And a PE class I'm just taking because I have to. xD

Oh, wow. Looks like a complete slacker semester now that I look at it. I should have just gone to a university straight out of high school, if we're being honest. Going to a community college, for lack of a better term, is complete and utter BULLSHIT. You get lost in a system based on seniority - meaning if you've been there longer, you get priority in registration.

Now, it works this way in most universities as well, but bear in mind that at a community college, it's so dirt cheap that some people stay and slack around with no idea what they want out of their lives for eight or ten years before deciding they want to take things seriously. By this point, even though they've probably flunked all of the remedial classes and electives they've taken until them, they get priority in core classes, which a majority of them will drop or flunk anyway.

And where does this leave me?

Screwed because I decided what I wanted out of my life early on and didn't make excuses for myself. Ugh. You know, I worked my ass off all through high school - I deserve to be somewhere that will let me do what I'm capable of.

I can guarantee you, I can take more than one of my core science classes in a single semester and still ace them, because you know what? That's what I friggin' DO. I like working hard, and I like getting what I want. I've never settled for anything less. You can ask Erik, I'd come out of class in tears if I had a B on a report card in high school. I had a C once when I had to miss school because I was sick, and again, Erik can tell you I ran and hid in a corner - I was inconsolable because I was so disappointed in myself.

And you know what? I'm going to be really disappointed in myself if I stay at CCSF much longer, because I know I can do SO much better than this.
