It's a new year

Yes, it is now the year two thousand and nine and my second semester of college starts tomorrow. In the break I spend 75% of my time working. But now I've got to batten down the hatches and throw my neck into the fray of learning again, except now I've got to give it 1000% (yes, that is one thousand, so I need 10 of me...) to keep things going. It is to be expected though, I did not perform to my, or my parents expectations. So now I'm in trouble across the board, and I'm the only one that can save it, or I'm gone... This one is for all the marbles.
