I was damn close to dropping out last year. The school was pushing my mom to get the papers to sign. I could see the disappointment by the way she acted for a few days. I fell for the guilt trip and figured I'd make these last two years. I passed all the classes that year and last semester...this semester looks good also.

School is not really that hard just do the work while you're there and forget the homework/minor projects and then come back and pick the grade back up with tests. Draw and write every chance you get too, heh. I always have some drawing under my other work.
