I'll take the first "y," no telling what the second one stands for. :s Yay!

Speaking of procrastinating, let's think of a conversation topic before I go back to doing real work! Hurry! Stop procrastinating!!
 
and then when you do you should stop about halfway through, just to complete the effect
 
I've skipped classes before, but usually only because I slept in too much of the class and travelling there wouldn't have any point to it.

I have, however, completely blown off an entire course because it was too much for me (I was taking too many hard classes at the time), not to mention I was going through a bad bout of depression.

And if I want to graduate soon, I have to retake it.

Go me...
 
I don't have anything funny to say. This sucks.

e: hey carcharger promise I'm responding give me a sec
e2: I've done that, and you have more balls than me, I wouldn't have admitted that publicly. (It also helps that you're a man, assuming you still have balls. You never know)
 
Keep in mind, in college, what your major is also puts some perspective on your grades. Some majors are easier than others.

Oh, you're a straight-A Liberal Arts major? Fantastic, now try some Cellular/Molecular Biology and Computer Programming.
 
School can be overwhelming, dude. Don't know if you saw my edit, but I just stopped attending a course too at one point because I was so overwhelmed. You've gotten this far, though, maybe knowing that will help push you through it?
 
Just keep trying because that's how I get through a level - keep failing until I succeed. Except here, it's more like retake it once or twice rather than 50 times.

Yeah, I know that much.

Having a bad semester can be damaging to your GPA, though. I had an overall GPA of 3.2 before the depression semester. Afterwards? 2.911.

And this semester only bumped it up to 2.931. Although, at my college, my overall GPA is still above average for Biology majors.

I don't know whether to laugh or be creeped out. X)

Edit:
I've never "skipped" classes (partially because I'm homeschooled so it's not really possible). I was late for a history class (which isn't at home), but it was because I had to wait for my mom to get ready (she teaches in the same building). She had lost part of her thumb in a cooking incident a few days before, which made it difficult for her to get ready.
 
I can't think of very many people with a perfect history in college, though. So don't be too hard on yourself! And don't let depression rough you up. I did the same thing for the same reasons and I ended up in a psychiatric ward and lost my job over it. Ugh. Are you seeing anyone?

I sound so...crazy. Feel free to not answer, that's a pretty personal question.

whoa, i meant a psychiatrist or therapist. yipes. hope you see this edit :-D I'm here all night
 
@outfox:

You're talking to me, right?

Yeah, I am seeing a psychiatrist and I'm feeling loads and loads better. Never ended up in a ward though. For some reason, despite all the suicidal thoughts and depression I've ever had, I've remained sane enough to always realize there was a way out of the tunnel. And if I didn't feel like there was, I'd talk to someone about it.
 
Oh, yes, Carcharger, sorry I didn't specify. It's so good you're able to rationalize with yourself. I'm manic-depressive, so when I get depressed I get totally out of control, all the reasoning in the world can't change my thoughts.

I'm glad the psychiatrist has helped. Do you feel you'll be able to make it through that course?
 
Probably.

Though, it won't be for a long time. I'm on a schedule now and I'm not slated for the course next semester.

In case anyone's interested I'm taking next semester:

- Plant/Animal Form & Function
- Vertebrate Natural History (specifically those of Central California)
- Literature, Film & Culture (nice little writing course, not to mention it fulfills a University requirement)

Oh, and I'm also working 24 hours a week during the semester, though I might reduce if things get too stressful. My employers are pretty lenient.
 
What fun things to study. My biggest issue with going back to school is deciding what the hell I want to study. Everything is so darn interesting

I haven't spoke to you before, but by that class selection, you have won my respect. :)

If I wasn't geared towards Theology & the Seminary, I would absolutely study Plant/Animal Form & Function alongside Physics.
