The difference I can see is you're not so good with self-discipline and you are not alone in that lol (I'm horrible at it and will put anything off for as long as possible if I can)

I wouldn't spend so much negative energy on worrying about it - He seems to want to continue supporting you so is getting something positive from the experience as well as you. Maybe it's the pride in knowing he's making you a better person.

I would take the good from it and not let the worry outweigh what is turning out to be a very close, special bond for both of you

Who knows, maybe when it's all said and done, you may have automatically developed the skills of better self-discipline hehe

Good luck with your studies and congratulations on the possible new scholarship!
