You know what I've learned...If you need some time off you need some time off. My family has been putting pressure on me since I graduated too....I went, I did poorly. I took a break, came back, and made the Dean's list! Sadly, I may need another break soon, for financial reasons as well as lack of motivation.

Will it take me longer to get through school? Certainly! However, I'm doing it at my own pace and on my own time, and I'm happy with it.
