So Much for My Future
So, I came down with a pretty rough head cold on Thursday afternoon, complete with an intense headache, but I decided to go ahead and take my 3 ½ hour Advanced Accounting exam that evening anyway. It turns out that wasn’t such a great idea. I ended up making a 51.5 on the exam, which was the lowest grade out of the 131 students in the class. No one else was even particularly close to doing as horrid as me, one person did make a 58 and everyone else passed. So, I’m pretty fucking stupid, right. Test counts 25% of the grade. Not sure if I’m going to be able to graduate at this point, I definitely need a C in the class or I won’t, but even with a C I would still need to have decent grades elsewhere so that I have a 3.0 GPA, which you also need to graduate. I have a 3.19 right now.
In the meantime, I have no clue what I’m doing in my Economics class and fully expect something resembling another 51 as soon as I take a test in there. So, yeah, I’m pretty fucked, and my whole life goes on hold if I actually don’t end up graduating in May, which at my current pace I definitely won’t be.
On a brighter note, I am starting to get over my cold.

But you’ve got that job anyway, right…? ~I’ll be

Yes, intense college exams and illness don’t mix well. I hope you’re able to do well in everything else this semester so you can pull through on the May graduation. If it makes you feel any better, I felt like a total idiot for getting a bunch of MULTIPLE CHOICE questions on an OPEN BOOK EXAM wrong last week.

I don’t have any job if I don’t graduate.

i’ve decided i officially hate exams since a few months ago when we did a multiple choice one for science and got less marks than my friend, who was just colouring the dots in sequence so she could make a pattern. don’t go too hard on yourself, advanced accounting sounds really difficult. RYN: thanks for your note. i think my problem is that OD has become more about friends than me, but maybe…

That sucks pretty bad. Had you not taken it on Thursday because of your head cold, would you have been allowed to retake it? Have you tried talking to the prof about it? I’m sorry things are going pretty rough for you right now.
