Ah stress, you’ve won again.
So, I came to the decision to withdraw from my stats subject today. Due to me spending more time looking after my boyfriend who has just had his appendix out and was super sore and had literally no one else to help out, I had very little time to do an assignment. So… at the risk of failing a subject. I withdrew from it and will complete it in my final semester next year instead. It in no way changes my graduation date, so that’s good. The stress of that subject is now gone. I am no longer a crying, blubbering mess, trying crazily to get an assignment done that I can’t do because I had no idea how to do it! GAH! I love uni, and it’s important, but I also love my boyfriend/family more and if they need me I’m going to put them first.
So thus, I have withdrawn. My boyfriend is supportive of me doing this, and said as long as it doesn’t screw me over for next year, that it’s all good. He’s so amazing. There’s no guilt trip. No, oh my gosh, wtf do you think you’re doing. This will ruin our future. My ex did that. I had a bad year last year with the death of my grandad etc… so I did fail 1 subject, and only got a pass and a credit in a few others. To him, I wasn’t trying, I wasn’t thinking of him, and our life together, even though we were inevitably going to break up that december. Still… it’s nice to have someone on my side. My boyfriend trusts that I’m doing what’s best for me, and knows I’m well aware of my own abilities. For this subject… it just couldn’t be done with the time I had to do it in… and there’s no way they would have given me an extension just because I felt the need to tend to my boyfriend. SO yeah. Thank gosh I have him in my life. He’s there to love me and support me, and if I make a mistake, he says “as long as you learn from it” not “wtf is wrong with you.” Far out it’s refreshing.
