Well today was kind of bad. Got up… went to organic lecture and Spanish and then I realized that I still had another half of my organic pre-lab to write during my lunch break. I ate fast and got my organic lab book to finish the rest. I barely got done with it and got over to lab. Lab started and things were ok… until I got my last lab report back. She sets it down by my lab desk and walks away. A 50?? Out of 100?? The funny part is that 30 of those 50 points are from my pre-lab from last time and I only got 20/70 of the points from my actual 4 page lab write-up. AND it turns out that all of those 20 points came from my 20/50 on my discussion part. That means that I got a 0/5 on my intro, 0/5 on my mechanisms, 0/5 on my calculations, and 0/5 on my conclusion. THAT'S FUNNY. Because on most of those I actually had written and attempted the sections… and on those I had been at least half or more than half correct… because I checked with other people. She even wrote on one of the questions I got wrong…”do you even know what we did in lab??” How sweet of her. I think my being angry made me mess up on this lab we did today and I got like a 0% yield because I added .5 ml of the wrong thing at one of the 50 stinking steps. I tried to remedy this by getting the correct stuff but it didn’t really work. I couldn’t even finish the last 20 minutes. I don’t feel too bad because the girl behind me got a GREEN mixture when we were getting orange/red stuff… at least mine was the right color. On top of all of this we had to form groups… I selected 3 other people that I kina knew, and that I knew were really on top of things… people that could help me if I so needed it. She came around later and told me that she had to take one person from each group to make another group… and that I was the one in our group of 5 that she had picked to go to the different group. She said that she had selected the person who signed up last in each group… the thing is… she put me with 3 other girls who probably know less than I do about whats going on, and that's not much… AND… I WASN’T THE LAST ONE TO SIGN UP IN THE GROUP... I was the third person of five to sign up. That means she signaled me out… or she just has no idea what she is doing… and it really makes me angry because I had picked my group very carefully.. I NEED a good grade on this thing. I suppose these girls might not be so bad… we’ll see. They aren't even attractive… you would think they could at least be kind of cute so I could like flirt with them or something, you know?

Next up after my dinner break is history. Now this is going to take a long time to explain… last week I took a test in my class that is scheduled to run from 5:45 to 6:35. I have a class after that class that starts at 6:45 in which I also had a test. I get in my history class at 5:40... Sit down… get started right on time… and he says “you have until 7 pm to complete your test”. Now if you were paying attention, you know that I need to leave my history class at 6:35 to go over to my music history class (where I also had a test). The western civ test has 52 multiple choice questions and 6 pages (suggested) worth of writing. I had to try to do this in 50 minutes. We also had to fill out a little bubble sheet with our names and social security numbers and stuff. 6:35 rolls around and I get up to leave… having completed only about 70% of my test (because that's as fast as I could go). I tell him my situation and he tells me that I should have told him before the test and it’s just my bad luck. I turn in the test and go. I haven't confronted him again until today when I see an opportunity at the end of class. He was offering a make up test to people who were sick the day of the test. I ask him if I can take the make up test because of what happened and he gives me something like “absolutely not”. I tell him “the thing is… I didn’t know that the test would take more than the allotted class time” and he just says it’s too bad. I try to keep talking, and he turns around and walks away. The nerve of this man… I can't believe it. He just walked away. FUMING I walk out the back of the room… if there had been anything in my hands… it would have been crushed flat. Now I face a decision… do I just take this injustice lying down and accept whatever bad grade I get on the test because I didn’t have enough time to complete it, or do I do something?
I think you know the answer.
