I am in such a bad mood! Failed my midterm (xposted)

I did terrible on this. I think this was possibly the worst grade I have made in my entire life. It cost me almost 10 points off my total grade for this class. I am going to have to work really hard now to pull up my grade. I feel like crying. Wah!

Oh no

Sorry about that. What course are you taking?

~~Macroeconomics~~ Actually it is Microeconomics. I keep mixing them up. It's a lot of fun. NOT!

Oh, I took the intro to macro last semester, I absolutely loved it! Part of it because I had an amazing teacher.

Oh no I am so sorry. I hope it is not to hard for you to pull your grade up.

Actually I just updated my post because it is micro and not macro. I keep getting them mixed up. I don't know how anyone could possibly love this but if you want to love it well I guess you can.

I like the school I go to in a way but it is very self-taught. I get frustrated because it is more expensive than other schools and I feel like I should be getting more actual teaching than what I get. All of my classes have been like this.

Oh yeah, it would be very frustrating if it was self taught. I don't think I could do that, I learn the most when someone is teaching me. I don't think I could do it on my own. I understand

Oh Patty that sucks! I hear that any of the micro or macroeconomics really are a rough class.

I think they are.

The good news is she said she would be grading it on a curve. I think this will bring my grade back up. I just need to pull it together for the next three weeks.

Oh Patty! I'm sorry!! That sucks buttmonkeys!

I'm the worst when it comes to math and things like that... so I can feel your pain. I hope you'll be able to salvage your grade over the next few weeks.

That's funny, I'll have to remember that one.

I am so sorry, Patty. I keep thinking about going back to school, but I know there will be those classes that I absolutely hate (math, science, history). I hate studying, too, I'm the worst at testing.

Ugh I hated my Macro class.. never even attempted Micro.. I had the worst teacher too. I definitely think the teaching makes a difference. Sorry you didn't do so well. The curve will help. That means that everyone else didn't do as well either so at least you're not alone.
