Nobody Likes a Quitter
Oh well.
So even after talking on the phone to my parents yesterday and convincing myself that I was just gonna truck through Music 250 no matter how boring it was or how many hours of sleep I lost by going, I dropped the class. Right this second I feel kind of stupid, like “Oh, maybe it wasn’t that bad.� But I really was not enjoying the class. Now I will have a lot more time and energy to manage and focus on my other classes. I didn’t even have a book for Music 250 yet, so it’s not like I lost anymore money. Sure, now this means I’m going to have to take another class in the future to fulfill a non-western-based GEC, but I know I’m gonna be here for a while so I’m not too worried about it. I know I'm probably just making excuses for a stupid decision. I suppose I am sort of disappointed in myself that I would just quit out on something that sucked, but when I’m hitting that snooze at 10am on Mondays and Wednesdays instead of 8am, I’ll not regret my decision. It’s not all about sleep though. I am also disappointed in the class. I figured world music would knock my socks off. It didn’t. And yes, I know, classes aren’t always going to be amazing, and I can’t just drop out of all of them. But I think stress per week now is greatly diminished and the rest of the quarter will be a lot easier. So I guess now I have to get A’s in all my other classes. But I can do that. I do believe this will benefit me in the coming 7 weeks. Sorry Mom and Dad for pooching out. And I’m sorry Music 250, you just weren’t for me this quarter.
GO BUCKS?

As long as you don't make quitting a new habit, this is not an issue. I am sure I will get a better return on my investment when you pick a more worthwhile class that you enjoy. I am looking forward to celebrating all those A's this spring. Cheers!
