Japanese final

[icarus]

All my grades have been screwed.

I got my Japanese final chapter test back. My worst fears are confirmed. An 87. The mistakes I made were primarily easy, mostly stress/panic.

I did my oral presentation today. Fucked it up because I just didn't have enough time to work on it and my confidence level was just not there. I had two other finals, plus I had to work this week. That's 15% of my grade.

The fact that it was embarrassing and humiliating was just the cherry on top. (I normally love oral presentations and am great at them.)

My Philosophy final last night, I think I did fine on the first half of the test. The final essay question... *shakes head.* Because Philosophy was backed right up to my work schedule I often had to turn in assignments late. So I got dinged on four out of fourteen written assignments. Maybe a B+. Maybe.

My Law class... should have been an easy A. But earlier in the quarter I had to miss classes to get the Philosophy homework done because there was no room in my schedule for it elsewhere. I intended to make up for it with the extra credit assignment, but never had time to do it. So that screwed up that grade. Maybe I have a B. The teacher said I did participate a lot, so that helps.

wildernessguru who's been here, watching how I use my time said, "This was the best you could have done. You've been run ragged honey, and you haven't had any time."

Compare this to last year, when I didn't have to work during school: straight A's.

All you guys who have your school paid for by your parents, or live in countries that provide free college... don't talk to me right now.

After 15 years in the workforce, I do know that. But my goal is to move on to the university, and so I need the good grades. UW generally assumes that grades from the community colleges are inflated, so my grades need to be top notch. There were a couple of scholarship programs that I need the 'resume' of stellar to get, so if these turn out to be too low, a lot of options get pulled out of reach for me.
