I was doing well, had 2 jobs, an online class, started volunteering. I stupidly started talking to a new guy. No dating, just talking to someone new. We talked a lot. I neglected my class. I had many ups and downs in the short time I knew him. And now I'm failing because, like dominoes, as soon as a guy comes into my life, I forget who I am and become a complete loser. 

We've since stopped talking, but the damage is done.
