I'm also open to other possibilities, but I cant just stop working. Â*With the amount of money I owe my parents, thats not an option.

Why do you hate it, and more importantly, why are you doing bad with the grades? |
Why I hate it: Because its just like highschool. Some people say highschool was the best time of their life, and they'd give anything to live it over again. I say if i had to live it over again, I'd put a bullet throuh my head. Even now, I find myself dragging myself to bergen, and when people ask me how i like it, the best answer i can give them is "eh. its school."
Why I am failing: In class, I'm great. out of class (studying, hw, etc.) i suck. I have ADHD, and though i know its not an excuse, its an explination. I have a lot of trouble actually getting myself to sit down and do the work. even when i do sit down, something important comes up that cannot be postponed (ex, going to school) and then, somethin ELSE important comes up that cannot be postponed (work) and then I come home, exhausted, and go to sleep, and I eventually forget completely about the assignment until the teacher brings it up in class that its due. I mean, im not lazy. when I was in HS, I ran the tv studio. I would stay as late as 8 pm in the studio, when they would kick me out, straighting everything, testing everything, making sure everything would work for the broadcast the next morning.
If its something I truely like, i can do it. like my mass communication class (im going for broadcast) I can do good in if it werent for the fact that the teacher is an ******* who makes up his test questions with his own oppions stated as facts, and just plain ********.
And by the way, thanks guys, but I'm going back next semester as full time. I talked to my dad about it, and his response "I would prefer if you stayed in school." (read as: "If you leave, you better work your ass off, because your going to have to be paying rent in your own apartment"
