As for the statement that I felt like I put hardly any effort into school is that I do what I have to to get things done to get the grade. I tried to take a Electronic Engineering course which I ended up with a C... I might have past it but just barely! I did well on the homework and quizzes but it's like a totally different person took the exams. I liked the class so I don't understand what I didn't understand doing the homework. The same went for the Physics class I had to take before hand, I retook it and got a B.
I'm not a organized person my computer room, where I want to do homework, is a mess and I'm always trying to keep it as clean as I can. I want to work in a clean environment. I find myself going to coffee shops as I can't keep things neat with hardly being home. I also kinda lazy on the days I work, I'm working home handling a day at work and doing what I need to do. I've also been trying to keep a healthily sleep habit.
It's like if I have to pull and all nighter I will! I make sure I can make deadlines, be at class on time and just being at class. I watch the high school kids at work work on their homework in the break room and I can't see how as we only get 15-30 breaks. I mean I need time to get into what I'm working on.
OK I'm starting a rant about why I feel like I could put more effort into my school work. I'll stop there.
Nice to meet you.

What do you think it is that keeps you from excelling any further? You said you hardly put any effort into school, so it doesn't sound like the amount of hours you work or credits you take, is the factor that is keeping you from succeeding. Do you just like to party a lot, or do you possibly find the class work boring? The fact that you can pull a 3.3 without even trying, suggests that you are bright and possibly just not challenged enough to keep your interest.
