Tracking My Final Semester at Georgia Tech

Given that this is both my last and my most difficult semester at Georgia Tech, I have decided to track my progress throughout the semester. With any luck, the final work will provide a useful guide for other Georgia Tech students with aspirations of pushing the envelope, and succeeding in the process.

For any who doubt that this will be a difficult semester, consider that I have been approved, for the first time in Georgia Tech's history, to take 23 hours in a single semester. And I intend to earn an 'A' in every class. Receiving approval for so many hours required a lengthy Petition to the Faculty, which was finally approved in late November 2008, as well as numerous meetings, essays, and recommendations to prove my commitment to succeed.

As the semester goes along, I will post updates tracking my progress, the activities in which I am involved, the stresses I face (and the ways in which I deal with them), and anything else that may be useful for other students in a similar position.
