Never take anything that is worthwhile lightly

Hello everyone, this is all new to me.  Not only am I back in school after a five year hiatus, this is also my first online class (had to remind myself that I didn't need a notebook).  I thought Spring of 07 was going to be it for me, I even participated in my class' grad ceremony (by the way I am totally looking forward to doing it again this Spring)...no shame. :)  What happened was I had a 3.4 overall GPA all through 06.  I fell in love with my now husband, and all of a sudden I was too cool for school.  I didn't care when the F's started coming in because I knew they wouldn't affect me (or so I thought).  When I checked in on my progress, big shot here finds out that her overall GPA is now 2.7 and her SJSU GPA is 1.99!  Go ahead and laugh, the wound has healed. :)  Consequently, I now find myself here with two toddlers helping me out every step of the way (as you can only imagine).  I'm not upset with myself anymore though.  I am actually looking forward to this semester.  I think if I had qualified for graduation after an entire year of irresponsible disregard for my studies it would have ended up hurting me in the long run.  I can guarantee you that I will never again take anything that is worthwhile to me lightly again; and if getting to know all of you through this class is "the worst of it" (it's all my pleasure), I think this might just be the best mistake of my life.  So here's to our class and the .01 I need to get this show on the road.  Good luck guys...in everything!
