Sometimes I think that I want to drop out of school and not just take the time off. I slightly have an avoidant personality. The people in my life tell me that its not going to be "better" anywhere else. I can't bring myself to talk to my teacher about the difficulties I am having in class though. I think it would be too embarrassing. I know that I would not be happier somewhere else, and that there are benefits to going to class and working on my degree, but I want out of this school NOW! That is how I feel. I have an appointment with my doctor and my mom today to talk about it. I know what she's going to say: she's going to ask if I can make up the work later. My mom is going to be completely devastated because she really wants me to go to get a college degree. She is going to do everything she can to keep me there. She thinKS i am giving up if I don't go to school. My mom is the one who wants me in school. But The truth is that I have a hard time doing the things that I want to do, like bible study and art class. I couldn't even bring myself to go to bible study last week even though I really wanted to go. I know this is something I'm going to be dealing with continually. All I can hope is that my mom will not hold a grudge against me for dropping out. This morning she called me selfish for no good reason except that I have a hard time getting out of bed and she wakes me up each morning. She has never called me selfish or any other name because of it before though.
I don't know whats going to happen...
I'll let you know how it goes.
