I have a shitload of butterflies swirling around in my stomach. Why? Today, after purchasing a couple books for this quarter's classes, I found the time to talk to a counselor about my status of applying to transfer by this Fall. We went over the classes I've already taken, matched it up with IGETC, planned out the classes that I still need to take this Winter/Spring, and added up the total amount of units. She informed me that I would still be short 13 units. She instructed me to add one more class this quarter and add an additional class to my Winter and Spring schedule in order to meet the required 90 units to transfer. I kept asking her "Is it do-able?" and she said "Yes it is. It all depends how bad you want it."
I'm pretty sure applying for Spring semester isn't going to work out because of all the budget cuts happening. So it's better for me to be safe than sorry and get this shit done the RIGHT way. I'm just... so overwhelmed. I've said it before - I have no room for error. But it's just now come in to focus that if I literally make any mistake in not passing a class this year, I will be stuck at that shit hole called De Anza for another YEAR. That is just not acceptable.
For the past 2 years at De Anza, I've been taking it easy. Each quarter I only passed 2 out of 3 classes. I have never had a quarter where I passed all 3. Now, I'm going to be paying for this shit in my third year. I'm most worried about my math classes. Particularly when I get to stats.
If there's anything in this world that I can show for, it can be this 2011-2012 school year. I will be fucking proud of myself and celebrate the hell out of it during my big TWO ONE next year.
I just really gotta put the pedal to the medal. Go hard or go home. I gotta make this shit happen.
