It's When Things Get Hard That You Mus'nt Quit

Unnnless you are going completely mental and for some reason you didn't sign the tuition cheque and they return it to you so you aren't even fully registered yet anyways so you can withdraw without monetary or academic penalty.............

(First.)

OMG I AM SO RELIEVED. You have no idea. A load has been lifted INDEED.

I quit a kinesiology class in college. It was swimming. I am a lifeguard - it was going to be super-easy and fun. But the first day, the instructor informed us that we'd be doing some diving. And well, um...I don't dive. (I know, how can a lifeguard NOT dive?) It's a phobia of mine, or something. So I dropped the class rather than face my fear. I suck. BUT, I don't have a spine injury, thank you very much.

I never quit a class in university or anything, but I quit soccor, ballet, t-ball and gymnastics when I was little. I wasn't one of those terribly coordinated or athletic types.

Still not.

Maybe my kids got my hubby's athletic genes...let's hope anyway.

I'm thinking someone was trying to tell you something, no?

I've quit college on several occassions, only to end up with 2 degrees and working on the 3rd. The quitting wouldnt stick.
I quit a very unhealthy marriage, but that was a good quit.

Loved mrtl's comment on keeping your hair!

I quit piano lessons. My teacher hated me because I never practiced. I dreaded going over there every week. My mother said that I would regret having quit once I grew up. She was wrong.

I quit university math twice..followed a few months later by the dropping the college of education and university as a whole altogether.

This is after my education psych prof told my husband that he predicted that I'd be the top student in the college in 4 years. Didn't have the heart to tell him that 1 year of being completely miserable is my limit.

You go girl!

I so would have dropped that class to, Amy! It just sounded crazy.

I dropped economics in first year university, and then dropped university after the first year.

I also dropped out of brownies, highland dancing, baseball, piano, swimming, and I'm sure there was more.

I think it's fate. The check, the stress... everything happens for a reason.

I dropped vector calculus (um....yeah? what was I thinking in the first place?!)- but didn't have your good $ fortune or the luck to have done so b/4 it was listed on my trans.
Congratulations!

I quit my marriage!

I love that this worked out for you.

of course, quitting my marriage worked for me too!

I quit Calc 2, Organic Chem 2, and one other class I forget, all in order to keep my GPA up high enough to maintain my scholarship. Of course I had to retake all of them later but I did better then.
