Currently, I take a Chinese class once a week at our local library.  It's taught by an older gentleman and while he is super-sweet, I don't think he understands English very well.  At first, I really enjoyed going.  It helped me establish a better relationship with my Chinese student in class.  As time went on, we end up going over the hour limit.  We repeat and repeat, when in my mind I got it the first or second time.  I dread going now.  I don't look forward to it, but go because I don't him to feel bad.  I ended up not going to a college get-together on those nights because I was already tired and just wanted to go home.  I can't attend a book study that I really want to try out.
Therefore, I've made a decision.  While I will feel bad as the class dwindles down (there are only a few of us that show up now), I would rather spend that hour learning and practicing Spanish or going to a book study.  That's what I'm going to do.  I feel better.  I'm choosing to do what I enjoy.  
Is that too selfish of me?
