1. if you do switch, make sure you switch it to something you like. my input, you're not a cs or it person.
2. In the words of Kim to another EE, "If I can do it, you can do it. Don't let them keep you from getting the degree you want."
3. I see that there are a few things you could do. With the exception of this class that has you worried, I think you could work harder. Think Modern Physics. You were awesome in a few minutes time. If you spent more, I think you could have been more awesome and get an A. I do acknowledge that I do not know how much work you really put into things, but remember all those hours of you trying to not do your homework? If you had let yourself forget that you wanted to not do the work you could have been uber productive. Hell, you out did me with less time put into work, no? Perhaps you don't want to work more. If that is the case, than as I said before, RIT is not the place for you.
4. I could perhaps give you more input, but I think it would be rude when you are not here to respond to them.
Peter, you are not a failure. Am I a failure? As I recall I'm doing worse than you are. I am not a failure, not even close. The only thing I have failed at is being happy and successful here. I wish it could be different but it is not. I do not see you as a failure. You are not a failure.
Suggestions: before you say that your major is too hard for you, take other classes in EE. Evaluate if there are things that you are willing to try to improve on or change. Perhaps a time management or work ethic change.
From what you have said to me, you are in EE because it interests you. I think you would make a good EE. I think that with your life goals you may want to consider trying your hardest to do well in EE, graduating, then if you really want to go into English you can. I don't want you to look back on this decision later and think less of yourself for it. I don't want you to be able to say later that you ran away because it was too hard and there were things that you woulda/coulda/shoulda done and really see yourself as a failure for it. Perhaps another university would be better for you in EE.
