Rough Enough

You know you’re in for it when you get an exam back on Monday that you took the previous week and you set the curve in your group with a score of 68%. Ok, I think to myself, a minor setback. It’s no biggie, the first test is always the hardest, do better next time.

Wednesday rolls around and I head off to my concepts of management class. There we also get our exam back that we took the previous week. I get my exam back and look at the score, a C. Ouch! Not again! But wait there’s more. There is a note on the back page of my exam that says something about seeing the professor. So after class I go up to him and ask what he needed to talk to me about.

Apparently I had completely missed the point of the final question on the exam, all essay by the way, and that because I had done well on the other questions he decided to give me pity points so as to not kill my grade. Great! Not only did I get a C, I didn’t even deserve it! Grrr! Oh well, it was better than nothing and I had to admit it was might kind of him to not kill me on the first exam. So I thanked him and went home.

On top of this I am getting extremely conflicting advice from my friends about relationships. One says I am way out of line and am moving too fast, and the other says I’m not doing anything wrong at all. I needed a drink after that class on Wednesday so I went out to the bar with AJ and unwound a bit.

Thank the goddess the weekend is almost here. I think I need a few more drinks, and a hair cut! It always helps to look good when you do whatever it is you do.
