'Incomplete' until I'm finished

Within the last few minutes, I've decided that it is necessary for me to request an "Incomplete" grade for my Political Science: American Government class. I feel that it is my only option in order to avoid a lower-than-satisfactory grade for both that and my English Composition II class.

I will be required to complete the remaining assignments by August 23, which gives me an additional month. I should have considered how much of a challenge it would be to complete two courses within an eight week period. I dedicated most of my efforts toward my English class, as it is the only one with deadlines for each assignment, where as the other has only one deadline for all assignments--the last day of the semester.

So I will place myself in "Financial Aid Warning" status until my Political Science assignments are completed within a month. At least I can focus the last 48 hours of the semester on my final essay for English, and have enough necessary time to complete my Political Science assignments and exams. This way, I will achieve a much better grade in both classes.

Smart academic decision.
