Dropping German 102
04/15/15
I would like to drop out of German 102 in the second semester of my first year because I felt like I needed to concentrate on my other courses more. I felt like I was struggling in my other four classes during the semester and I felt like German was the class that I needed to drop. I was going to drop the class after the third week of the semester but I forgot the deadline and felt like I should have waited to drop the class after the semester. I also haven¿¿t gone to the class since the third week and felt like if I went back to the class after the deadline I would have been to far behind to catch up. I have also missed all the assignments since the week that I stopped going to the class, and I also missed the final because I felt like I would have been to far behind and I¿¿ve known that I have wanted to drop this class for a very long time. I was very distracted during the deadline time and forgot to drop the class because I was writing essays. I should have dropped the class as soon as I knew I was going to drop the class. My brother was also in the same class and he didn¿¿t miss the deadline and I would also like to apologize for missing the deadline.
