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.
