SkydiveNFlorida 0 #1 December 10, 2003 I don't think I did very well on my Calc II final today I worked so hard in this class and really wanted an 'A', but I am about 98% certain that i'm coming out with a 'B' now. With 5 credits worth of weight for this, and no chance in hell of getting an 'A' in my Chem class, I am looking at a big drop in my gpa this semester. It'll all be over Friday after my Chem final. Then I can sulk for the evening and drink myself into a state of semi-happiness. I need a hug Angela. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelel01 1 #3 December 10, 2003 (((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))) And remember, they're just grades. I know they're important, but a B in Calc 2 is still awesome! Be proud of yourself! Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AggieDave 6 #5 December 10, 2003 You're getting a B in Calc II? Shit, I failed Calc I TWICE before I changed from Computer Science to a liberal arts degree. So, *hug* (people like you make me feel like a moron)--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveNFlorida 0 #6 December 10, 2003 Thanks, girls... But unfortunately a 'b' student doesn't get the scholarships. I really really wanted this 'a'. Math is my fav subject and it was my only chance at an 'a' this semester, and I really worked hard on it. A 'b' wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't put so much effort in, but now I feel like I failed, even though I didn't "fail", ya know? Thanks for the hugs and for the encouragement, I really need 'em.

champu 1 #8 December 10, 2003 bleh, it's all about learning the material, not getting a grade. I did terrible on the tests in the calc III class I had to take (way back when) because I sucked at memorizing all the lousy properties. I'd get the solution down to an integral I couldn't solve, but my grade still got reemed. All the courses I've taken that rely on calculus don't care if you remember all the details, most of the time they're even given to you, you just have to be familiar with what's going on.

So, *hug* (people like you make me feel like a moron) Dave, some people just don't get math. Others, like myself, do good in math and are not so good at some other subjects, or even real life situations. I am sure there are lots of things you excel in!. It just sux that I was supposed to be pretty good with this and I end up getting a 'b'. I mean, if it were another subject, i'd not be so upset. But, I like math, and I really worked at it. :( Quotebleh, it's all about learning the material, not getting a grade.

That's so good to hear! I have a long way to go, yet, so until I get out in the real world... guess i'm screwed:*( I'm feelin' the love. Thanks all! Angela.

kitof1976 0 #13 December 10, 2003 You know what... think about it!!!! It really doesn't matter what you got on your test. What is it gonna matter in a year? You know I was just like you when I was in college. Always trying to get an A, really cared about my GPA etc... The bottom line is that you will forget all that after you graduate and you get your first real carreer job. On the second job... they will barely even look at the college education. All they care is that you have experience in something and half a brain that functions (that is what college does for you.. it proves you are reliable, hard working, and that you have a brain that works!) So relax hun!!! A, B, C it doesn't matter...as long as you pass the class it's all good! Enjoy being in college! that won't last forever! "We see the world just the way we are...

No, i'm about 98% pos that it isn't an A. If by the grace of god the professor decides to give out A's, then maybe i'll get one, lol! I doubt she will, though. mmm, beer. Ok, i'm studying.
