But that doesn't mean I feel any better. I still have projects to work on and I'm afraid to tell my dad that I dropped 2 courses. I dropped Animal Development because I did awful on the midterm, worth about half of my grade for that course. I don't know what I did wrong, I was sure I knew all the answers. I also dropped Organic Chemistry so I don't need to worry about it. I just knew I wouldn't do well, I had no time to study. I'll try and take it again another year and I'll do take up a course in summer and hold a job.

How ironic, this will likely add another year to my undergraduate degree, but at the same time, I feel like I'm getting somewhere. I'll have more time to do my work, so hopefully I can get better grades and I'm putting forward an effort to find a decent job. In the mean time, at least the grocery will give me some spending money. Also on the plus side, the brusing on my arm has healed.

I guess it all started today after class when I went to get my posters from my TA that I forgot in lab. I told him about how frustrated I felt with my results. He advised me to try and evaluate if I really was happy with what I was doing and to try and take it a little more easier. He told me it took him 5 years to get his undergrad and many times he felt frustrated as well. I came home, thought carefully and dropped 2 of my courses.

Now, I just have to break the news to my dad. That's the only hurdle I have right now. Wish me luck...
