Sallyawp: Thanks! But I’m afraid it’s not just a blip. It is a HUGE blip…I’m so upset that I let myself stoop this low. It was a hectic quarter with reading 300+ pages a week and writing 2 papers a week for a different course that I took…I also write for the school paper and wrote 2 to 3 articles per week this quarter. I just never studied for that class I nearly failed and did very poorly on the midterms, quizzes, and finals.

One thing that IS for sure, however, is that it will never happen again. It’s just going to be incredibly difficult getting my cumulative GPA up again, especially with being an international studies major, which is fairly difficult at my school. We’re required to do a 25 page research paper before we graduate.

Right now I write for the school newspaper, will be the news editor for next quarter, and currently interning at a magazine for the summer (writing is my strongest skill, and I was considering journalism for quite a while before thinking about law). Should I continue with journalism while in undergrad?
