School Update

I just wanted to give an update since some of you have been wonderful and cheered me on. 💕

I’m dropping the Japanese 102 class. I find myself struggling to a degree that is beyond what I should be. With such a huge gap since I took 101, I was fooling myself in thinking I could just jump right in to 102. I’m dropping later today and every time I think about it, my heart breaks a little, but I know it’s for the best.

I still love the Japanese language very much and I’m still determined to reach my goal. I just need to give myself more time doing so. My plan is to continue by doing self study through the remainder of the semester and summer. I plan to take the course again in the Fall once I’ve caught up to where I should be.

Giving up or admitting defeat is not an option for me. I just think timing right now is really shitty. In addition, Spring is our busy season at work and it often leaves me utterly emotionally and physically drained.

I know that I don’t have to do updates like this, but I really appreciate all the encouraging words I’ve gotten. Talking about it here helps keep me accountable too. So, I hope you don’t mind the updates.

On the bright side, this less stressful schedule means I will have some time to write again! Of course, I have to make sure that I fulfill my study goals each day, but I should actually have downtime now. Whereas, before, I was doing homework or studying for about 5 combined hours every day. I was miserable. I don’t know why I thought that was okay.

But anywho, I hope to start posting things regularly again. I really appreciate you being with me on this journey. Thank you! 💕

Thank you @softumm! 💕 Your encouragement means so much to me!!! 😭🥰 I’ll do my best!!!

I've been through this and I know it takes a lot of courage and thinking to do it. It's not easy, but that doesn't mean you're less for dropping now when in fact, is extremely valid and I'm so proud of you for being so brave to face it. I know you can do it, I support you!
