When you're doing really good, feeling well, and pretty confident about yourself, something ALWAYS smacks you on your face and says wake up idiot.
Moral: Never be confident and always be paranoid of something bad happening. That way when it does, you won't feel as bad... (Sucky moral - yes, serves a real purpose - yes, happened to me - all the time)
I hate math. I have always hated math. Math is evil... Period.
So I bomb my math course. I was expected a C or better. I get a D+. Now my schedule is all messed up. For the first time in my LIFE I get a final grade of a D and have to goto summer school because of it (to keep me on track and make up lost time otherwise I'll be back for one semester after my senior year for one course. ONE DAMN COURSE.). But wait, that's passing so why are you bitching? YOU WANNA KNOW WHY? Because the of friggin high standards that my damn program has which is aimed at driving students out and ignoring the ones who really try.
What do I mean? My department has a requirement that your average has to be higher than a 2.5. A C is a 2.0. So the program is weeding out all the people who are average. What does that mean? Lemme tell you. I went to my counselor about this (because I am now on academic probation) and we tried to figure out something that I could to to bring up my GPA. She looked at my courses and actally said, "all these C's are killing you". It's not that I'm getting mixed A's and F's. It's that I'm trying my best in all my classes and I'm jsut pulling C's. Why am I pulling C's? Life. I'm gonna leave it at that. Wanna know more? Read the archives...
You wanna know the kicker? How fscking stupid do you have to be to take a math course three times? ... Guess what?!? I AM! This will now be the third time taking the friggin course. I resigned the first one because I saw this coming (thank gawd). Now I get a D+. And now I have to take it again... Math will not leave me alone. This is the only Math course I have left and I'll be out. Nope, not me. Can't get by this one...

Why can't I win... :(

sorry to hear that, which course is it? I might be of some help, fairly adept at math.

Linear Algebra... A supposedly easy math course...
