Alrite, I am just semi venting, but I feel I deserve the right to because I have been awake for .... 30+ hours and just failed two tests in the matter of 3 hours. One of the tests I failed is the second one in a row. It's not you're normal failure, it's "I'm lucky if I get 5 points" (outta 100) failure. My last test in that class (computer oh snap ass science) was a 0 outta 100. I knew I deserved that cause I didn't study and it was 6 programming problem/questions. This one, I have studied since 3PM yesterday til 7am this morning. I understood it and all, but got to the test and it happen to be the stuff I didnt get to study because I was studying the other stuff (which happen to be about 5% of the test, so there goes my 5 points I wanted). Well, then I had a Calc I test too, and we all know Calc I is a peice of cake, except I was taking the test and all of a sudden my mind blanked and none of the stuff I was writing worked out at all. Then I panicked cause I had 5 minutes left of test taking time. Um...... I looked through it and If I get all the points for what I did do, I will end up getting about 40 outta 100. YAY :( Goddamnit. So this poll here is asking your suggestion if I should leave now and save 3 weeks of my life anyways because I hate Duh Luth anyways to death and was thinking to just come home to relax til next semester. The only downfall will be that two other classes I have will end up being D's or F's also, but those classes are worthless pointless liberal eds (Jazz Studies and Intro to Guitar and are only 4 credits unlike the 10 credits from the two important classes I am probably going to end up losing anyways). Um....... yea, the house I'm renting is filthy as hell from the roomates which I think are disrespectful hippocrits(some of them), and I hate living there and paying for it. BTW, does anyone know how legal action can be had on me if I dont go thru w/ paying and don't pay for the rest... I don't have anything of value in my name ;) Anyways, My point is.... goddamn duluth in every possible way as I'm about to totally snap on every little last bit of life up here. So anyways, take the poll :) Damn, that was a decent vent.

If your under a contract for rent yes you will have to pay. You don't want to fuck with that, I ran into that exact issue in college and well it sucks.

Well I've had about the same week as you have had. Wednesday night I had a physics test that thought I did damn well on and it turned out that I scored a 26 out of 60 which equals a big fat F.
I've been trying to figure out what the hell to do and here is what I have come up with which I think applies to you also: Stick it out, college is supposed to involve fuck-ups and failures, and if needed retake the class. Your money is already spent so get what you can out of the rest of the semester. I don't know about your school, but down here at Iowa State if one were to come out of a semester with straight D's and F's you would have your ass stuck on adademic probation and basically given one semester to get shit together or you are "academically dismissed." If you were to leave now and end up not passing or barely passing all of your classes instead of pulling a decent grade out of your two liberal ed classes, next semester will be much worse off as instead of having two shitty grades on your transcript to account for, you will have four.

The money's spent, might as well stick it out for the two classes and get the credits.

Get whatever credits you can...save you time an money in the long run. Having straight F's for a semester won't look good on your transcript.

i just had a calc 1 test today and it sucked. i spent most of last night and about 4 hours this moring going over everyting for it. I knew everything on the review and when i got my test i just wanted to go kick the prof in the face. i didnt even attempt 25 out of 100 points. i probably got 40/100. ill probably fail calc but ill still go to class. im going to have to take it over in the spring. do you have greene for calc? that guy needs to get fired. he is the worst teacher ive ever had.

I am going to have to retake calc for the 3rd time next year....kinda sucks, I feel retarded. But then again, this math is pointless and has no practical application that you can't do 10x easier with algebra.

In all honesty I think that calc is ment to be taken at least 2 times...

I also think you should stick it out cause like they said 2fs are better than 4.
