Please talk me out of this

Someone talk me out of adding Modern Greek to my schedule. Please.

I don't want to take five classes. I know that taking five classes is a bad plan. Especially when three of them would be language classes.

But my survival Modern Greek class yesterday was really fun. And I love learning new languages. And Modern Greek would be a really practical language for me to learn right now, and taking a class would help me learn faster than trying to pick it up on my own. And I really need to know more Modern Greek than I do, considering that I got flustered today and tried to use Spanish.

But there's no room for it in my schedule, and nothing that I can drop to make room for it. Unless I take five classes, which, as I noted, is a bad plan.

Please, someone, talk me out of this.

I bet it would be helpful...

How bad is taking 5 classes there? I get the impression that it's really, really bad. Hm.

Maybe you should concentrate on having fun in Greece... but that would be helped by taking modern greek, right? I guess I'm totally not being helpful in talking you out of this. Hm.

late comment is late, but anything that can help you get along in country better is a good good thing. Maybe instead of taking the class you could make a goal to talk to any Greek classmates you might have more than you usually would?

...yeah, I'm not doing a very good job of talking you out of it either. I agree that five classes would be a bit nuts though.
