[Kate*]

Tomorrow will be hard for me, especially because my professional wouldn't let me tell him about it because we never got around to it. Please go easy and tell me that it's okay to make mistakes. I need to learn that the sequence doesn't go "Kate makes minor mistake, Kate gets yelled at instead of helped (more than once), Kate stops trying and fails class."

I know you didn't cause me to think this way, but this is what I walk into your class believing/terrified of and you've turned class into everything they keep telling me I'm not ready for. I'm being brave to stay and try because if I can do it anywhere it'll be in your class. Please don't let it all fall apart.

I'm torn between hoping you cancel class and hoping you don't. I'm terrified of class tomorrow (see above), but aside from the fact that I like you, if you cancel then I've sat up here since SUNDAY night for ONE CLASS on THURSDAY afternoon!
