Hrmm.....difficult. I can associate with the burn out feeling. But then that is normal. The problem with taking the semester off is that once your out of the game it's hard to get back into the routine. During your time off you get into other things, Job, relationships, etc. and all of these must end once you restart the college life. In addtion you stand to loose some of the credits you've earned if you skip out on a semester. I can understand the feeling though. Perhaps a lighter course load this coming fall semester would be better. Less stress to deal with and your still in the game. I think that might be a fair compromise. You'll still be in school, but with more time to yourself.
