glasmalereiSo, yesterday I a) talked to my student advisor, b) talked to financial aid, c) talked to the registrar, d) talked to my doctor. I feel really damned productive, even if I didn't actually do a lick of classwork.
The upshot is that I'm switching to part time - only one class at a time, 8 credits a quarter. This will take effect in two weeks, after I finish the current classes I'm in, and will remain in effect until the end of the academic year in May, by which time I'm hoping to feel better. =P
(I looked into taking an actual leave of absence, but the amount of foobaring around with my loans wasn't worth it.)
Also, as it's almost certain that I'm going to flunk copywriting AGAIN (oh god, don't ask), my student advisor helpfully assured me she'd ask for it to be added back to my class list LATER, so that I don't have to go straight back into it again. x___x
AND, because if I *do* bomb the two classes I'm in (likely, though I might be able to pull a miracle in ethics), I went to my doctor to get a note (it's all typed up official on company letterhead) which might let me appeal the current classes so that I can take them again later at no charge. And the doctor looked at me with that v___v look that doctors get, so in addition to the note I have a new prescription for extra strong Zantac for my stomach, which I'm to take regularly instead of only when I need it, so that we can do a few months of being proactive about my severely over acid stomach.
You know what? It makes a HUGE difference in your outlook in the mornings when you wake up and it DOESN'T feel like your stomach is eating itself. ^___^
Better living through chemicals. Hip hip hurrah!
