Summer 2012 - preparing for Fall 2012

First off, in my last post I didn't mention the good things that happened last semester:


  • I have partnered with a successful business owner and a web designer at my Church to undertake a web/iPhone app project. It wont be the next Netflix or Facebook, but I think it will be a success. More to come of this later ;)
  • I grabbed an EE Internship at Intel for the summer, I plan on taking every advantage this gives me for landing my first real job.
So with both of those taking up most of my time I am taking my physical and mental health to the next level, in preparation for my first semester at ASU (Or another semester at CGCC, which ever happens) either way, I'll be ready for it this time.

Spring 2012 - Failure

At the beginning of this year my health, my faith in God, my trust in my friends, my finances, and my mind were all in the best shape they had ever been, which is why last semester was so great with my grades, my new job and everything mentioned in the Fall 2011 post. I was certain everything would stay the same through this semester...so I did the following:

Classes

  • Calculus II
  • Engineering Science II
  • University Physics I (Mechanics)
  • Computer Science I (C++)
  • Chemistry I
I was also working 20 hours a week, working out and keeping to all my other New Years Resolutions.

I was doing great until Midterms, when I crashed, got sick and dropped one class, then by finals failed two more.

This pushed my frustration to the next level, but I decided it didn't destroy anything...its pushing me back a semester and a lot of money, but I couldn't have picked a better semester for a breakdown because everything else in my life is nice and stable, thanks to God.

I will take this setback just like every other one and keep moving forward.
