When you decide to take action!

So, the last days it always been on my mind. How am I going to get that one course where our teacher (or whatever you say for someone at university) decided to put regular attendance as a criteria to pass the course or not. I tried talking to him if there is a way around for me but there is not the easy way. So now I read all the regulationframeworks (or whatever you call them in english) with all the details about my university's policy about the study, how to study, about exams and criteria for exams etc etc. and in the end I wrote a pretty long email to the chief of my department with the request to keep my name out of it and to make a decision soon. Friends of mine read the mail and where pretty impressed by what I found out and the style I wrote and where proud of me doing this step, while people who I study with been too frightened to take any action. Our teacher is really good with names and faces so he knows everyone, so I do can understand if they think, arguing with him puts them in a worse state during studies while others, I can understand this. but what would be against the whole course of 26 people signing the mail all together? Why isn't that possible? It is so typical, you can argue and be angry and it puts you in a bad mood, but taking action and do something against it, one don't.
After I clicked the send button, a great feeling of relief and relaxation went through me and it just felt so so good. It is somehow easy to put me in a bad mode, and to get me out there it is rather hard. That's why I am just so happy I tried my best with writing this email and now I can only hope and wish that our chief is going to do something about it. Somehow I know that my name won't stay out of it, mainly because I've been the one talking with him about a special way for me, but we will see how it goes. And in the end, I'm proud I did something then just going with something I really disliked and which is so clearly against my university's politics!
