Man that sucks. Would it be possible for you to take a light summer course instead and get a job somewhere on or near campus to make money at the same time? You might want to look into that if your family is driving you crazy like that

Or even during the winter (next winter that is) take an easy course at school. Or spend a lot of time visiting friends from college and staying at their places. What would your family think about you being absent for those reasons (or does it matter)?
