<p>I've been taking Japanese since 6th grade (I am currently a senior working on my apps). I loved it, but I wasn't very good at it. I stuck with it because it was fun, but recently the Japanese teacher at my school left suddenly a month into the course. I never took AP Japanese (I was taking a culture class at the moment). I don't plan to major on it or anything in college, but I liked continuing it. Although there is a new Japanese teacher, she just wasn't the right fit for me and I dropped the class. I am still taking a rigorous course load (5 classes - AP physics C, AP Psych, Honors Calc C, English elective, Honors Data Structures/Adv programming languages).
Thanks for the help! I personally don't think it will make too much a difference but I have been stressing over ending my 7 year relationship with Japanese.</p>
