Little advice?

<p>Well, let me start with my story.</p>

<p>I graduated high school at 17 instead of 18 like most people because of when my birthday falls, well. Orginally I was going to go to a real college and you know do the right thing blah blah, so I was accepted to a few colleges but then my guidance as well as my mother kind of made me feel sort of guilty because it would be expensive and really we couldn't afford 20 - 40k a sem. So anyways, sort of went into a depression ended up going to a community college which basically I completely screwed everything up by non attendance now I have 2 F's (over the course of 3 yrs) and now have started to move forward I guess.</p>

<p>Anyways my mother was *<strong><em>ed about everything because of the waste of money we paid and i didn't go which is understandable I would be *</em></strong>ed as well. Anyways this sem. started well I decided to take 2 courses online and 2 in school but then, the online courses i have been doing fine in but the 2 in school I seem to have a problem with getting out to go to class, I think I have some issues with being around people or something. Anyways it's almost 4 weeks into the sem. and I've missed 7 of one class and 11 of another, Would it be best to go in and talk to these prof. privately and explain my issue, and try and make up the work to get back on track or do you think I should just drop the classes and tell my mother the prof told me it was best to drop the courses before getting a failing grade. </p>

<p>I really want to get back on track but seems my mind is shot i have no problem doing the work but when it comes to actually attending I seem a bit off the beat and track as soon as I miss 1 it turns into 2 and so on and so forth.</p>

<p>altho its too late now, but didnt you get financial aid? you could have taken out loans? sucks to hear that you didn't get to do what you wanted.</p>

<p>anyways i would talk to the professor. explain to him what's happening. dropping the course would be just another waste of money. if he really recommends you drop the course then i guess go with that if you feel you won't be able to go on a consistent basis.</p>

<p>i don't really think what i've said has helped. i've been in a similar situation in that i'm constantly late to places now even though i used to be early all the time.</p>

<p>Yeah, I am going to see about seeing a shrink about my 'social' problems as well as try and discuss the issues with my Prof. and see if I can get a second chance at making up all the missed work. Thursday is the next day for my classes so I'll do it then, hopefully they give me the chance and a shrink can help me with my social issues.</p>

<p>University wouldn't really cost around 20k-40K with financial aid or if you went to state school. I mean I goto a private school and it cost me around 8K a yr (room and tuition)</p>

<p>Yeah I realize that now, but before I was made to feel guilty. As I said. Well hopefully everything works out. I need to get over my social issues.</p>
