I had to withdraw form a class and I feel terrible. It was a difficult class and I just didn't have the time or energy to dedicate to it. I have been thinking about for awhile and thought it would be enough to quit my job. My semester is just too heavy, especially for my first one back. I still need to take the class in the future but now that I know what to expect I can plan my semester accordingly. I still feel like garbage about it.
I need to think about the future : bring my GPA so I can get my honours degree and be eligible for a MSc. I'm not saying I will pursue my master's degree but I want to have the option. Not that my GPA is bad, the standards are different for an education degree. I did well enough but I could have done better. As it stands, my average is fine for an honours degree but not so fine if I even want to consider applying anywhere for a master's program.
Yes Mom, I know it is late. I'm just too wound up to sleep. You know how I get.
I think I know how you feel -- I had to give up a bunch of jobs and commitments so that I could focus on a few important things (well -- ONE important thing, my dissertation). And I felt like a quitter, and I felt crappy and useless, but now? Now I feel like I'm getting things done, where before I felt like I was always behind. I hope it gets easier for you to, and that your sacrifice ends up paying off!
ReplyDeleteI hate the feeling of thinking you an handle it only to find out you can't.
