F is for Fantastically Fucked!
So this semester has been going relatively well considering a full-time management job, part-time writing position, additional freelance writing on top of that, full-time school and now an amazing girl in my life. I was struggling in one class, but figured getting a C was pretty possible with a 40% final and a lot of prep.
Everything was moving into position until today put things in limbo. The three homework assignments in the class are all pretty nasty, and are group assignments. The prof is somewhat of a nazi and we have to do things like sign a form saying we all proofread the paper.
Now of course, I looked over it, but I didn't double check calculations. Turns out a member of my group had failed the class in a previous semester, and reused an answer WITHOUT making sure all the variables had been changed.
STUPID. STUPID. STUPID.
Anyways, this 6.67% chunk of my grade is now up in there, plus the whole cheating implications etc. Whee! If I merely get a 0 on the assignment, I'll be looking at attempting to get a 80 or so on the final to pull a D.
Damn.
Hopefully, with two seniors that are attempting to graduate in my group, we'll get a little leeway and maybe just fail that part of the assignment. All in all, I just want a D, want the course done with and want to move on to next semester.
