<p>Okay, so I've had some critical health problems since last spring. I didn't want to delay my college endeavors either. The thing is that I had no idea what I wanted to major in community college and just picked physics for no reason as my first major. Maybe it was an abrupt choice, but I fell in love with the math classes I was taking (just Trigonometry, Pre-calculus, and Statistics) and I never had them before in high school. I got A's in all of those. I switched my major to math. Then, the next semester came and I was pumped for calculus. I had self-studied it a little bit before taking the class. By my just listening to what was going on into class, I earned a C because I couldn't find any time to study for it. I had taken chemistry, political science, and economics classes that were way demanding. Something I'd never experienced before because I had no time to dedicate at all to math. Also, the last day to drop with a W was the week before we had our first test in chemistry and I decided to risk it...I utterly failed it and spent 10+ hours a day trying to salvage my chemistry grade. It was bad enough that I only barely just managed to get to a C. I got pneumonia in during the summer while taking Calculus 2. Got a C in that class. I've been to the doctor a gazillion times this month, but I'm doing okay. I had to drop Linear Algebra for a W, but I'm taking it next semester. I'm earning an A in General Physics, an A in Honors English 101, and probably really an A in Honors History, but my professor grades on a curve that screws everyone over even if you technically do have an A. So I'm pretty sure I got a B in that class. I'm pretty positive I'm going to earn another C (trying very hard to near the end; too late to drop) in Differential Equations. It's not because I can't understand the material, I just don't have any time to learn it and actually do any of the homework. </p>
<p>I've made passing grades on all the tests without studying, but I haven't been able to do a lot of the homework and have bombed the quizzes. Started making perfect 10's on all daily quizzes for the last two weeks and completely understand the material now, so I should be fine on the final...just I'll have 4 C's and a +- however many points I have from my current 2.75 GPA. Now, I love mathematics. I don't have any other interest in other subjects. I wouldn't hack it as an engineer or a physicist and I don't enjoy the physics class I'm in one bit. I love to do mathematics, but it's not really coming across by my less than stellar performance. I know I have some ability, but I know I'm not a genius and have to put in at least some studying time to do well. My health has heavily impacted my situation, but my parents just...want me out. They can't take me living with them anymore and I don't have any friends here. I don't know what they'd do if I told them I'd want to stay on for another semester or year to get my GPA up but yeah. The thing I wanted to ask was: should I switch my major and go for something else? I don't really like much else. I hate writing papers with a passion, but I'm good at it. I'm good at arguing too. It comes natural. I fear though that health permitting, I might totally ruin my college track record even further if my health gets worse and that I can't give my math classes their proper attention. I need some guidance because I hate to leave something I love and set it aside because I might never return to it. But if I'm ever going to get into a respectable college...maybe I need to. And just realize my dreams are dreams and I won't be going anywhere with them. Any advice?</p>
<p>JUST AN FYI: I am a sophomore in case there was any confusion. Should end up with 66 units by the time I'm out if I go along as planned.</p>
