Hi gg. Yeah, I think that college has been useful in telling what I'm more suited for; that I did well in science and math in high school doesn't mean that I could continue doing so in postsecondary studies, nevermind actually wanting to. I thought I carried a bit too much occasional resentment for those subjects then... having fifteen hours per week total (plus study time; about thirty hours) isn't helping one bit! I think financial aid would be a problem anyway, but thankfully education is relatively cheap where I live and everyday expenses would be the main issue.
It's just so confusing because even though I have grades back and a midterm assessment (rough grades based on the first two months of work), I really don't know how well I'm doing. My assessment said that I'm doing quite well in everything except for physics (which was satisfactory), but I can't see how my grades are adding up to that at all in most subjects. Added to the fact that I've been very emotional this week and there are advantages to the program which would be lost if I left, I'm completely confused at the moment.
