) At least I was able to stay on track unlike the many students at UCR.
3) I was able to stay on top of my game as a CNAS Major, AND decide to have a minor in something I like.
4) I’m able to take just 3 courses every quarter my fourth year, on anything I want.
5) I’m just on top of my game, and I LOVE IT.
Cons:
1) My GPA isn’t where I want it to be, and I obviously don’t have much time (or units) to raise it up.
2) I can’t, nor would I want to, fail another class again or else I can say goodbye to 4 precious units.
3) As nice as it may sound to graduate on time, or even early if I wanted to, this is going to be a very hard 2 years left. I’m going to need to put a lot of my energy, time and focus to be where I’ve always wanted to be at the end of my 2 years left.
I’m pretty scared/nervous/anxious/excited/nauseous at the moment thinking about all of this.
And I don’t know if I’m happy or not because medical school isn’t going to accept me for the fact that I graduated in the right amount of time. What if my GPA never raises. What if I stay where I’m at right now. What if I don’t ever get into medical school. What if, what if, what if.
