I don't wish to sound trite or patronizing. I've had to drop back a clas or two now and again to survive. I understand your frustration and anger.
But, I think I finally made it through because, it was a course of study that intrigued me. I felt that it was where I belonged. I know you can set a course and tackle it step by step, even inch by inch, if that's what it takes.
But, do what makes you feel complete and happy. School will still be there when you feel up to it.
Kindred Spirit,
