I got called into the department head's office today. :/ He wanted to talk about my grades. ¬_¬ I haven't been doing so hot in neuroanatomy. It's a combination of me not knowing everything I need to know, 9am testing, and the quarter system which is killing me. If it weren't for Initial D, you guys would probably be visiting me at the funny farm and buying me padded wallpaper for my birthday.
Anyways, I'm currently hanging on the edge of a B-/C+ and anything below a B- is considered a fail. I think I'm at a high C+ right now. Which is obnoxious, because I feel I know way more than C+ worthy material, I just don't happen to know the right stuff sometimes. That is incredibly frustrating.
Anyways, in light of Dr. Levine giving me a boot to the ass (you should've seen me when he contacted me today. I was panicking.), I am going to disappear for a while. Don't expect to see me online or to answer my IMs. I'm trying to pass a class. This is the first time in my life I've been vaguely close to failing. OUCH.
Dr. Levine offered me to the option to drop the class, but I refused. I'm not the kind to just kind of roll over and drop a class. I was only going to audit Japanese, but I stuck through it and now I have an A there. I'm not going to quit neuroanatomy just cause I'm afraid of taking it and failing. Or because I'm going to shy away from all the work I have to do. My roommate's already dropped it because he needs a 90 on the test to even get the grades he needs. I think I need something around 85. I can do it if I just buckle down and study. The good thing about me is that I work very well and effectively under pressure.
See you guys all after my final on Wednesday. :3 And wish me luck!
