The truth

Song of the moment: Spiderwebs by No Doubt

I wrote this letter to my Drama teacher explaining why I "have" to drop both Drama classes. All of this is true, except for my "mom's financial crisis" thing. I just used that lie as an alibi so that she'd let me drop her classes. The reason I wrote this letter as opposed of talking to her in person about it is the probable situation that I might end up exaggerating the truth in result of my own self-pity and maybe even start crying uncontrolably. I'm such an emotional girl it hurts.

Subject: Hi, Cathy it's Mil

I have to drop Drama 1 and 2 because I just got a temporary seasonal job at Gotchalks, and I want to work as many hours as I can so I can help my mom out in her current financial crisis.

Also, as you may have noticed the last time I was in the Drama 2 class, I was more unsociable than usual and my performance was not one of my best. I've been struggling with the class since the beginning of the year not because it's too hard for me, but because I still haven't gotten accustomed to the people in it yet and I'm constantly battling my limit on patience. I'm not used to being in such an active class where I practically have no real friends or confidants to whom I feel comfortable socializing with on a daily basis.

After I performed my monoluge last week, I was quietly crying to myself as I tried my best to watch the other's work in progress performances. It's hard for me to be myself in that class, or to express my true feelings. I don't know if you've noticed, but last year, I was a completely different person in Drama 1 as opposed to the days when I had Drama 2. I feel like I don't have a friend in Drama 2 who I can really relate to or have a relationship with in which there consists a true, mutual bond.

Aside from my emotional problems in class, I'm also going through problems in my home in which I would rather that speak of, but all of the stressfull elements at home and at school is taking its toll on me and dropping Drama in general will help ease the pain that I'm going through.

I'm sorry I can't talk to you about this in person, for I might start crying while I tell my story and end up not making any sense at all. Thanks for your time and I'm sorry for letting Leiland and that girl from Drama one who needed a scene partner down.


The truth in short and honest cruelty, I just simply hated everyone in the Drama 2/3/4 class. I, of course, couldn't say that in the letter, so I just expanded the short version and took out the "hate" part of it. I know she never would have let me drop the class if I simply told her I wasn't having fun in it and I don't feel like taking it anymore because everyone in it sucks. I also made myself look really weak and vulnerable, so she HAS to let me drop the class now.
