I'm a 23 year old, second year law student, who is attempting to stay sane throughout it all. I’m frequently overwhelmed, often delighted and always caffeinated

I know its considered taboo to talk about grades but I’m going to rant anyway.
Today was the final deadline for grades to be posted. After only receiving one grade, which was an improvement I was hopeful albeit panicked to get all my grades at once like that.
As William Shakespeare once said “Expectation is the root of all heartache.”
I really thought that I was improving this semester and I literally worked my ass off to try and raise my GPA and keep my scholarship.
Instead, I received the same disastrous GPA. I will most likely lose my scholarship.
I improved in each class I received C’s in last semester. But I went down in Torts and Contracts to compensate and received C’s in those two classes. And, on my curve C’s are absolutely brutal.
I’m so disappointed in myself.
Scheduling is going to drive me up the wall, especially since full time students are on the low end of the totem poll. I’m trying to figure out since I won’t be doing any internships or externships if I should take summer classes?
The thought makes me want to crawl up in a hole and die. I thought summer classes would end with my undergraduate career.
Any fellow Lawblrs want to weigh in on summer classes or give me some advice? Much appreciated!
