She just took the f*ck off and didn't look back. No one I know looks down on her for leaving for awhile. I'm pretty sure we all wish we had the balls to do it ourselves.

Yeah you're right. At times, when things have gotten nuts (especially last spring, when my life was ruled by a precalc meant for people going into the sciences, which is just perfect for someone who's a complete spaz at math
), I've just wanted to leave and go somewhere else for a while. Hell, i don't have a problem with anyone who needs to leave school a while for a reason, be it stress or my friend Barry who, aside from being the ultimate pack rat (that's a story for another time), actually had to take time off cause he couldn't afford it, but either, do whatever you need to do so you could graduate sane, even if it means loosening your course load or running off to New Zealand or some other awesome place.
In other words Bee, it seems like the best option for you is to maybe cut a class or 2 that's causing major stress. How many credits are you taking this semester?
