Always Room for Improvement

Most of the stress is over.... but now there is other stress piling on for the rest of the semester, and for the up coming spring semester. I only had three midterms out of five of my classes. I didn't do as well as I hoped but my grades are what was normal for me and what I should have expected. On banner, I only have three of my grades posted so far and they are three C+'s and a B+. For the first two months of school I guess I can deal with those grades but surprisingly with the type of person I am, I did have higher standards for myself and thought that I was actually on the right track and doing better than normal. I don't think my grades reflect my work, and I felt the same way all throughout high school. I always did what I had to do, on time and filled all the criteria. I know college is drastically different than high school, but you always carry your habits from one to another. Its obvious that some things weren't working in high school, so I should change them now, before I get to comfortable and mess up because thats what I don't want to do! Getting these grades now makes me nervous because I have to keep a 3.0 GPA and a B average in order to get into the program of what I want to major in. I do believe now though that the first semester is almost over, I'm used to the way college is, and how all my classes will work. So as all my old teachers and my parents would tell me, theres always room for improvement. I can still change my grades and they can get better. I think if I keep doing what I'm doing now with 10x more effort, then I will be ok. and whatever happens happens because only I can control my future.
