On day 275.5
I dropped my summer school class in fiction. The professor was super high maintenance and I can’t do that. Rules and rigidity to an extreme don't work for me as a working professional. I am hoping I get half my money back and don’t get a W but if that happens, whatever.
My MFA was supposed to be joyful so negativity is something I will not tolerate. Professors that assume everyone may use AI so have special rules irritate the hell out of me. Why would I do that in a MFA program? So now I have to talk to my advisor and figure out a plan. I think I can still graduate as long as I take a poetry workshop in Spring along with my 3 thesis hours.
After I talked to my sponsor and she was supportive of my decision, I made the call. The thing is that my anxiety just dissipated once I dropped the class. The class was so much stress and so confusing technology wise. It wasn’t worth the stress.
So now, I am happy and free both from alcohol and my fiction class. Here’s to decisions that protect our wellness. On day 275 and a half.
