Patterns in life
Looking over my SFU transcript, and alarming pattern emerged.
Every year, my marks would peak in the Summer semester before taking a drastic fall in the Fall semester.
Every.
Single.
Year.
I even made a chart to illustrate the point:
Okay, so 2004 doesn't follow the pattern exactly since summer semester isn't the highest that year, but that was the only semester that I only took one course, so let's consider it an anomaly. But the Fall semester is still my worst GPA wise.
Delving back, summer-time is when I had lots of distractions from my school work, and fall semester was always the semester I promised myself that I'd crack down and get serious about school.
So what have I learned from this? Don't try so hard. I do my best when I'm not trying. It's when I try my best that everything goes in the crapper. Best intentions and all that jazz?
In other words, motivated underachievement works!
(or it could be related to taking on a larger workload and more intensive courses during the Fall. Who really knows...)
