<p>I am inside watching my yard flood from the apparent inland typhoon that started yesterday.</p>
<p>being sad about that one a- i got in college. never going to get a 4.0. my dreams are crushed. 
sad face</p>
<p>^ seriously, it’s fine! Getting a 4.0 is overrated and you still did wonderful. Honestly, if there’s anything that will crush your dreams, it’ll be your attitude. You can still get great jobs and get into good grad programs with a 3.9 and even a 3.8. You just need to let go.</p>
<p>As for me, I’m spending my Christmas Eve with my family and am not going to think about school. I still have 2 weeks before I need to go back, and I’m going to enjoy every stress-free moment!!</p>
<p>And I’m sorry about your yard, Ultimablade. That’s awful!</p>
<p>Being sad about that one A- you got in college? You’re a first semester freshman. The overwhelming odds are that it won’t be your last one. You may even get a B at some point. And that’s perfectly fine. </p>
<p>I’m just sitting around relaxing. I’m probably going to game for a while in a little bit. I don’t have any family stuff going on until tomorrow. My main family Christmas won’t be until the 29th though. </p>
<p>Wallowing in self-pity about how I haven’t received a decision from UT Dean’s Scholars :(</p>
<p>Hanging out with a college friend and later going to a gathering of heathens, aka a small party with Jews.</p>
<p>Power went out for several hours earlier in the day- no apparent reason. </p>
<p>Once it came back on, my soon-to-be in-laws came over and we (my partner and I) spent the day eating and playing cards with them and my parents. </p>
<p>Ended the day with getting back my last grade (for a class that I literally never got one single grade in) and ending my anxiety about that. </p>
<p>Now, I’m relaxing and reading American Eugenics while every other human in my house is asleep and my dog is happily going to town on one of her new toys while laying on my legs
