Academic Plan
As far as my future plan is concerned, my main goal is to get healthy and hopefully return to Queen¿¿s and complete my undergraduate degree. Currently I remain on a lower dose of anti-depressant and meet with my family doctor but I am also seeing a naturopathic doctor who is also councillor. So far the lower dose of anti-depressant allows me more focus. I also have been getting Neurofeedback training where I¿¿m seeing results quickly. I plan to continue this course of treatment in combination with more behavioural and cognitive therapy and possibly acupuncture in the future. I hope continuing to seek professional attention will keep me on track and provide an assessment towards the end of the summer to see if I am able to return to Queen¿¿s to have a successful year. Myself and my doctors will also be mindful about how much I can handle in the next year; whether that means taking a lighter course load or taking a leave of absence. I plan to retake MATH 121 next year as I requested to drop it. As for the credit standings, I hope these will allow me to take upper year science courses and eventually let me succeed in a science program. I plan I be more attentive to what my health allows. If I return to Queen¿¿s, I will be in an undeclared major to allow a lighter course load. Also I have started researching councillors in Kingston to ensure I am set up in the fall and for the rest of my Queen¿¿s career. Dr. Lacoursiere has said she would continue to work with me and I plan to meet with disability services as needed. Assuming that I feel well enough to return to queens, I would like to work with an academic councillor to plan out each term and get some input into how to get in down time and time to exercise while I balance academics.
