Ok here's the situation: Ive been very mentally and emotionally stressed this semester. Working and going to school has taken its toll on me. I have not seen my family for 3 years and now I have become homesick. I cannot take it anymore. I m thinking of taking a semester break from January to April. But, since there is a month holiday for Christmas during December can I work during the holidays and leave? Or, do I have to leave immediately. I am also intending to take summer classes when I return. Will I have any problem when coming back?
