Well after taking a year long break from the site, I decided to come back to what I remember loving; the banana. The site feels the same as it did, but there's also some cool layouts I miss such as the old forum layout and such. Now it feels too cramped.

Anyways I added galaga to my profile so people can have some kind of reason to visit this page now a days. I don't map anymore, might get back into it but who knows. I love the creativity and sometimes the hassle is worth it, but is CSS still as popular as it was a year ago? I know they just added achievements to it, but I don't see it being as populated as it used to be.

So that just leaves me without purpose of being here. I just need to find something to contribute to the site again to really get back into the groove. Since my come back I've only made 3 threads and posted in profiles, nothing too exciting.

Well this was a short journey. I have made the decision to withdraw from Texas Tech. today based on my ending grades from the fall semester. Let's just say that they were not good.
During the last few weeks of my semester I have been trying to pursue a new major, but nothing sparked my interest. So all that ended up happening was a waste of time. I could of spent my time doing something more productive, but instead my advisor sent me off on wild goose hunts.
Everything was a dead end, and I hated it. I have been on an email chain with my advisor for the past week, but he is anything but helpful. All I wanted to do from the start was to change my major from Architecture to Undeclared so I could just take some core classes before I was to depart from the campus (my original plan was to stay for the spring semester). In the end, we didn't even get that done.

So right now I am pretty depressed coming to realize that my semester was a waste and I do not know what I want to do with my life. It has come to that time where I need to look for a job and have a busy life. My dad pretty much talked me down this path of leaving TTU. He only cares for me, but I hate hearing these things and now I have to face the rest of my family about this decision. I can only hope that they will be supportive and not give me a hard time.

My advice if you were to go to a university:

Go to class, and study at least every other night.

Make sure you go over what courses that you are required to take for that major before you become committed to it.

You need to maintain a 2.0 GPA at least so you are not in jeopardy of being academically suspended. (At least here in Texas)

A D letter grade does NOT give you credit for the course.

They may sound easy to accomplish, and I thought the same, but once you set foot on a campus and you have so much freedom then it takes a lot of motivation to go to class. Before you know it you miss a couple of classes and you think to yourself that it wasn't that bad and you didn't miss anything. Think again...

So my new course of action is to go to a local community college and start my GPA over. I do not plan to transfer my credits from TTU, so I will be in good shape to forget that it even happened. One day I hope to go back to a university, and to be better prepared and motivated.

Reality is harsh!
