paper towels as tissues

DeliciousDeth (21:24:17): I keep freaking out that I don't know if I should stay in this class or not. I don't want to switch, 1. because it'd be a hassle, 2. because I don't know if I'd be happy with it even if I did switch, and 3. because I really do want to challenge myself and get better... but I keep having these freak-outs about it. I am mostly following what he is talking about in class, but at least with this topic (German political system) I have absolutely nothing to contribute. Jacky and my mom seem to be hinting that they think I should try to switch, but even though that sounds like a good idea I still don't want to. I keep hoping that from here on out it will somehow get better. Could you help me out with an opinion?
theARTfoolDODGER (21:26:59): I think you should stay. Firstly, you have always been the best or among the best students in our german class. You can succeed in this level. I think it just seems a little overwhelming, a feeling which I share. Secondly, you should challenge yourself, and as I said before, you are capable of doing this class. You were put in it for a reason. I think when faced with difficulty we all often tend to think "OH NO! I CAN'T DO THIS!" even when we really can. So, my opinion is just hang in there. You will do well.


Yekko (21:49:03): if you accept the fact that what you're going through is pretty normal, then at least you can roll with the punches and understand it's temporary and you'll feel normal again eventually
Yekko (21:49:06): that does help a little



I keep telling myself, keep on truckin'
