No thats fine.
Just check your master cylinder then. It would be one thing that makes the pedal too soft or pedal drop. besides that check your slave first, make sure it's not leaking. Also check when you press on the clutch pedal, see if the slave moves the fork.
Shut up!!! Now sell me your wheels lol

thanks i bought a new slave cylinder and ill put it on tomarrow
Check the clucth hydruaulic system, bleed/flush the system and check for leaks.
Leaks can be found on the lines, where the lines connect, on the firewall where the M. cylinder meets the firewall, and sometimes behind the pedal, under the dashboard in the passenger compartment. If all the compnents on the hydraulics seem fine, you can suspect that it is a weakend pressure plate. Or sometimes, the return spring on the pedal can weaken and not return the clutch pedal all the way back to it's home position, this is happening to my friends s14 and the pedal does not return to it's home position but all the hydraulics are fine with a good clutch/PP. The pedal will only travel as far as the hydraulic system will push it back.
