Why does doing what's best for me so often feel like failure?
I'm dropping Calc 2: there's no way I can get better than a D (C- if they're unbelievably generous), and that's if I work on Calc to the exclusion of everything else, including my job. Obviously, dropping is the best thing to do, and it has to be done by today, so I can't put it off any more.
But.... I hate quitting, I hate having to give up. Like most of my family, I tend to keep trying to finish something long past the point I should have given up, or at least gotten help with it. I'm trying to change that, but I still hate it.
Anyway... the student loan folks are being extremely helpful, and not having to think about calc will make my whole life a lot less stressful, so overall it's a good thing. I'm just not real happy about it.
