It's almost over. I have around 19 more days of school. I almost can't take it. This time of the year is the hardest by far. I have so much to do and no time to do it. Not only do I not have time, I also just don't have the drive to get my work done. That's the bad thing though. In turn for not doing my work at top quality I get not so top quality grades which in the long run will probably end up placing me in a "not so quality" engineering firm or something. Who knows.
These days I don't care much anymore. As long as I get a job that pays well and I don't have to worry constantly about money, I don't care. I don't really mind not inventing something super cutting edge or something that will change the world. My former self did. I wanted so bad to do something big, but I really don't see that its worth all the pain and suffering any more. To become that person that had a 4.0 and an awesome job, I would have to sacrifice everything. My friends, my family and my boyfriend. I know some people who are the perfect description of the 4.0 student. They have no friends, the stay up for days studying and doing homework and ... well lets face it, they have no life.
I guess I'm alright with the fact that instead of A's in all my classes I get B's. I suppose that is alright. I mean a B IS better than average, but most companies don't like to think so. I was always told that the world wants well rounded people. People that are no only smart but are able to get along with other. I have come to realize that is not so. If you have the grades, they don't care how you act, if you can talk, or really even what you do what your spare time. All they care is that you can get the work done for them, fast, cheap and efficiently. I guess I'm not cut out for that, but I'm sure out in the world someplace there is a company that wants someone like me. I suppose that it's just my task to seek it out.
