I failed my first test in bio

Can someone give me a hug :cry:

I keep thinking about dropping this damn class…but there’s something inside of me that says to stick it out.

On my online grade-sheet it says I’m getting a D but there’s still a lot of stuff that hasn’t been graded on there.

That’s a bummer about the exam; I know how much you have been enjoying the class.

Thank you for the consolation…

I’m going to stick it out. I don’t want to go further in debt to the VA and I need the degree.

Does your school offer free tutoring for that class?

Yes they do.

Also I have a pretty huge crush on a girl in the class. She probably doesn’t think anything of me – but it’s nice to see her a few times a week and talk to her.

Yeah, I would definitely take advantage of the help. That’s cool about the girl, too. :slight_smile:

Haha :slight_smile: thanks. Yeah it’s nice to know not all hope is lost when it comes to that stuff (in regards to the lady).

As far as tutoring, I probably should take advantage of that.

That’s too bad about your exam, but definitely try to continue with the class. Maybe talk with the instructor about strategies to help you do better on the next exam.

One really nice thing about this class is that there’s no final exam.

So I can pretty much ā€œbrain-dumpā€ all the previous unit and start studying for the current unit.

In fact I might start doing that tonight.

Hey @Moonbeam thank you for encouraging me to stick it out.

Talking with the instructor is probably a good idea.

Like I said in my previous post there’s no final, so I can just move on to the next unit and start studying that.

Edited to add ---- 4 cups of coffee today — I’m not sleeping anytime soon!! Ha!

Wow that sucks. I’ve been in love with a woman in the same class before. Impossible to concentrate. Although I guess it is good too in a different perspective.

Yeah I don’t if it’s because I am older than a lot of the other students or if it’s the AP’s – but I am always very scatter brained in class and I have a hard time focusing.

Could also be a symptom of the illness. Cognitive impairment is one of the things with sz.

Thank you for clarifying that. It probably is the illness.

Also did you tell anyone you are sz? I wonder if there is discrimination in academia.

No I haven’t told anyone. I did tell a girl who works in the veteran’s office but I doubt she knows anyone in the class I’m in now.

When I was in school it was cool to be able to sit with the good looking girls in class. That’s one of the many benefits of college.

If necessary, can you maybe get special accommodations for when you take exams?

Haha yeah it’s pretty nice. I have no romantic aspirations but it’s nice to smile and feel part of society.

Yes. Sometimes I would get to talk to these beautiful girls, but other times I just sat there unnoticed. I never was good at small talk anyway.
