Upset about a midterm

[Blue]

sorry to hear about all the crap you're going through. i agree it really sucks to be stuck in classes you aren't interested in and it's worse when it ends up being more complicated than it needs to be. i dunno how lenient your teacher is but maybe you can ask for a rewrite or extra credit or something to boost that grade? 44% is pretty harsh. usually teachers that grade like that tend to be on the proud side b/c most teachers will give at least a C if they see that you've even done the most minimal work. i'd say that when you talk to him, just listen to him go on about how wrong you are and why he gave you the grade. it'll piss you off but don't argue too much. just wait til he's done and then show that you're genuinely interested in doing well not only on this assignment but in the class, and ask what you can do.

i really hope he'll get back to you soon. it really bugs me when teachers have control over someone's grades, or future for that matter, but fail to care about it. but i guess no one's perfect. good luck and i hope it'll all be okie soon! =]
