> Hello,

> I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of dropping out of my degree. I wasn't cut out for this degree crap. I like to study things that I'm interested in but I hate being told what to learn. I find it VERY boring. I think I'm going to try to get a job as an assistant in a pharmacy. The wage will be bad but it's better that nothing.

> I can't cope with the exams. I haven't done any work at all today. I try to sit down........ two minutes later I get up and put some music on. I'd continue the course if I thought I could pass the exams.... but I can't. I'll be sad to leave.

> Ed xxxxAre you like me? Struggle with that all or nothing thinking? Can't you just step off the track for a semester? Rest. Toward the end of getting my bachelor's I got so sick, and I had to drop back to two classes a semester to make it through. Even then I thought I wouldn't make it, but I did somehow. It seems like another lifetime now. I thought I wouldn't make it, but I did. I KNEW I wouldn't make it if I kept taking four classes/semester. But I muddled through on two. (I also had to let go of trying to be a straight-A student.)
