Today was a good day until after six o'clock. That was when I started driving our new Honda Civic LX manual transmission home from driver's ed. I stalled no less than twenty times at a stop sign because I couldn't figure out why it was stalling (seriously, I took my foot off the clutch the same way I did before when it *didn't* stall) and then when I got to a major intersection, I missed the green light four times because the car kept stalling and it turned red before I could take off. My mom and I ended up switching places at the light. I was bawling in frustration, and she was all mad at me for doing that. Blehhhh. They keep saying, "You'll get the hang of it, you'll get the hang of it" but I've been driving manual transmissions for two weeks now and I've been driving them on an almost daily basis. I finally got used to our Volvo and now the new car is screwing me over. Aughhhh so frustrating. I wish we could have gotten a Prius. :(
So then I got home and checked my email, only to find that my supervisor for the online says that I "need frequent reminders to submit required assignments", "procrastinate and do not submit assignments according to the class schedule", "don't show any effort in the class" and that I'm failing.
What. the. Fuck.
I emailed my teacher about this a few weeks ago, because my supervisor was bugging me about this, and my teacher said that she had graded everything I've turned in. I am completely caught up, it's all on the grade page on Blackboard. I shouldn't be failing the class. I've worked hard on all of my assignments, and I've done all the assignments I should have done by now. My teacher acknowledges it, but my supervisor is ultimately the one who gives me the grade. And right now, he's failing me. It's complete bullshit, I've told him several times that I'm NOT behind and my mom has told him the same, yet he insists that I've done no work since the beginning of February.
aargh,
