this weekend has been a ROLLERCOASTER
#spend seven (7) hours hanging out w my honor sequence on friday until 2 am#*spent#should clarify that that was probably the first time all year ive hung out w somebody outside of class and band camp. lmao#anyway i had tons of fun and will miss them all a lot but this positivity was short lived </3#had to wake up the next day at 7:30 for my exam in a couple hours#got a 63% on the exam which is failing by that exam’s standards (you had to get a 68.5% or smth to pass)#drowned out my sorrows with heartstopper w vague concerns that this maybe meant i failed the class bc otherwise why would it tell me that i#failed instead of just giving me my score#considered emailing my professor abt this but did not#went to bed. it’s sunday. it occurs to me that this is probably information that’s in the syllabus. i check said syllabus and promptly burst#into tears bc it says if you fail any component of the course (including the final ofc) you fail the course itself#regardless of your overall course average (i have like a 90% rn so that just made it all the more utterly devastating)#THEN i realize that it specifically says passing is a 60% or higher so now there’s a discrepancy. bc i Did fail the exam. but i did not#score lower than 60%. so i finally email my professor asking for clarification bc this is the difference between me ending the class w a b#and ending it w a ‘d+ at the highest’ according to the syllabus. and he replied at 11 pm#saying i have nothing to worry abt bc he’s seen my hard work all semester and this shouldn’t be an issue for me. which is GREAT but also i#will believe it when i see it bc it is literally right there in the syllabus that i should not pass this class lmfao i don’t trust that the#egr department will let him get away w it (bc they were the ones in charge of the exam i didn’t even see my prof saturday he doesn’t seem#to have much power regarding the final)#also i was ignoring everyone’s calls saturday and sunday bc i knew they would interrogate me abt the exam and apparently this made them all#think someone kidnapped me and took my phone since i was still occasionally answering their texts. so that was fun#for the record when i finally did answer my mom bc she was worried she DID in fact interrogate me abt the exam#not in like a ‘she wants to know so she can berate me’ way just that she wanted to know what was wrong but i was v clear that i didn’t want#to talk abt it esp since i didn’t have all the information yet and i would just start crying all over again if i did talk abt it and she#just! kept pushing! like yes ofc im grateful that she cares abt me but PLEASE give me some space#anyway now that i DO have all the information that i can get i will tell her what’s going on but#personal#the engineering chronicles
