I'm a quitter
I just couldn't do it. 5 classes were just too much for me to handle. The amount of homework I had was unreal. Most of my classes were suffering because I wasn't able to spend enough time studying and doing homework. I made my decision during the last half of trigonometry class on Thursday. I realized that what the teacher was talking about was making less and less sense to me. It was obvious that I was headed for trouble. So I dropped that class today. Today was the last day you could drop a 12-week class and get your full tuition back. It was a big relief when I decided what I was going to do. I was disappointed, but it was the smart thing for me to do. I'm also starting to consider other career paths. I haven't decided to drop the whole renewable energy thing, I'm just weighing all of my options. School is definitely expanding and changing the expectations and goals that I have for myself. And I want to make sure I'm heading in the right direction. I wish I had started this a lot sooner.

It's only Sunday, but doing this has already been a huge relief. I'm still putting in a lot of hours on homework and reading, but I don't feel stressed or over-worked now. I actually feel like I have time to a few other things and am able to take a break once in a while. I'm going to have to keep this in mind in the coming terms. My college education will no doubt take longer, but I think it will be better for doing it.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was A LOT of classes.
