jbrooks544, I think I better understand what you mean. You're right about just doing what I'm interested and what needs to be done (school) and letting everything else fall into place. I admit, I'm too hung up on the fact that I don't want to later admit I didn't like my time in college very much.

Shades, unfortunately I think moving out is going to be the most difficult task. Ironically, my dad does rent apartments and duplexes (all of which are no longer available) but he said he would keep an eye out for single bedroom/studio type places. I'm looking in the school newspaper too. The problem is, I don't think he's too keen about spending $300/month to live across town and I don't want to push the issue. Most leases for apartments around the university have ended so I may not be moving out anytime soon.

About grades...well I have a mediocre 3.55 GPA and if I take about the same class load my second two years and get ALL A's the highest my GPA could be is about 3.78. Realistically, I'm not going to get all A's and even if I did, I really doubt it's going to mean much in the job world especially with no extracurricular activities. It's a "too little, too late" scenario but I will still try to work harder.

I don't mean to get cathartic but to add injury to injury my wonderful dog just died and my hand tremors are getting worse. Yay.
