Scorptatious

The summer semester started off kinda poorly. I went to my Physical Anthropology class only to find that the class I was taking is a co-requisite class to a main anthropology class. And at that point, I wasn't going to get into that other class by that point as it was most likely already full, so I just dropped it.
I guess it worked out though in a sense. Summer course are accelerated from 14-16 weeks to only 6 weeks. So the overall work load increases quite a bit.
Right now, I'm having trouble getting through Nutrition. I had a rough start by finding out the class was at an entirely different campus from the main one I usually go to. So I ended up being about fifteen minutes late. The kicker is, the other campus is just one building. Like, I don't understand that. Thankfully, I didn't really get in trouble and was still able to take the class.
We're doing a regular semester's amount of work over the course of only six weeks. And I'm having trouble keeping up. I got a D on both my past exams. Doesn't really help that the class homepage tells me "Great work on the exam! We are starting the next chapter." Don't patronize me...
And for some odd reason, I find myself having a hard time really caring. Like, I realize my education is important to me. But something inside me makes me think "What's the point? I doubt I'm even going to get an associate's degree in any shape or form. I can't even do high school level algebra. So why even bother trying to pass this class?"
I'm ashamed of feeling this way. And I also feel like a hypocrite as I did mention to Connor that you never know if you can do more than three classes unless you try. And yet here I am dropping classes and struggling with only one. A summer class sure, but a single class regardless.
Hopefully things will work out better in the next semester. At least the pacing of the classes will be normal again by that point.

So my sister is having issues with her ten year old son. She didn't give me all the details, but basically, he and his brother were making Mother's Day DVD's at school for her which talk about their mom and why they love her. His DVD only talked about how great things were before she and his father got divorced about three years ago.
Now, his dad is... to put it lightly... not a good person. He was kind of an ass towards me and he made promises towards me that he never kept. (i.e. helping me on my feet after graduating High School) According to my mom, he cheated on my sister several times throughout their marriage, he's a pathological liar towards everyone around him, and he supposedly got his son into thinking that the divorce was my sister's fault. So the relationship between her and her son is strained.
My mom then told me that I should probably talk to him about this kind of thing. Telling him about how much his Mom loves him and does for him, ect. As he really likes me and I could provide a fresh perspective on the whole thing.
I'm not really sure how to go about it though without going to the subject about his dad. As much as I dislike his dad, I don't want to influence his viewpoint on things just because he likes me so much. I'd rather he find out what kind of person his dad is on his own. It just makes me sad to see both him and his mother go through this kind of thing. Especially since she's dating another man for quite a while now and there's talk of marriage on the table.
