Freedom!
Hi!
Just writing a quick little entry to sum up the semester. I have now been done for about a week now, and it feels very good! I finished all of my papers, presentations, projects, etc. After my presentation Thursday night (which went well), it was shocking to realize I had actually completed the semester. I was in shock...but then it began to set in! After that, then begins the waiting period for grades. First came my Statistics grade-an A! I couldn't believe it! I just never thought I'd excel in that kind of class. A day or two later, an A in Criminalistics. I guess I did well on my presentation and paper! Then, the really great day, Thursday. Just checking to see if any more of my grades were up, and that they were. An A in Juvenile Justice and an A in Critical Victimology.
My jaw dropped when I saw the remainder of my grades. When I saw 4.0 (my GPA), I couldn't believe it! It had happened my first year of college, but not since then! My point here is not to brag, but to tell you that it's worth it. All of the reading, writing, papers, and projects...to have it all summed up in a nice little package as an A. I'm proud of myself! I worked really hard and the quality of my work did not suffer despite the workload. And I wanted to share my happiness in blog. :)
So I have completed a year of grad school, and am taking the summer off. Now I must search for something criminal justice related to do this summer, if possible. I am also beginning the search for an internship for the fall. But I have 4 months off from school!
P.S. My first book that I am reading-Lipstick Jungle. Nothing CJ related, or intelligent whatsoever. And I love it!! Reading magazines on the train is a great feeling also. And not going to class....that's pretty nice too.
So have a great summer...I'll occasionally be in touch with anything related to school or internships. Take care!
