I did it - dropped the class

It was SO hard to go in there and talk to him! I felt so bad after he had used my paper as an example and everything.

So I came up with the paper and he gasped and put his hands over his eyes. He joked, "nope, not signing it" - then he said, "why can't it be one of these guys dropping that I DON'T like, why does it have to be my favorite student?" (again joking, kind of). So I explained changing my major and not needing the class. He said he totally understood, even he wouldn't take it if he didn't have to. He said he'd miss me, wished me good luck, pat on the back, etc. I almost teared up! I hate feeling like I disappointed one of my teachers. I'm so thankful for the relationships I've developed and the interactions I have had with my professors over the last 2 years, that has been the best part of school for me. I'm really going to miss him, he is such an awesome teacher.

Anyhow - I still think it was the best choice, but I feel kind of sad about it.

Congrats ! It sounds like it went well.

You are smart to build relationships with profs. You may need references in the future.

YAY for getting the class dropped!

I always like when I feel like I have a good rapport with my professors too.

That's good that you were able to drop it finally, it must be a relief.

Just clarifying -- you mention that you are dropping because you are changing your major? Is that from the previous discussion of changing to the science degree? Trying to get caught up.

Yep, dropping because of the major change. I am changing late in the game (I already have about 65 units) so any extra class I take is going to count against me (you can only take 30 hours over your major here, then you have to pay hefty out-of-state tuition rates) I am already going to be over the 30hr limit, but any units I can lower it by now, the less out-of-state tuition later.
