college blog: medical issues, dropping classes, again
today was the last day of "drop/add"
for those of you who are in (or going to be in) college thats a VERY important phrase. the drop/add period is the time at the beginning of the term where you can DROP or ADD a class without penalty.
specifically if you DROP a class in the D/A period, its vanishes off your record, it was NEVER there, and you do not pay for it.
if you Withdraw (like dropping but after the D/A period) you pay for the class! and it appears as a W on your transcript.
anyway, i had been supposed to take three classes this summer.
i just dropped two of them
:(
between my medical tests and appointments, the summer heat (which i do NOT do well in, neither does wayne) and the fact that ONE of the classes can only have work done in the labs (which means more time traveling to and from school, and more time at school)
i was looking at a mandatory drop of a grade for missing class time.
so even if i got an A it would be a B
minimum.
worse if i got SICK or the heat got too bad.
sigh
still a lot of work to do for the remaining class.. and more time to work on people's perks for Indiegogo.. and more time to make jewelry for Etsy.
shrug
we do what we have to
