<p>I’ve thought about this issue a lot more and I’ve spoken to my father about this, who understands me more than probably anybody else.</p>
<p>I’m definitely going to be staying here. We did some calculations and my academic situation, thanks to that blessed typo, is not nearly as dire as I thought. It’s amazing how strongly emotions can skew logic and rationality.</p>
<p>That said, I’m going to go see a counselor in person whenever I get some time. A true emotional breakdown has been averted for now, but I want to make sure it doesn’t happen again in the future–without taking the (rest of the) semester off.</p>
<p>Thanks very much to all who have offered comments and advice.</p>
