of course

So I have to decide by today whether or not I'm going to take classes this semester, because if I am, registration ends today.

I can argue it both ways, and right now I'm so exhausted and overwhelmed it's hard to think about - which might appear to lean towards "take another semester off" except for the fact that (a) it's situational/circumstantial; (b) I won't be doing so much traveling and partying when I'm in school which might help me regulate my life a little bit and get that energy back and (c) with a year's effort I could be done with this fucking degree; which leans me towards "take one class, you can survive one." And yet, I have a big emotional move coming up. And of course I've been oscillating for a while, but with the past few weeks being the way they have been, I haven't given it any hefty consideration at all.

But this is not what I wanted to be slammed with on a Monday




...can I just declare amnesty on absolutely everything now?

That's a lot at once, I agree. I've kind of been there; thank god I didn't have a job at the time, I think that would have been too much.

I would take a single class, though. Worst case? You drop it. I always used to overload my schedule for the first three weeks of classes, and then drop the class that was just sucking my time in the wrong way; perhaps not the best life choice all the time, but it was especially good the semester right after my Lost Year.

It's an intent to move forward, with an out in case it's just not happening.

Let me know if you need anything. I will totally drive/fly/train out to Akron if I have to.

*sends hugs* Good luck with making a decision.

"Emotional move" coming up as in a physical relocation that will prove to be emotionally taxing?

Or, a large decision that will require a lot of emotional energy?

On the one end, I understand wanting to be done. I really do. However, you're going through a lot of shit and how much of your attention will this class really be able to get? What expense will you have to pay in regards to sleep input or to personal input? I would assume that the output won't be very high right now. A semester off won't kill you.

And we can have a kick ass graduation party next year.

"Emotional move?" What is going on with you girl? I'm never in the loop!

If it were me, I'd just suck it up and get school over with. But I have no idea what exactly it is that you'd have to "suck up," so that could be terrible advice.

Hang in there@
