Semester of Chaos

The last few months have been crazy. The semester has gone all but planned. The biggest kink in my semester is my dads company shutting down. After about ten years in the construction business, my dad is calling it quits. This may sound like a bad thing, but it is really very relieving. Running a business requires sacrifices and tons of stress. Being a part of the business myself, it is a huge stress relief for me, or will be when its all said and done. The biggest task I was responsible for this semester was selling all the trucks and equipment. With putting dozens of pieces of equipment and trucks online for sale and getting them in auctions came hundreds of phone calls, countless two hour round trips to Bristow, and several hours of moving everything out of the shop. This overwhelming task took over my life, and my classes suffered. I tried juggling both the best I could at first, but quickly got stretched too thin. I will pass all my classes, but my grades will reflect my lack devotion to school. Next semester I will work on making up my GPA.
