I'm not in an extreamly happy place right now. Hopefully that will change. In the mean time:
To respond to Jillian:
My japanese professor took it upon himself to talk to a student friend of mine, who happens to be his teaching assistant, about how I'd opted to take the class as an audit in order that I could more easily drop it later. I call foul. First off, talking to a student about another student's academic choices is unprofessional and, frankly, rude. I don't appreciate being demeaned academically like that to a friend of mine. I opted to drop the class because I had to schedule other classes (for my theater third) over the class time. Thats what happens when you have a class that meets three times a week.... things have to get scheduled over it. I took the class in the first place because I wanted to have a chance to continue my Japanese without the pressure of worrying about my grades. I know about myself that the style in which Hershel teaches doesn't work for me... i don't learn well under him. So I opted to take it without the pressure of trying to be up to par which would enable me to work more on the Japanese aspect rather than the grades aspect.
It just galls me that he had the audacity to not only not respond to the email in which I told him I wouldn't be auditing anymore but also to express his opinions to a student.
It also doesn't sound as bad when I write it out because it doesn't have the history behind it.... he and I have been clashing over my academics for a long time... and its pissing me off that he a) this this about me and b) won't tell me, but will tell my friends.
Grr.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I'm distressed to hear about your grandfather... he was very kind to my mother and I when we were down there.
Also, Happy Birthday to my godson!
I miss you hardcore.
