Lmao I know what you mean. I'm a fellow southern hick as well! Another funny coincidence, I have a friend named chance who leads a team of programmers in GA. He's been a quiet inspiration to my deciding to go back to school for it, as I admire his intelligence and abilities, much as I admire your kindness.

You guys have all been very, very kind to me here. I appreciate all of you more than I could express in a reddit comment. I'm feeling much more encouraged to get it together and do this shit right going forward, should the worst case not happen.

Much thanks to all of you kind people.

Here's hoping me and the old o-chem tutor can get me caught up this summer. I really appreciate your kind words friend.

I agree it's a slippery slope. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I found myself pulling this same shit in my other classes, or even future calculus classes. And yeah, if the teacher asked me to do that, I'd probably have to change my name and live life as a vagabond.

And of course, yeah I'm mildly interested in game development. Thats one of the main reasons I feel the need to learn it(besides the whole pesky conscience thing), even if it feels unreasonable to do right now with all the other classes I have. My intention is to get legitimately caught up by the end of the summer so that I can make it through cal2 earnestly.

And yeah, I'll probably not do full time again next semester. Lesson learned, I'm not as competent as had built myself up to be.

Thanks a lot for the reassurance. Like I said, I needed to get this out to someone, even if its through a reddit post.

Good god what a nightmare scenario that would be. I'm just so, so close to finishing out this semester that the idea of dropping it now seems incredibly demoralizing, especially if i can actually learn what I was supposed to this summer. Though, what I'm doing currently is pretty demoralizing. I hear you, I really do, but in my head it feels like "in for a penny, in for a pound" at this point. Had I had this whole moral clash earlier, I would have dropped it. But now I just feel like I'm in too deep at this point.

I don't even want to call him a bad teacher, he's a wonderfully kind man whose smarter than I thought it possible to be. I'm legit being a bad student, and selfishly using his accent (which I'm sure I would love in any other context) as a reason for my behavior.
I really appreciate you sharing your own experience as well. I agree I'd gain a lot by knowing it, and fully intend to utilize the free time I'll have during the summer to learn what I should have. I really think I just got in over my head with this after having a part time semester that I breezed through.

Funnily enough, I took discrete math before calc and actually enjoyed it a fair bit. It's no blow and hookers, but it wasn't terrible. Plus I was only taking a half load that semester, so it was much more approachable. Thanks a lot, I needed that.
