Do you know the value of eight weeks? I just found out. Last night I took my final exam and turned in my final paper for my International Business class. Friday night, after being sick with the flu for 1 1/2 weeks, I found out that I had read my syllabus wrong - on my biggest assignment. I received a 38 out of 80. The absolute best I could do at that point was a B-, and that was only if I received 100% on my final paper. Throughout the whole term I did my best in this class often using my whole weekend to do homework. And to see it amount to this is devastating. After finding this out I was sorely tempted to take the class over next summer to erase the C from my record, but thanks to my dear husband, I gave it one last weekend of hard work. Though my paper left something to be desired, I can honestly say I did my best with the amount of time I used. Then last night I took my final exam in my math class. I went into it feeling pretty good. However, when I saw the potential results (the teacher has to review the whole thing before the grade is posted) I was devastated. From what I could see I will recieve 50%. There were things on the exam that weren't in the homework, and I am praying that other people will say something in addition to my email and that he will remove it from the exam??? I know I am grasping at straws, but I can't help it. This term has been full of hard work and this is the fruit that comes of it. I have a 4.0 at SOU and now, with just one term I have the potential to have two C's on my record.
I know that to most people getting a C is nothing compared to life's other troubles. But this is my life right now. It is what I put most of my energy into during my "free" time. And to see all of that work ....
God, please show me the meaning of this trial. I don't understand what you are trying to show me through this. Please help me to understand.
