C- is still a pass, right? Is there any way to get the pressure and difficulties you've had this term taken into account? (When I was being a zombie!student, I was exempted from quite a lot of coursework... Not sure if I got any exam grades pushed up a little, too...)
(I guess the problem is that because you're still doing brilliantly in some classes, they might feel that it's just that you're finding some of the others harder... But it sounds like it's much more coursework and paperwork-heavy...)
i can do a report no problem... you want ten pages on (subject i know nothing about) sure! have it next week....
ts drafting/drawing/making perfectly symetrical things.. and combining "ink" and "perfect lines" and remembering all the steps. these are things that simply take me longer owing to my specific issues.
its ok, they just take me longer, they ARE harder.. much harder. its when you combine that with missing a week of school due to illness, stress, and confusion over some of the assignments..... plus, to be frank.. disorginaization this quarter... it gets ugly
yes a c is passing. i dont know if a C- is. i am hoping to get this pulled up by kicking rear on this last project. but no way can i get back up to an A.. and i am having my usual panick attacks and anxiety
for the MOST part its not the ability to do the drafting... (well other than the usual for someone with my hand skills)
its that it TAKES me so long to understand the directions... then it takes me so very long to actually DO them (thats the dyscalculia and spatial thing)\
now add in the issues at home and , well, its been a bit tough.
i could probably have managed that... but at least twice i got confused on the instructions.. i dont know HOW.. and did one asignment twice, while not doing another one.
there were also times i SWORE she said something in class.. and aparently i mis understood her. (like, ok we did this in class, you dont have to do it as homework.. but we did have to) and its me, not her, because no one else had that issue.
i have two weeks off before next quarter... i will certainly be trying to catch up

Does it mean anything? No. The diploma and my portfolio / skill set is all that matters.
Grades? Not important.

its just that a high GPA does help you get scholarships...
