I am currently enrolled in college. The last term did not go well for me. I cycled throughout the term and did not (was not able) to complete the coursework. Of course, there was the holidays and family drama to deal with as well. Now, I have the opportunity to take a leave of absence to regain some balance. I am torn about it.
I am much better now and I was able to do 3 terms before this one. I have a 3.85 gpa going for me. At least up until I got the f's in this term. I can get academic relief if I retake them and have my new grades put in their place.
Knowing that the holidays add so much extra stress, would you continue with the next classes or would you take the L.O.A.?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
My next term seems to be a mix of fun/easy and a little tougher. With what you said, both my classes this last term were tough. A lot of writing and analyzing. I am still not sure though. Part of me wants to go for it and part of me is a bit leary.
My big concern is that I may not go back and then it will all be for naught and I'll have another bill to look forward to with nothing to show for it. Hmmm......
