That is an easy one, nobody cares. This is happening to myself right now, I have a class here at college where I have put all I can into it, and according to the grades, I am failing all over the place.
I am not dumb, I just think that having a class once a week for 50 minutes is the most retarded thing imaginable, think about it, it might sound good, but what happens when all your other work takes over, that is more important than that other class, you kinda forget about the "easy class"
But the worse thing about something like that class, is when somebody who is a higher up in that class says, "This class is more important than any other class" ummmmm NO, we don't pay all the money to go to college for one class, we go so that we can make a living someday

Drop out for God's will: foolish or wise?
A couple weeks ago, I mentioned to my roommates that a person had dropped out of our school to go and do ministry work in Mexico, as I had said that, another guy on my floor had walked in and asked to repeat what I had said. I said the same thing to him, and he said that the man was foolish to drop out, because he did not finish what he originally came to school to do, which was to get a degree in Journalism. My other roommate asked why he thought it was foolish, since the dropout had followed God's will to go and be a missionary. He responded by saying, how did he know that it was God's will, it could of just been something that he thought was a good idea at the time.
Now as this is going on, my other roommate is sitting at his computer, facebooking away as he normally does at night while trying to do his homework, and I was trying to play Ratchet and Clank on my PS3, but after a while I got more into the conversation that was becoming more of a debate on what is the correct thing to do. My other roommate had moved to the floor since his chair had been taken. So when the one debating that dropping out is foolish said that the ultimate goal of a missionary is to not get souls to heaven, but to have a personal relationship with Christ. That line interested me, so I looked it up, and it said that the ultimate goal was not to have just a personal relationship with Christ, but to make non-believers accept Christ through personal testimony. I did not show the debaters, but I did show the roommate sitting on the ground, he chuckled as he read the line. The roommate that was debating was trying to prove why it is a bad thing to drop out to do God's will, who are you (the other person) to decide what is right and wrong, but really the other person would not listen to anything of what they have said, since they follow more of a logical side of how the world works and thinks that spiritual thinking is real, but does not think it can be logical.
After a couple more minutes of listening, I heard out in the hall some more guys coming back from a Wendy's run, so I went out to hang out with them. They asked what was going on in there, and of course I told them the story, and they thought that it was alright to drop out, because someday they might come back to their major and finish what they have started. One of the men that were there said something that is probably not the best thing to say about a person, but they said it anyway.
After about 20 more minutes of them debating while I am sitting out talking with the other guys, it ended with apparently no clear winner. After the other person left, he was bombarded with more questions by the men sitting in the room asking if he was sure that it was not Gods will, he talked with them for a few minutes and then walked away.
Now the question is, was the man right for dropping out for the apparent purpose to go out for God's will, or was he extremely foolish because he should of finished his higher education before doing something like this.
You decide...
