Jan. 24th, 2008 10:31 pmDo I drop Speech?
I don't know if I can keep my current courseload and still get good grades in everything. Not doing speech now means that I probably won't be able to enter Humboldt fall semester, but that's ok. It doesn't actually set me back in terms of entering the nursing program if that ends up being the case.
(This means fall is looking like speech, o-chem, statistics. Fun, huh?)
I feel bad about the idea of dropping it, but the grades I get matter. Muddling through with 15 units is not going to look better than doing better with 12.
(Why Speech specifically? I'm taking it in Davis, so dropping it won't effect my full-time status. It also has the longest syllabus of any class I've taken, and the least sympathetic-seeming professor.)
(Ok, the last bit is untrue. I don't think anyone will beat the "I assign homework Monday that is due Friday so you can't work on it over the weekend" geometry teacher. Or C.)

Taking as many units as you can manage, and focusing on doing well in all your classes proves you know your self well, and know how to be productive.
You are amazing.
Yep, drop Speech, take it in Fall. Waiting for Humboldt may also give you some time to regroup and re-energize.
