My last grade got posted last night.  B+  I can’t complain, considering I missed turning in a couple of case assignments, and figured that I’d be lucky if I got an A.  At least my GPA stays above a 3.0, which is all I needed.  I’m sitting down with my Independent Study coordinator on Monday to get that setup.  So it’s just a matter of waiting for the rest of things to get underway.  Financial Aid is set now.  I just need to figure out if I’m set for December graduation or not. 

After a couple of days of tracking my food intake – I just have to say wow.  It’s no wonder I was feeling tired and run down for awhile.  So much garbage.  At least my calorie intake was good, but the nutrients I need… weren’t there.  We’ll see how this keeps up. 

Anyways, that’s it for the moment.
