Unfortunate news

Shadow,

I'm dropping your class not because of you but because I am too full of credits to be giving your class and the other class that I'm dropping the time that it deserves in order for me to learn what I feel you have the chance to teach me. I've been blindsided so many times this semester that I feel that I am just too overwhelmed to do what needs to be done for 18 credits of 300+ level classes.

I will be attempting to take your class again next semester or the semester after as I feel that you had the most to teach me over this semester.

You are a great teacher and this is why I'm dropping your class this semester, so that I can focus better on what you want me to learn.

I was gently nudged into taking 18 credits, which in most semesters would be about the course load that would challenge me, but this semester was just a train wreck of emotions, stress and inability. I thought that pressing forward a single semester would be easy, but I tripped and fell and couldn't manage to pick myself up after so many different things happened.

Thank you so much for being understanding and tolerating of my bullshit this semester. I hope that I have the chance to take this class again, this time with less shit happening to me.
