Hollywood life is definitely a full time job.  So when Emma Watson took on Brown University in the middle of her Harry Potter career, I was pretty impressed.  But I was also wondering just how well she’d be able to balance all of that and still excel at both. Well, it looks like it’s become a bit much for the young star and she’s ready to take a break from education.  But just for a bit.  She shared the decision on her site:

Hi everyone

As you know, I love Brown and I love studying pretty much more than anything but recently I’ve had so much to juggle that being a student AND fulfilling my other commitments has become a little impossible.
I’ve decided to take a bit of time off to completely finish my work on Harry Potter (the last one comes out this summer) and to focus on my other professional and acting projects. I will still be working towards my degree… it’s just going to take me a semester or two longer than I thought : )

Hope you are all well! Thank you for all your continuing support.

I actually think that’s a very wise decision.  Why keep burning your candle on both ends when you don’t have to and you are likely to fail a little at both tasks.  Emma is a very dedicated person and I think she is doing the right thing here.  Kudos girl!
