I am finally going to see a psychologistt. I managed to get support formt he uni and the lady who is working with me is really just wonderful, a godsend. I have this essay which takes up 40% of my total.... I've tried and tried to do it but just couldn't and I managed to get an extension.... the problem right now is that i have passed the absolute final deadline because the lecturer's contract ends so even if he wanted to he can't wait any longer........
I so wanted to do a god essay but now i cant even seem to do it... i feel like a fool.... i was averaging well in that course and really wanted to do it but now im going to fail it... worse still it means out of 4 subjects i woudlve only passed ONE,,, if I'm lucky................
I dont know what to do now.... im wondering if i could try to finsih it and send a soft copy to my lecturer but im really to mentally drained to do it......
I dont know if my problem might be ADD... might be anxiety... point is... I dunno. I just hope they test for everything when i go.
But right now.... it means I am nowhere near completing my degree which i should have completed by now. My father has been paying for my really expensive uni fees and i feel horrible.... he doesn't know whats going on and I'm not close enough to be able to tell him either....... i feel ive really let him down becaus ehe has been so generous.... i thought i cld get a part time job and at least pay for some of my own things but with my time management being this bad there is no way......
Now i dunno what im gonna do..... im too far in to quit now but too far away from finishing to continue..... I'm living abroad and I like it here and i want to continue living here but if i cant even complete my degree ho am i supposed to... i have never been so scared im my whole life... dunno where im going or what im gonna do.....

Ask for an Aegrotat pass.

Don't feel bad. There are ways that you can save to reach your goals

I dont live in the US.

As an international student, university fees are much more expensive. simply saving up will not help, im afraid..

Aegrotat might be possible.

Any reason why you can not come back to the US and finish are the credit transferable if this

Aegrotat

isn't possible.

Some times one avenue isn't possible but if we insist it be done only one way then we close off all possible options for success.

You could have some anxiety which would cause you to "freeze up".

I am not from the US. the standards for uni are very high back home and there is no way i can get into a uni back home.

i just googled aegrotat. sorry for the confusion, i have never heard the term before and thought it was only used in the US system.

as far as i know, what we get is a withdrawal w/o fail. so we dont fail but we dnt get any credit either. a doctor's note would probably only get you credit if it were a real emergency.
