Okay so the bad news is I failed my third chem test. The really bad news is that I failed it because I'm a big moron, not because it was difficult. I'm really really pissed at myself for this but I will get over it. The semi-good news is that in order to pull off an A in the course (85 or higher) I simply need to average a 79.46% (my mad calculating skills right there) on the last two exams and the final while maintaining a high A on my laboratory grades. This is extremely doable. Especially since I will be attending two recitations now because mine is useless but I cannot simply stop going to mine because the professor of the recitation I want to attend has professional issues with this. That is fine, the more practice I get the better. I can't be bad at chem, it's 1/6th of my major. It is very important that I get good at it, and quickly. However I would also like to point out that most of this is not my fault. My chemistry in high school was pretty much nonexistent so this is the first chemistry I've had that I haven't had to teach myself. I was talking to my mom the other day and she is looking into getting my brother and sister outside educational stuff because she doesn't trust the school system. I'm so jealous. I wished she had figured this out when I was in high school. Apparentely she didn't hear me complaining enough during junior high and high school to notice. That's what I get for being the oldest child. Shafted once again. Oh well.
