Today I took a math test. It was upsetting. I felt prepared to ace it but when I sat down to take it I drew a bland on functions I had been studying. I hope I got by enough do do well after test corrections. I know that Roger thinks that we don't study for test because we have test corrections but I did study!! I hate being a bad student. I feel as though I'm draining the class and that everyone thinks that I'm really dumb or lazy. I know that Roger's good opinion of me has worn off and that at this point I'm just a strain on his patients.
In case I haven't said it already I really need to pass this class. In reality I only need a quarter credit of math to graduate. I thought that I was set because I was told that the Brain Game sixth period could be applied towards Math but that was later denied by everyone who had miss led me (I'm not angry at them, just the situation). On top of that for almost two months I was taking Advanced Algebra while taking other Columbus State classes whose credits were required for my graduation. At that point I was still under the impression that my math credits were out of the way, so I concentrated (a hell of a lot of energy!) on passing French and English Comp thinking that I could put Math on the back burner. After I got a JB for my interim all the Senior Advisors freaked out because they thought I wouldn't graduate (much to my surprise). So I've had a month to bring up the grade that I thought I didn't need. On this last section I've done much better so hopefully with this next load of homework I'll have brought up my grade by enough to go to St. Croix for two weeks and still graduate.
I keep putting off talking to Roger about my grade standing but with this Friday I definitely need to talk to him and with all of my homework turned in I hope the conversation will be a positive one. Tomorrow I get to go to school for Math Study Hall to get some homework questions answered before I turn it in and ask at what time 3rd period is during Dos de Mayo.
Until next time...

The title made me giggle c:
I've been doing that with math tests lately-- I'll completely blank. :[ Hopefully you didn't do as bad as you think, then test corrections will make it even better.
oh-- did you find out what time third period starts??
wait, which did you like better, the SAT's or the ACT's?
i'm probably going to be taking courses here at CSCC next year.
wow, i just read your blog :P. dang, that sounds frustrating. i hope roger turns a good ear towards you...or...something. what i'm saying is, good luck with your conversation :P personally, i find it impossible to study for math, so i find it impressive that you did any studying at all.
I liked the SAT's much better than the stupid ACT's, personally.Thanks for the encouragement, I woke up late this morning and missed math so I think the conversation is going to have to wait until Monday:(
Roger is super great and extremely patient. Don't underestimate him. He loves helping people!!!
You probably need to go to math though. :)
