An email I just sent to my mother
Hey Mom,
I am still having lots of trouble with Hebrew, but this quarter is worse than last. Today we got our midterm back [the test was yesterday]. I studied A LOT for it with my friend Dorian over two days and I still did horribly. I am thinking of dropping the class. Or maybe dropping the class formally and still going to it and doing the work, just without credit.
I don't know. For me, I wasn't taking Hebrew for the grade but for the actual knowledge. YOU know how important to me my Judaism is. I don't think I will ever have a good grade in this class due to her teaching style and just the way the class functions. But I don't want to quit--and I cannot afford to stay in it.
>:-O ARGHHH!!!!
Okay.
There is the scenario.
What do you think?
Here is the email she sent us today:
--------
Jessica already said she'd come tomorrow, so I'm on.
I'm planning to go over prepositions and verbs. If any of you would
like to go over any other topic, please email me ASAP today, so that
I may be able to prepare for it in time.
I know some of you are terribly disappointed at the results of the
midterm, and so am I. But it is still only half way to the end of
the quarter, and significant dents can be made in the final grade,
provided you commit to doing something about work routines that have
not served you well. On my part, I'll be glad to offer Thursday
sessions to anyone interested in working to strengthen your
understanding and handling of particular subjects.
Again, anyone interested in discussing and reviewing particular
topics tomorrow at 10:00, let me know.

Now, I could go to the session. I suppose I am willing, but at this point I am not sure that will be enough. So yes, I am willing to drop the class and still show up. I suppose I could drop it, show up and go to Thursday sessions. I suppose I am just looking for validation that it is alright to formally quit. If it goes alright, if by chance my grade does improve, I could rejoin in the Spring Quarter.
Please write back soon, Mom.
Love,
Courtney

i fucking did not want to ever quit hebrew. if i had planned to i would have early fall quarter but i refused and I was damn proud. fucking leo.
i really don't want to quit.

and I am not sure if I will be allowed to continue otherwise.
