I know what you mean about the reluctance to drop; I was in Honors Calc last quarter, and even after receiving THE lowest grade on the midterm (a 31%), I was still heartily ashamed. Dropping classes in college isn't anything like dropping from IB to honors in high school. It's about looking for a better fit, not taking a really easy class because you're lazy/stupid. *Hugs* Seriously, though, if you think it's best, you should. I was *astounded* by how much better I felt about life in regular Calc.
