One other thing is that there are a some arrogant profs here; and I am concerned about having one giving me 'orders', as I am not to have any other 'lords'. I highly doubt there will be a prof that will say, "please have your assignments to me by tuesday, Insha'Allah."

hola Lewis,

while this is difficult, have you considered the possibility that it is time to change schools? for education it is better to be in an environment in which you feel comfortable, that way you can get the maximum benefit from your classes and you have less on your mind (and therefore more room for knowledge).

learning is and should be fun and rewarding, not a chore and not something you begrudge doing. it is like exercising, the more you do it the more confidence you build in yourself and you can get on a high from the feelings of expansion and accomplishment. you do not want to lose that to the gloom of feeling on the outside. there shouldn't be 'school blues'

i'm a complete scholastic dork... if i were not a mother right now i would still be in the ivory tower majoring in some other new thing. lol even at most most of the time people can find me in the library or my study when my children are asleep...

que Dios te bendiga
