I'm trying one more semester, and then that's it. If I fail, I'm going to try writing at home, trying to earn some money. That was the purpose of college, to be able to get a good job and make more money than I can without the education. I don't even know if I could handle a job because of my OCD and panic right now, but I figured I'd try. Next semester is a couple of acting classes, Effective Speech (an online class) and Elementary Spanish I (also online). I'm not even sure anymore of wanting those classes, although I'm glad to have a couple of online classes. I'm a little nervous about one of the acting classes, Stage Makeup, because my OCD has issues with that, plus if I can't get the makeup off easily, I can get panicky. I basically just want the Acting I class.

good luck.
what sort of thing are you doing in the acting class- by that i mean, do you have to learn a play (like shakespeare) and do that, or is it random.. and you are just given sinarios you have to act out.
i remember that's what we did at school.. when it came to acting, we were all given situations and we had to act out those situations- but i never did any myself because of my anxiety about speaking in front of people and performing in general
with the spanish, i did some of that too.. i actually really enjoyed spanish
good luck
