I don't think that even if you shaved your head, gained 100lbs, and had big wart on the tip of your nose you could be classified as 'looking terrible'. Not with eyes like that!!!:kiss;
I used to have a terrible time with my Digital Imaging class which sounds sort of like the class you were talking about . I somehow scammed my way through it though .
Go out , have fun , enjoy your freedom!!!!
P.S. I agree with the previous quote , there's NOOOOO way that you could possibly look terrible .
