Academic Plan: A plan has been initiated to catch up in MUSC129 and to avoid this occurrence in the future. I dropped the advanced ear training course, MUSC227, to lighten my study load for this year. I hope to register in MUSC227 the following year to complete my ear training. MUSC129 is also a course that is designed for individual study over the whole year; moreover, I have an advanced ability in piano. In addition, these are the courses that I am taking for Fall semester: MUSC103, MUSC292, MUSC261, and MUSC120. Due to a lighter course load and the easier design of the course, MUSC129, it will be easy for me to catch up. I already have an advanced background with the material, and I have been practicing for this course on my own while waiting for approval. I hope to avoid this situation in the future through communication about my disorder with my professors.

Additionally, I have initiated a plan to help with my mental health. I have been taking a new medication that will help manage my anxiety levels. Near the end of Fall semester, I plan on meeting with my family doctor to see if there is an improvement with my mental health, so that I can make sure that I am capable of managing my anxiety levels for Winter semester. Also,
I am frequently seeing a chiropractor (Dr. Ali Houde-Shulman at Queen Street Chiropractic) to aid with nutrition, exercise, and pain management. I will avoid this in the future by managing my anxiety levels through various self and medical treatments.
