I did the same a short while back, only a couple of weeks, came back refreshed and ready to go. If you're not enjoying it then there really is no point. Don't make p0ker a chore.

I think it is a wise choice to take a break when your confidence has been hit. I really believe you play better when you are feeling confident because you are more relaxed and make better decisions, enjoy your break and come back winning

Easing into online poker instead of diving in head-first will help acquaint the novice with many of the unique aspects of online poker. One such aspect that differs from live poker is the large number of hands one sees per hour. In general, this number will be over double the amount of hands that would be played in an hour at a brick-and-mortar casino, even if playing only at a single table. The speed can be overwhelming to novices, and may take a bit of getting used to.

Good thing you are taking the break. Not good when you push things too much, cause this can lead to bigger losses. good luck with your studies and dont get distracted too much from them with poker
