seriously rethinking the uni-thing
secondly... im a bit worried. Admittedly it is getting near deadline for assignment/essays time, which always puts that extra stress on, but i dont know if its all about that.
I am thinking about dropping out of uni for the meantime. Well finishing the one course i am not having trouble with, and leaving the other three for another time.
At the moment, i am having too much trouble with the courses i am doing, and it is really stressing me out.
If i could start the linguistics courses all over again i would, and do them properly this time.
Im just not sure that this is where i want to be right now.
Well definately the level of effort i have put in this year is not good, and its showing in my marks, etc. Not that the marks really matter, but for example, this linguistics assignment i am working on at the moment, i have completely screwed up and i am going to need to do it all over again. Most other people in the class have written 10-15 single-spaced pages :S I havent even started writing up the report yet, and its due tuesday.
Wow, as you can probably tell, i havent thought this over much, which explains why these thoughts dont really flow, or make a lot of sense. But i need to post this right now... so maybe later i'll fix it up a bit :)
Anyway, this linguistics course is one that really matters to me... and i need to understand it to be able to move on to 300 level papers. I havent really understood either of the internal assignments we've had this year, and they have both been worth 20% yet have contained many more hours work than any other courses i've done.
I'm not sure exactly what im trying to say here, but maybe that i need to focus on my french linguistics (essay due monday, thats almost too late to make a good job of it) and my development studies, and leave the sociolinguistics and political science for 'later'. Or perhaps the problem is that i was never cut out for this sort of thing, and i should do what i've always wanted to do and do some papers at bible college.
Argh. that really makes no sense at all. but ideas or comments (and prayers!) would be appreciated. please.

Before doing anything drastic I'd suggest this. Finish the year and what your doing now then once it's all done and you've a couple of weeks of spare time or atleast time that has no uni work in it and nothing related to uni sit down or lie down and have a think about it. Never a good idea to make important dessions when stressed and tired!
Quick Question. Do you think God's lead you this far just for you drop it now? Think about that and ask some of the others to pray about it and what they think God's telling them about what your doing？
Trust in God and rest in his strength!
A quick verse not quite the one I was thinking of but seems relavent。
[RSV] Psalms 73:27 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
