I'm dropping Critical Thinking in the morning. While I was looking forward to learning more and being challenged, I was overambitious.
I'm a smart woman...
I am not a slacker.
In truth, I could have handled it, I'm sure.
But at what cost? My other classes are challenging enough, and are just as important. This class was taking away 3,4,5 hours of my time I could be devoting to these other classes. I can't let my gpa suffer. It's necessary to do well in these classes that I actually need for my majors and to graduate. So, I'm dropping it. I've learned some from the classes I have attended, so it wasn't a wash. And I do think it has better prepared me by giving me a taste of what a future in graduate school would be like if I choose that path.
In the mean time though, I'll be a little less stressed. (emphasis on less, as I will still be stressed) But I will hopefully making some room to enjoy my last semester.
No regrets.
In terms of MOVING FOWARD...
1) My brother is coming this weekend to visit me in Chicago! Hopefully that'll relieve some stress. Looking forward to just enjoying some time out on the town.
2) Sankofa's fast approaching and I'm looking forward to it and it's potential. I'm nervous. But the meeting on Sunday helped me feel a bit more at ease. Expressing my personal thoughts and emotions has never really been my strong point, especially not to large groups of people... it's going to be tough. But I opened up, and it felt good. Hoping there will be a lot more of that next weekend.
