Spanish will be the death of me.
I took a semester of spanish a few years ago in community college before I transferred. My teacher was a high-strung woman from Cuba. Now, I have no trouble playing music for large crowds, public speaking, reading bad poetry, or singing karaoke sober, but on the final exam (which was a conversation), I froze. Completely blanked, forgot all the vocabulary entirely. That woman scared the absolute shit out of me.

I signed up for the second semester last fall, and was in there for one day before I dropped it for another class. I took the first semester again last spring, because I was so uncomfortable with it. I blanked on the final again, but came out with a B anyway.

This semester I completely failed the first test and nearly got a C on the second. Midterm grades aren't posted yet, but I expect a low C.

Language is not my thing. I struggle to remember vocabulary. I'm so right-brained (I was horrible at math also), and it really is harder to learn a language the older you get. But I desperately need to finish this, it's the last gen-ed class I'll ever have to take.
