The Reality of My Finite Nature

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!
