Hello
I have dropped out of university. Well that is sort of true.
Last week, and indeed the week beforehand, I was going to go home to talk to my parents about being ill and results from exams and such. So I I broached the subject gently and with a lie when I eventually made it home this weekend. It iasn’t really a lie, I merely posited I wasn’t sure what option to pick before I knew they wouldn’t over-react at the idea of me dropping out. The options are really just to try and muddle on with the course take a suspension or to drop out. Dropping out is not something I want to do but it is the best option. My parents agree. But dropping out brings problems.
Dropping out of university means that I am going to be a member of the general public. Being a member of the general public largely means I need to occupy one of three groups. Those three are 1] the employed, 2] unemployed getting benefits or 3] unemployed not getting benefits. Really it is only one of two which is employed or benefits.
Dropping out of university means that I need to think about where I am living. Either to stay in Aberdeen or to move home to Glasgow.
Dropping out of university has implications to my care.
My lease is paid up to the end of June and there is the option of getting my room until the end of August.
Everything is a bit complicated and having a girlfriend complicates matters a little further.
See if I move home then I 150 miles away from my current, pretty good care team and my girlfriend. This sucks because it means either doing something potentially illegal or least legally ambiguous by commuting the 150 miles for appointments or change care teams; in both cases the girlfriend is far away. Which sucks.
Getting a job would mean making appointments would become more difficultt regardless of whether I am in Aberdeen or Glasgow.
Getting benefits means a lot of hassle first to initial get it and then if circumstances change.
The girlfriend thing complicates things only because she may or may not be staying in Aberdeen due to issues surrounding her job.
Not entirelysure how this is all going to pan out.
