Inactive Account Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I got through high school on minimal effort with over a 4.0 GPA, SATs fine on the first try, and enough AP credit to get me out of about a semester's worth of classes. Naturally, college then proceeded to stab me hard in the face, and I reacted like a dumbass. I think I got like a 17% on the one math exam last semester. My achievement for this semester is getting off academic probation. Moral of the story: Don't be me, learn to manage time and ask for help on things before you're on fire.

Esau of Isaac Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) I got fucked over pretty bad in a couple of my classes after getting ridiculously sick and not attending class after I'd already missed a couple days in each out of laziness. So I've been playing catch-up quite a bit. Had poor scores on a few recent tests, and I'm pretty sure an exam I had a bit ago was at best a B-. Also, I have a powerpoint presentation in Japanese first thing in the morning, and I haven't begun memorizing any outline on how to proceed with it, since I forgot about it and decided to recycle one from another class. So I'm going to look like a total jackass by the end of the day as I feebly try to put together sentences using up-to-date sentence structure. I'm going to look like Stuttering Stanley up on the podium. It will be fucking awesome. Edited November 30, 2010 by Esau of Isaac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowofchaos Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Argh, lol. Those tests. Math 251. I hate those tests that are designed to make you feel stupid. Despite a GIANT curve and all, I hate it when they're designed to make you feel like you failed, by giving you questions you can't effectively answer.

Inactive Account Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Is it just me or is 251 a universal number for evil, evil math? That was the course I had issues with too (though wasn't part of the math department). For me it was the homework that was more of the issue: the course was effectively run by TAs, and they assigned problems they thought were interesting, not necessarily ones that would take less than 20 hours a week to finish the assignment. Of course, I handled it entirely wrong too, but the course is/was pretty damn hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
