Narrative:

I was approaching the runway, but out of alignment. I decided to do a go around. I added power, carburetor heat off, flaps up 10 degrees. I pitched up and must not have had enough airspeed. Plane landed in grass off to the left side of runway. No damage to plane or property. Instructor believes I got behind the power curve after debriefing after incident. The next day my time was spent practicing gars.
