<p>Bluebayou,</p>
<p>You might be surprised to hear that I do not drink at all and I go to parties very occasionally. Come to think of it, I don’t even think my social life takes up that much of my time. (Defining stereotypes of BC, I guess…)</p>
<p>I think my problem, possibly learning disability - related, is that I cannot multitask at all. Handling the course load of five distinct classes is a huge problem for me.</p>
<p>For me, it’s frustrating to have to explain to my parents or anyone else why I did so poorly, because unlike others, I cannot just say I was slacking off, partying, or skipping class (I was doing none of those) - it’s a complex issue that goes further back.</p>
<p>Even more frustrating is being told by my parents, “but you did so well in high school” or “nothing could be wrong with you, just that you’re not working hard enough”. Back in high school, the course load was not as demanding, so I think my problems simply were not as apparent.</p>
<p>I did post in the learning disability forum.</p>
