The Bad Luck Continues

I'll just come right out and say it: I got three F's on midterms. Out of 4 classes.

That isn't a terribly good ratio.

Literature was my own damned fault and the teacher gave me a makeup type thingy so I should pass with at least a C: I hope.

Spanish? I think EVERYONE got a bad grade in that class for midterm. And to recover ground she admitted to writing one of the questions poorly and gave points out (for free) to ppl who answered one of two ways....And of course I wrote it an unknown third way >.< Which means I likely did not get the points I desperately need.

The good news is that I improved my score on Spanish exams by 7% :D The bad news was that made it 59%.

Go figure.

Linguistics?

I studied, right? I did the homework, right? I did work with a classmate, right? I did the reading, right? I did the study guide, right? I sat down at the test, and was confident and not lost of stressed out, right?

I still earned a 57%, fair and square.

I hate my life.

Oh, and my bicycle was stolen again. Irritatingly enough.

Off of my doorstep. I figure it was mine that was stolen and not any of my neighbors' (we all prop our bikes next to our doors at my complex) because mine was closest to the street. I'm going to go around the rest of the complex checking doorsteps and racks today. I will not be amused if one of my neighbors has it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

The good news is that my writing teacher likes my writing and I passed the Progress Report (our midterm. a 15 minute meeting and a write up pretty much) nooooo problem. I'm getting a C or a B, so life is good.

If I get a B, two Cs, and a D I'll escape getting on Academic probation next term. But I can't have any minuses: I know better. It'll screw everything up.

I'm starting to doubt even a D in Spanish is possible. And since I so unexpectedly got a D in linguistics last term, I would not be terribly surprised if it happened again. But short of miraculously earning a B in Literature (*laughs hysterically*) and an A in writing, I soooocan't afford to get two Ds.

Although if I did get an A, B, and two Ds I would have better than a 2.0 GPA....Hmm...

I'd be happiest, though, if I got one D, one C, and two Bs. That would be bloody amazing.

Hmm...Possibly I can pull it off....

But I've tried everything to improve my test taking skills. Mostly because of my Spanish problems. The more I do, though, the worst I do. I've never been so great at taking tests, but I don't think I've ever earned an F on my own power. Unless I left the thing blank. And that happened very rarely to me.

*sighs*
