obligatory freak out post
we got back group project grades in larry's class, and let's say i wasn't expecting them. at all. i thought i was golden in that class- i rocked that paper out- but it now looks like it will take a near perfect score on the final to get an A- in the class. it kills me- i actually did all the work, i've done all the reading, i've really cared about that class, and the BEST I can do is an A-?!?!
and DRA 155 with Jon is a similar situation. Done well with the readings and in class work, but the paper... not well enough. It's going to take something extraordinary on the final to get me to the A-, which is not a place I'm happy about being.
I'm completely, totally screwed with p-chem and MCB 122. P-chem because of the midterm debacle, MCB 122 because I have so much reading to do before the final, and I have no time.
I did well on the MGT 160 midterm, but haven't understood any of the recent chapters. Financial management is just not easy for me- but once again, I don't have the time to salvage that lack of knowledge.
MGT 150? There's no final. But there is the massive group project. I need to do the interviews tomorrow morning, we have data to analyze, observation data to work in, a paper and a presentation to do by Monday night. All this- with a group member that will be gone for the next three days.
And to top it all off, turns out I can't get my old Foothill transcript online, and to turn in my petition to the dean's office, I need that, and badly. So that means I'm doing the interviews at seven tomorrow morning, and then hauling ass to Los Altos to get the transcript so I can turn the petition in by the end of the day tomorrow. No pressure or anything.
I'm more than overwhelmed-- I'm scared. For not pulling it together when it counts most. If you can't survive academia, how the hell are you supposed to survive out in the real world? Feeling like I'm failing right now is not good, when I'm on the verge of job hunting and pretending to be an adult. Who the hell hires the person who couldn't do well in a freakin theater class?!
It's back to the books with me. The only thing that can help now.
