So I'm in my third year of school, on track to graduate next spring. I absolutely love it here, but as time goes on, the upper level classes get harder and harder and this term especially I've just become overwhelmed.
I spent literally all night studying for a final this afternoon. This class is the very last class, excluding my senior seminar, that I have to take for my philosophy major. Got to the class, sat down to take the exam and there were only two questions. They were the questions I thought I was best prepared for, too. But I couldn't, for the life of me, answer either of them completely. There were three charts I had to fill out that were so similar to each other that, the parts that I could remember, I probably mixed up. And then I had to talk about how they related to each other and I couldn't remember most of the points. The second question was an argument I had to map out--except I couldn't remember what the argument was trying to prove. Without a conclusion, an argument is worthless. I'm so frustrated. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that I got about a 30% on it. Which means either a) I'll fail the class and have to repeat it next spring or b) I'll pass the class with the lowest possible passing grade. I'm sort of hoping for the latter because I don't think I'll understand it any more a second time and it would be horribly embarrassing to have to repeat the class with the same professor.
Doing just peachy with my English major, though. And I'm not at all concerned about my other finals. Yeah, they'll probably be difficult, but tolerably so. This one was just ridiculous. I just want to curl up on the couch with a big bag of chocolates, watch chick flicks, and cry until all of this is over. Unfortunately, I'm too poor to afford chocolate.
Ugh.
