Reply #6: I remember a couple of weeks ago, [View All]

you had those 3 research projects all due and were in a pinch.

You won't lose your loans...but you should figure out how much that english class will cost you in loans/interest since you have to retake the class.

But I bet you lose your scholarship, as you say, and it sounded like a pretty choice scholarship to have. I only had one that paid tuition, period - certainly not expenses and the such.

And here I am going to use a little tough love. Stop giving yourself so much credit for that 4.0 you had, because that's gone - forever. That 4.0 that you had had only conditional value, and that was if you could keep it up there throughout the entirety of your college career.

I think you need to do some soulsearching about what the heck you are even doing in school. All the other students get their stuff in -- so it isn't work load that's killing you. You have to identify what it is that allows you to just not do the work (in the same fashion as all the others).

Family issues?
Health issues?
Following the wrong dream?

Because your predicament has nothing to do with the clock that you can't beat.

It's like.....the problem isn't that the teacher didn't get the message from you; the problem is that you didn't get the paper done on Friday. Why is that?

Sorry to be so tough, but after that terrible time crunch you had a couple of weeks ago, it seems like this is a chronic problem.

Yeah, I know......the last thing you need is a critical parent telling you that you failed. That's not what I am saying; I am saying: look closely at what you are doing.
